Hey all,
Just broke down a small frag tank as it was taking up needed desk space.
It about 2' x 8", bout 7g, has a frag rack capable of holding 45 frags, pump, etc.
Have a light as well if needed.
Was going to sell it all off but figured I'd volunteer it to the club for meets.
We can display...
One day, Mark hired people to re-side his old cedar sided house.
The front looked like this...
The back looked like this...
Mark went off to work that morning at 9am.
He returned home 3 hours later to find his house naked.
It looked like this...
But, after only 3 days the builders...
Need a tube type reactor for an experiment.
Was going to pick up a Phosban 150 on ebay for $40 or so but wanted to see if anyone has one laying around.
Willing to drop a few bucks or trade.
Lemme know.

So, in post DIY Easy cheap algae scrubber I described how to use simple plastic screens in an established sump/fuge or filter to get fantastic results. Still working unbelievably well and my initial $5 investment in this most excellent scrubber will last for the year.
But, I now have a SPS...
Started raising larger colonies over past 6 weeks.
To say I have thousands multiplying by the day is an understatement.
They survive for a number of hours in saltwater, fish go nuts for them.
If anyone in area wants a starter I'm happy to provide.
On pickup I can give a quick lesson on raising...
So, BOD Central Director.
My platform against my worthwhile opponent, er..., um..., well, OK, anyways...
My thoughts...
1. Defend the members during meets
In 2003 groundbreaking research revealed that 1 in every 200 males hold some line of descent from Genghis Khan.
As such I feel we need...
Found a poster for $5 on Amazon (2'x3').
Add a frame from Michaels...
aaaannnnnnndddd..... VIOLA!
We have something my wife will have me remove from the dining room wall when she gets home.
Picked one of these up for the 20g drop-off tank.
Gotta say that they are incredibly well designed and easy to use.
Possibly the best purchase I've made for a nano in a while.
Just ordered a second for my 25 shallow reef.
They're a bit of a pain to adjust with fluid media but I'm running mine...
Diatoms finished in new tank, but green algae is abundant. Starving it out now.
On the underside of my rocks, where the light don't shine, I found odd red spots.
I didn't notice them when I set up.
They are not coraline (they are only in shadow).
They are slightly raised.
They don't appear to...
So,
I found a pack of a dozen these at AC Moore, in the needlepoint area, for $4 or $5...
Tried to use them for some projects in the past, but recently decided to try something as simple as possible.
I took a butter knife to them and roughed them up...
Then I clipped it in my fuge...
Planning, in 2-3 weeks to place an order with reefcleaners.org
Also looking to do a specific fish order around that time from LiveAquaria.com (when the fish is in stock)
Know the shipping cost from these places is steep.
If I organize orders to be delivered on a Saturday (to Brick) would...
All items for trade! Looking for COLORFUL and not crazy to manage SPS and mushrooms. Located in Brick but can bring to meet.
Any new items have a price, but will accept a frag trade instead.
Any used items are free, original price is listed. If you'd like to offer a frag trade it would be...
Was looking to pick up a mount and u-bend tube for a Frankenstein ATO I'm putting together.
Saw the prices and almost choked - $25+ for an ATO float mount?!
So, plastic lid and scissors led to...
Add a lighter and a bit more scissor work (measure twice on the height)...
and then add a...
No, don't know this guy before today.
So, took an hour drive to Medford this morning to check out a link I found on Craigslist.
Met Bernie, who knows some of the club members from a few years back.
He's moving a big shop and has tons of stuff in storage in his basement.
I picked up 2 ATOs (new...
Amazon.com : Aquatic Life 115 Mini Internal Protein Skimmer/Filter, 30-Gallon : Aquarium Filters : Pet Supplies
Bought this to put in an IM tank, knew it was about 5mm too big but planned to modify.
Ends up I can't modify it, there's no way to shave off a few mils where I need to.
Figured I'd...
Saw Ken's beg to take the PX away.
There were a few that wanted it and couldn't make it to him to pick it up.
I have a lot in Brick.
Happy to cut some stalks for those that can't make it to Ken.
Keep in mind this stuff is like GSP mixed with steroids and injected into triffids.
It doesn't stay...
