    Anyone done an active tank rebuild?

    So I ordered some flat rock from a guy in Fla and I love the stuff. Love it so much so that I'd like to remove my current scape and replace it with a new build consisting 80% or better of this new rock. The fish will be temp moved to a holding tank on the day of action. If anyone has done this...

    Muckley Eye Distillery in Colts Neck

    Pulled into this distillery while driving by in Colt’s Neck and picked up a bottle of rye after sampling. It’s handmade small batch and is one of the better rye whiskies I’ve ever had, and at $46 its a steal for the quality. Big caramel and oak nose with fantastic initial vanilla hit followed by...

    PS4 - Dark Anthology games review

    So, I'm a casual gamer. Most recent pick ups are Miles Morales and CP2077 (which seems to run OK on the PS4 Pro). Back in 2015, Supermassive games put out a game called Until Dawn. It was a horror with a good story and played like a choose your own adventure book. I really enjoyed it and...

    Update on the pest tank

    For those of you not in the know I have a tank set up for 6 years now. Initially it was a 10g, a few years back I upgraded it to a 30g. Any ugly frags left at meets, any scraps, any 'WTF is that?' items are arbitrarily thrown in it. Nothing has ever been purchased for it. No sump, just a hang on...

    Back to basics - Reefing woes

    Yesterday my wife mentioned the corals looking washed out. Today most of my SPS, including some big stylo and acro colonies, are mostly dead (within 48-72 hours). Yet, my BG digi is doing fine, as are all zoas, montis, a scroll, and fish. Parameters seems fine. Not perfect, but not bad. I'm...

    Dragon's Breath Macro & marine pure

    This stuff usually goes $15 a bunch. I've got a load of it if anyone wants any. Can easily break it down into 8-10 portions. Also, have a bunch of marine pure media chunks that are very bacteria alive and ready to be dumped into a sump. Can fill a number of bags with that as well. Stuff is all...

    Buying bulbs, T5 user thoughts

    So I'm running 2 blue+, 1 coral blue, and one coral + Thinking of cutting back mildly (or severely) on the whites. I love color pop and like some of the detail whites can pull in, but experimenting. Would like max amount of various color pop. So... For folks that have run various T5s... First...

    SPS growth

    So, although I was frustrated that my tank couldnt grow zoas and SPS was growing like weeds, my husbandry has fallen off and the SPS are dying back. As I have no zoas in the tank due to the SPS being water quality divas, I'm a bit pissed at them. But I will appease them, as they're hot and I'm...

    Marine Magic algae scrubber

    Just took a dive on one of these... https://www.marinemagic-online.com/?product=marine-magic-ultra-slim-algae-scrubber Seems a reasonable build. Don't have the time or resources to build my own at this point, and I've read some iffy reviews on the Santa Monicas and the CoralVues, plus I needed...

    Well, 2020 continues to astound me

    I'm not %^&$$%$# with you. This happened this evening. A few months back I ordered a hand stitched leather Halloween mask from Ebay, paid through Paypal. It was from a Chinese company, but I took the chance anyway as the item looked incredible. I received a cheap $5 latex mask with a broken...

    Brick Petco concern

    As many know those of us in central south praise it, but for the past few weeks Andrew, the manager and driving force behind it, has been out. He’s a great guy and hoping all is as well as can be with him. Since his departure the tanks have been dark a few times I’ve been in. The first time, a...
