    What is the most economical and bestest RODI system?

    I was using a Buddy RODI with booster, loved it. Went to a 5 stage BRS. Six months later back to the Buddy (fortunately I kept the booster). I replace the membrane 1x per year and the cartridges every 3-4 months at cost of $30 or so. DI I just replace as needed from a 5 pound bag. Runs me about...

    Pods

    Did this a couple times down by Manasquan inlet - dog beach area. Tried twice in spring. Grabbed lumps of seaweed and shook em out. Nada to minimum pods, plenty of dead seaweed and a few crabs. Decided not to try anymore. Last year during the late summer was down there. On a whim picked up a...

    Tank & stand help

    Hey all. So, though I hold onto my 35g cube it continues to deteriorate and I know I'm playing with fire (or at least enough spilled water to put out a fire) at this point. It's dimensions are 20" wide x 18" deep x 20" high and it's stand is a perfect match. Petco has a 35g Aqueon cube on sale...

    CLUB MEETUP prior to Reefapalooza?

    Was speaking with mnat and we were thinking of doing one over at my place in Spring/early summer but looks like you guys may have it covered. If either falls through, let me know, would be happy to host.

    reef cleaners order

    Gotta watch with the bumbles. They bounce. But seriously (not that anyone got that)... They are carnivores and they do like to eat other snails on occasion, some may eat other snails over any other food. Ask me how I know.

    Anyone running a Pod farm in separate container

    Intrigued and have been looking at a lot of the vids for the outdoor method. I think some people are confused as many of the 'massive pod growth' vids actually appear to be mosquito larva.

    reef cleaners order

    RC has been hit or miss the past few years and their stock is inconsistant. Saying that, they have great prices, will honor any DOA with a refund or credit, and usually throw a few extras in the bags. If anyone down the Shore area (I'm in Brick) wants to do a group buy, maybe we can start up a...

    Scammers every where

    I hear ya. I hate doing business on any of these sites anymore. Low bids, scamming, and no shows abound. To help out I've decided I'll buy the tank off of you, but first I need to verify that you aren't going to scam me. I need you to send me your social security, bank account, address, and...

    X15s. And can confirm that the new lights with the current Mobius on iOS did automatically change over with Daylight Savings.

    NIce CS from Ecotech

    The spectrum is increased (I went with the Blue) and the micro-details that are showing in the corals are impressive. I also currently have a single light center mounted ver a 36" tank while awaiting the delivery of the second. The spread is crazy, I was planning to move some sticks to the...

    NIce CS from Ecotech

    I sent in my G3 for repair. It was unrepairable. Ecotech contacted me offering an upgrade to a G6 for $299 and, as my diffuser wouldn't work with the 6, they'd throw in a free diffuser as well. I accepted and also asked about a refundable purchase of $80 I made moons ago and they honored it, so...

    Apex seems cheap. What's wrong with it?

    Noisy Sump...lots of air...suggestions?

    If you drill out the top of the downpipe you can accomodate whatever size tube (it doesn't have to be rigid, it can be normal airline). If you then take a piece of this and insert it through the hole and down into the water flow (to the sump) it should help stop the gurgling. You can actually...

    To those selling corals on site

    We've had a few 'overshoots' the past few weeks, which isn't fair to our paid sponsors. Anything up at the moment will be left standing, but please review and follow the selling rules... https://www.njreefers.org/threads/2022-rules-for-member-sales-not-vendors.107529/

    Haven't seen your tank in a while. The ship decor is pretty much overgrown. Nice.
