First FOX of the Season, or Ever! The dog was going nuts on his walk, and when we got to a clearing in the woods there was a little red fox standing there, the first one I've ever seen alive in NJ. Funny thing is, it didn't run away, it just walked to a kind of safe distance and checked us out...

Hey kids, DON'T add 50lbs of uncured LR to your system and go to the movies without adjusting your super-duper skimmer. I came back to find about 10G of SW on the floor of the garage. my home made skimmer waste collector bucket failed to shut down the skimmer enough to stop the flow. I need to...

I would give it a little while for her shell to harden up but not too much. Like the next day.

It's possible the large one is F and the smaller one is M. You might put them together and hope for the best...However, I will now share the secret of paring up CBS. F will accept the first shrimp she sees after molting. If possible, separate them until she molts (with reasonable feeding this...

First place I called out of live rock till after the holiday! Don't they know I'VE BEEN WAITING A YEAR FOR THIS?? Second place offerred me a good price on 50lbs of Puke-on-me LR, doesn't sound so good but he says it's great, fused porites. So I'm getting some. Borrowed some tools from work to...

Hey...It could happen. ROFL!

The rock rack with new Cave Attachment. Rock with cable tie through it. The rock rack with attached rocks Drilling rock with the masonry bit: No comment: Rock after 2+ yeasrs cooking Here comes some saltwater!!

Awright...got all the rock from my old 90 out of the cookin' tub and into the big tank. It does look like a lot of rock. Not sure if I need a full 100lbs of new rock, I certainly don't need more. Spent some time attaching rocks to PVC on a trial basis..it's working OK, I hope the cable ties...

If we go, we're going EARLY EARLY EARLY for the first launch. Then we will poke around the midway for a while and leave. The last time we went (years ago) we stayed for the evening launch and spent 90 minutes getting out of the parking area!

The trick is to just keep the bill the same each month so your spouse doesn't notice. While my tank has been offline, I've been secretly running a 1000W heater off in the woods. Honestly, what if you guys had a REALLY expensive hobby, like flying or owning a wooden sailboat? :D

Despite what it said originally, rock and sand is NOT included. Boo hiss! Fie on you Dr. Mac, may a sea urchin hide amongst your Jockey Shorts. Prolly still gonna buy my rock from him, it's one zone away and I don't have to pay sales tax.

Ralph, thanks for hosting, it was a great meeting. I really enjoyed seeing your tanks!

I take it back, their pictures don't show the aquarium, they stink. Guess I should have taken my camera! I took a couple with my cell phone, lemme see how they look.

It was a bizness trip so i didn't bring my camera. Besides, I think their pix are probably better than any I could take! http://www.georgiaaquarium.org/

Down here in Atlanta getting some training, so I headed over to downtown after it was over. The aquarium is amazing!! Great coral reef tank (it has some live coral), and the huge whaleshark tank is amazing! The front is the world's secon;d largest window, and it's like 2' thick. A lot of nice FW...

FWIW, I have a couple of chips like that in my old 90G and it was fine. Just fill it and watch closely...

In the meantime, here's a couple bear pix from last year, a mother and THREE cubs!

I took some pictures but it was dusk so you can't see much. I need either a big flash or a much faster telephoto. The cubs were pretty cute, just about the size of big raccoons.

Dr. Mac is now offering us in the club free UPS ground shipping, making my decision even easier!

No, I'm going to get live rock from Dr. Mac. I think. I have about 100lbs of rock from my old 90G that's been "cooking" for 2 years, so that goes in first. Dr. Mac has Fiji LR for 2.99 a pound right now. Plus, he's 1 UPS zone away from me, so I can pay UPS ground shipping and get the rock the...
