Female is on top of a frag, tail in air, scratching abdomen. Every few seconds a very small thing, about the size of a copepod detaches. Are these live births? I'm in no position to start a nursery, but if raising them is simple enough I may drop her in isolation if I can catch her.

Well. Let's start with the stand. I have zero to no experience in this, and I'm going to do it by ear. I found some old luber in the garage rafters, think its 1x2 or so. Found about 6-8 8' pieces, so theres my frame. I'm guessing I need a frame. So I made these, 24"x12"... Then I took 4...

Or for asking local shops to put on countertop? Bored and messing about for a few. These would be 2.5" x 2.5", a unique businesscard. Fairly cheap as well with 1,000, printed double sided, and gloss coated, would run $50. Just a thought.

So, my wife had some of these small, glass, suction cup planters to put on the windows for 'cute factor'. In doing some research on freshwater stuff, I found people using these things to mount freshwater plants on aquarium walls. I thought, 'Why not do that with corals, or better yet'...

So, in my continuing (and seemingly winning) HA battle I did a massive tank clean today. Of my scores of snails only a few small ceriths survive, along with a turbo thats grown the size of a golf ball. I know a combo of snails + hermits eventually = hermits. I do like snails, nice, slow...

Just curious what everyone is doing to kill any quarantine time. Both Carla and I are laid off, so I'm keeping busy, as is she, so we don't kill each other or the kids. Tank is getting a 10g change a day, cuz, why not? Continuing Space 1999 model build, a link which I'll update tomorrow...

Moving some stuff around the sump and found this guy... I'm just pulling ahead on an algae battle, I really don't want another war. Bah.

Needless to say, it didnt work out well. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-chloroquine-idUSKBN21A3Y2

Was asked to explain the difference between colds and flu and viruses in a way that wasn’t ‘medical’. Figured I’d pass it on. IT IS VERY BASIC and nowhere near as elaborate as any single step in any of the descriptions is. Any questions, post em, I’ll get as doctorly as I can if you like. So...

So, I have 2 MP40s. Opposing sides of a 4' tank. 1/3 way down glass, in center. Set on lagoon, master/slave, and anti-synch, 50% power, I canna' giv'er any more! I've got some decent coverage. I'm messing about with settings today and am going to try tidal swell. Was even considering trying to...

Carla is hospitalized with Coronavirus as she was having respiratory troubles. She's on IVs and monitors at the moment and will probably be there for a few days at least. I'm stuck inside now under official quarrantine with a 4yo and an 8yo, God help me. Sorry to Paulie as we're definitely...

So, tank has been up in my study for almost a year. Up against the wall, over a couple of beams that run horizontal with the tank, not perpendicular. Yesterday, while walking across the (hardwood) floor, it felt like a few panels were loose, they were creaky. I looked at the tank from the side...

I have 2 temp probes through 2 temp controllers each with a single heater hooked up with all set to 80F max (sorta quad protection). I have 3 Hydra 26s on programming, and 4 T5s on timers. My ATO runs through my kalk stirrer, which is adjusted monthly based on top off. It also beeps like a...

Just looked at my LetGo app. Someone in North Arlington just posted what looks like a nice 40? 60? gLlon rimless cube with stand and sump for $250. If I were closer would check it out myself. Do a letgo search for ‘aquarium’ and it comes up.

I thought the meet on Saturday was front and center, I think I recall seeing the post with donations, things people were bringing, etc... I can't find it, and I sort of need it for an address and such, and to update my donations to the NJRC members and coffers.

Anyone got one? We just rearranged the living room and theres a small open space a tank would fit nicely in. Might even consider flake/frozen eating dwarf horses.

Troubleshooting my RODI today and found my in water to be 147tds. Further investigation regarding town water showed it to be in a pretty sad state. Decided to run a new RODI for drinking water under the kitchen sink with an 8g upgraded holding tank. Figure this will supply enough drinking water...

So, this is a bit odd. I woke this morning thinking about the tank. I've been through many tanks over the years and have always preferred nanos 60g or under. And I've always loved zoas. I go through cycles of going bigger then downsizing after 1-2 years. But, a decent sized zoa breeder with an...

Got a 5g set up and cycled and invert only. Decided that, as its going to be sorta dirty, maybe I can try to get back to some zoas. As many may know I had massive zoa colonies and during an ill run of events, they were reduced to nada. I'm running sps now but to be honest, I'd drop the 120g SPS...
