Some spec sheets I made for a 90g. I have a mix of: acans on bed (2.5' from lighting) - slow to moderate growth softies low in tank (1 to 2' from lighting) - moderate growth LPS and red/pick zoas 1/2 down in tank (12-18" from lighting) - moderate to fast growth and SPS in...

Last Sunday my Reefkeeper gave up. Slew of errors, reset all, troubleshooted, etc. No dice. So been doing things manually. Coupon came from BRS, figured I'd buy a new one. Expensive but needed. Brought Jeep to my mechanic Wednesday. Cylinder head is cracked. At least $1200 repair if I don't...

Heads up. Just in Petco in Brick. Big bucket (160g) of reef crystals is $26.

Going to build a tank from 1/4" glass. Tank dimensions will be: 5' or 6' long, 8" wide, 12" tall. I've watched a number of vids but have no first hand experience doing this. Any experience or advice would be appreciated. If interested heres details of the why: We have a island jutting from a...

Well, Trio inspired me to get off my arse and get moving on a skimmer build. I found a few items around the hose in the aquarium junk box. Skimmer being built for a IM Nuvo 10 with approximately 3" diameter clearance in the back chamber (though 2.5" is more realistic for fit). I found a two...

So, I found a craigslist post for some Innovative Marine stuff - skimmer, reactor, fuge light, etc. The pics all look legit, showing shipping boxes and all equipment. It seems the story of a tank purchase which was never set up. The original ad reads: Interested, I send a mail: And I get...

Need one for a 10g nano.

Got one about the size of a baseball, it eats algae like a vacuum, and is by far the coolest animal in my tank. It's a fuzzy/spiky variety (Aplysia sp). I'm supplementing with seaweed. Just curious if anyone has kept one successfully long term and has any advice to offer.

I've got a few small, but thickening areas of green hair algae over the past month. Its growing slowly, densely, and surely. I had bryopsis in the past and took an aggressive stance against it (see below) so I'm surprised to see the GHA outbreak. I've also had the loss of a very well...

Setting up a 6-7g pico, looking to buy a small ATO unit. I'm in Brick. Thanks, M

Car folks, help please. I'm looking to buy a used Jeep. Found one on Craigslist, local, and test drove it. Its a 2000 Wrangler, specifically, this one... Jeep Wrangler Sport- Hard Top, 6cyl. Cleanest on CL We got the carfax and there's no incident of accident, there is regular maintenance. So...

Decided to do some new, semi-complex aquascaping in the new pico tank. Have a few pieces of rock that are too small to acid bath but have old/dead organics on them (algae and such). I've never used used dry rock and I'm unsure if any type of algae 'spores' and could survive. Is it worth running...

So I'm playing my favorite game, 'What the ^&$% is wrong with the tank today!', and today's contestant seems to be my torch coral. Its a good size torch with 3 large heads. Parameters are all good. 110 total system gallons. Temp: 78.5 Salinity: 1.026 Alk: 7.3 dKH (going to increase by a couple...

Picked up a couple of MP40s, both generation 1. Neither in great condition. I called Vortech today and explained the situation. One unit was unsalvageable, but they were more than helpful in helping me rebuild the other to full current spec, including QD wet-side and controller, RF module, and...

Sale of the species specific didn't work out, and as I was looking at the tank (which was going to be seahorse specific) I thought, its Saturday, off work as wife is sick and watching kids, I don't want to work on the floors, I'm a bit bored, and surely I don't have enough stress. I should make...

I know that theres numerous areas down the shore that are flooding and there are evacuations underway, especially with high tide and a 4-7 foot surge heading in this afternoon. My wife and I lost our previous home to Sandy and we know what a bit%^ it is finding shelter on short notice. We're...

Got to thinking that 2 gyres in my tank might work quite well, so... I have an MP10WES in excellent shape with a few foam covers. I'm willing to trade for a gyre 130 or 150, the newer build. No interest in selling, trade only. Located in Brick. Drop me a line if interested.

BAH! Everyone in the world has some sort of Eulogy. How can you not if someone has helped define you in some way. I’m a punk - from Clash to Rancid to Dead Kennedys, to Descendents to Greenday. But I love classical, Mozart rocks, to the point where Wolfgang is my son’s middle name. I’m a big...
