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.
The one I have apparently won't take to a timer, but it does program and do the on/off thing. Might be the bluetooth is busted or it's too old to have Seems the new ones do the timer thing if you have one.
Run both Nicrew on programmer, which wasn't too bad, and a K7 set on a on/off timer.
Both work very well.
Either puts out more PAR than my Radion 6s, and I'd argue they seem to work just as well.
So you posted yesterday that the wrasse had spots.
General questions popping in my head...
Did anyone ID them? Do they look like any common disease?
If it is a disease do wrasses hole up when ill?
If it is dead, what can kill it so quickly?
Seems OK, there was still algae in the tank along with nori (he did clear about 90% of the GHA). 10pm he was going strong. 6:30-7am he was on the bottom. Gave him till 8 to see if he was just acting, but no dice. Was very odd.
A few weeks back I adopted a sea hare from Madreefer. It was doing quite well eating both nori and GHA. I'm watching it go to town on some rocks and nori on Sunday night around 9-10pm and Monday morning at 7 it's dead, this is after weeks of no problems. No water change, no chemicals added, all...
So, buzzing and bored. Been off booze for ages and had a Manhattan and 3 beers at a business meal and everything is going downhill
So, I've regressed.
Thinking of childhood TV, back when there were 5 channels.
Kroft Superstars. Speed Buggy, Schoolhouse Rocks, Groovie Ghoulies, etc...
Subjected...
Still have one of those from 10+ years back, seen 4-5 tanks, used regularly (still) for mixing, and is still working as new.
Hope the new ones live up to half that expectation. Probably going to give it a shot - at that price, and with a new manufacturer I'll give it a go.
So, one of my clowns, which seemed perfectly healthy and eating last night, and seemed OK this morning, was on the bottom attracting snails this afternoon, no apparent injuries or visible sickness.
He was about 4-5 years old and seemed quite well, at least until the dead part.
All other fish...
Argh. Tough recovery. If you're in Spring Lake area at any point lemme know, my wife has an acupuncture office and can help reduce pain and inflammation, zero charge for a fellow reefer :)
Having allergies, about 2 weeks back I replaced my car cabin air filter, which is behind the glovebox in cars, with a high end anti-allergen one, which I do every mid-winter.
A high end filter costs around $25, though you can get a normal one for $10, and it takes about 3 minutes to install (my...
Petco in Brick is where I go, as well as Madreefer, mnat, and a few others. Tanks were kept by a guy Andrew, who was fantastic and recently retired. They were taken over by Ben from Tropiquaria, so the marine tanks are up to par. He recently upgraded coral lights to Hydras and brought in a few...
