Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Thank you for the kind words, and remember you have a free refill if you need it :) (hopefully you wont). Most of my stock is from other members from this club that have been equally helpfull to me (Merv and Ralph to name the few)
Last time I was in All Aquatics, they had a bin full of bulkheads and other plumbing parts, and I believe I saw the gaskets as well. If you do not mind driving to 3048 S. Broad St, Hamilton .
Though, in this article, Bob Fenner is addressing some problems of the Elegance coral in specific, his arguments are taking in the consideration the whole Caryophyllidae family, whose members include genus Euphyllia:

Actually, I believe, that the corals of the Euphyllia species - Frogspawn, Hammer, Torch and Fine Grapes, to name the most common species, need to be placed horizontally, in medium light, medium current and "dirty" water. Of course what "medium" is, is open to discussion :), but that is where...
NO!
term ZOOM means that lens does not have a fixed focal length, but can change it in a range A to B, so you can see things under different magnification - Zoom in (magnified) Zoom - out (wide range).
MACRO means that you could physically come very close to the subject and still see it clear...
If it was single-endded it would be easy to say, but since it is double-endded it is a bit strange that the socket is receiving enough power to heat the matearial and not enough to heat the elemnt inside the bulb. That would indicate that there is some kind of resistance in the part that...
Nassarius snail (Nassarius vibex) is probably what you were talking about. It is a good scavenger and detritus eater, and will go after any uneaten meaty food. Its burrowing helps turn the substrate. I never heard of it being bothered by hermits because a) it is bigger and stronger and b) it is...
Unfortunately there are so many things that could be wrong:
For example, the place where you intended it to sit might have wrong flow. Either too strong or too slow for its needs and likes.
Then, the light could have been too weak to start with, the anemone moved and tried to find a better...

There was a lengthy thread when I asked the same question: http://www.njreefers.org/forums/index.php/topic,3600.msg33271.html#msg33271
Anyway, while not many people have calibration liquid, many have fine tuned and precise idea of their salinity so you can roughy calibrate on that. My was...
Unless it is a financial constraint, why don't you try to replace all of them? Of course your motherboard might not be able to utilize the newer chips to their full potential. Hopefully your hard drive is 7200 rpm and not 5400 (which is in fact probably more important for overall fast...
It could be cyanobacteria feeding of nutrients that are floating on the surface. If you don't have a overflow, try to get one, or direct water movements (powerhead, returns) in such way to disturb that film and allow submersed intakes to capture it. If you have overflow, make sure that it is...
Sorry Carl, but I have to disagree with a couple of points you made:
First of all, toxicity of macroalgae is very species oriented. While Caulerpa taxifolia is very toxic, other species are not. Some species of caulerpa are even used in human consumption (I hear). Also, I am a bit surprised...
Look at it this way: It definitively absorbs them from the water. If you "harvest" it out of the tank you have removed from the tank that amount that was absorbed. That can't hurt :) Is it as efficient as some other method, that is open for discussion and depends on your setup. There are plenty...
