    Possible emergency - Radion G3s

    So, came home today to one of my G3s out. Both are Mobius chipped. Both on same Mobius program. The one in question's LEDs 'blinks' once in a while. All LEDS seem to be functioning when it does. If I try to restart the program in Mobius it works for a second, then dims and goes back to the...

    WTT to get small cube 30-60g tank (& stand)

    Heya all, My 10yo Oceanic cube is on the way out, silicon started dropping. Knew it was coming, now we're there. Looking for a cube, 2'x2'ish, 30-50g. With stand bonus as the Oceanic stand is an odd size wont fit many other tanks. Aqueon started resupplying cubes and can grab one new, but...

She's in Manasquan and only doing 2 days a week as she needs to keep her other job until this one takes off. Site is here (still working on it, so not everything works): www.healthworks.info...

    It is with great regret... Torch for sale, Brick

    As beautiful as it is, it's a monster and won't stop growing. Think we're around 6-7+ heads at this point, larger than a softball, and is now killing stuff in my 40. Been advised by a couple of folks on pricing and going to throw a number out there of $400. This photo is from a couple weeks...

    Crazy torch

    Have had massive growth of my green/gold torch over past few months, bout 5-6 heads at this point and bigger than a softball. First torch I've really owned, now I'm thinking this may overcome my zoo addiction. Problem is its getting too big for the tank. Its actually so tall the arms are...

    Fishin tomorrow am - Point side Manasquan Inlet

    Going to drop in around 9:30 till 11:30 or so, just across from Sinners on the inlet. Just got a bait caster and going to learn to use it (and basically start the learning curve on marine fishing). Shooting for malnourished fluke or Bennie jet skis to start. Going to chill for a couple hours...

    What is this?

    Picked it up at pinky nail size and it looked like a bog standard shroom with cool blue spots. Its getting big and its pretty darn impressive, took some shots under different lights (unfiltered). Its pretty stunning with oranges/reds/blues/greens, will try some filters tomorrow, if it is a...

    Pondering a nem tank

    So I have 5 nems, 2 banished clowns, and a bunch of rock. Thinking about breaking down the pest tank and making a nem tank. The nems are in the main display and I'm unsure if they will survive in the water in the 'pest tank', which has not seen a water change in 10 years (yes, thats true, and it...

    WTT Pulsing Xenia for stuff

    Yes, the weed. Had a ton of it as a water filter in my 'pest tank' then added a bunch of Dragon Breath. Scene got gloomy, lots of back alley dance moves and knife fights set to dramatic showtunes. Xenia lost. Looked into my heart and realized I loved Xenia, and regret what I put i through. So...

    T5 to LED question

    So, I dtropped the XR15s over the tank. There's now 2x of them over an IM30g AIO. I removed the 4 bulb T5, going to try just the LEDs for now. So, the big question... As the corals were under considerable T5 coverage, should I do an acclimation with the LEDs? I can set start level percentage and...

    D&D, Players, DMs, Vidiographers, Computer Skills, etc...

    So, my kid has gotten into Dungeons and Dragons. He's 10. I've been playing D&D on and off since I was 15 (back in the demon possesion scare along with Ozzy music). The kids today are NUTS for it. My son decided to try to start a group and he's got a score of kids interested in days. So, I'm...

    Ecotech is friggin insane

    Their pricing has always been high, but selling mounting systems as 'modular' is, as the Brits say, 'taking the piss' (aka taking ridiculous advantage to the point of stupidity). For me to arm mount, if bought new in pieces... $266 for 2 mounts, thats nuts. OR, just buy a full unit for $110...

    Can finally show tank shots…

    So I turned a corner after a year and things have finally fallen in line. There were about 5-6 ‘pack it up’ thoughts over the past year. PS If anyone knows what those guys are in the last shot, please inform, they’re growing like weeds.
