    Taylor ham ?

    Kleenex are tissues, not all tissues are Kleenex. Brillo is steel wool, not all steel wool is Brillo. Taylor Ham is pork roll, not all pork roll is Taylor Ham (though Taylor Ham is the pinnacle of deep fryable tube shaped processed fatty pig flesh and slaughterhouse by-products)

    WTB 60 cube Brick 08724

    Thanks guys! Yeah, the seller, Steve, and I were in contact and had a few things arranged. Unfortunately the family emergency has taken precedence and I wont have the time to set up a new tank or go through the logistics of a transfer right now. So, this project is on hold indefinitely. Again...

    New Reefing buddy

    Thanks, only got her so I could dress her up as a Loki variant... But seriously, if you've never had a Lab get insurance asap. This is the first one we have and a friend that raises working dogs told us to think twice. She won't accept any in her home to train them due to the eating thing. FEw...

    WTB Mag7 or equivalent

    I just picked up a used box of pumps at a yard sale, as I only had 43 extras. Surprise! A Mag5 and a Mag3 are in there. The Mag5 is so old the production year was LXXVXII and it was was using bronze gears. 'Odysseus' was carved into it. Beat it up, took it apart, rinsed it out, and its running...

    Grats! We picked up a lab mix in Feb. It will eat EVERYTHING - food, dirt, bark, plastic, knives, fire, etc... Get pet insurance asap, our first trip for a stomach exam and pump cost us $1000 within a week of bringing her home.

    Meet/ Greet or Swap Meet North Jersey

    My legs are very toned and sexy. It comes from having to haul around the disaster that is from my butt up.

    Meet/ Greet or Swap Meet North Jersey

    The third question should be either: - What is your favorite color?, or... - What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? (To which the only proper response is African or European?) As it stands: 1. Yes, depending on date 2. Good either way, and willing to put in some legwork if...

    Muriatic or bleach? Semi-emergency upgrade.

    The 10 year, no water change tank is undergoing an upgrade. Upping it to a 90 cube and adding contents of a second tank to it. Currently I have about 40-50 pounds of good rock in tanks, most of its been there for 5 years or longer. I need to add another 30 pounds or so of rock saved from...

    any meet planned?

    Sorry. As all seemed to be improving I had one planned this month, but had an emergency come up and had to cancel. There is some noise in the air about someone volunteering an August meet, but its in early stages and unconfirmed.

    Water change on 150 gal tank or more

    Wellllllll, know this isn't normal but, as many members will attest, I have a tank thats going somewhere about 9 years without a WC. Its a 40g cube, RODI topoff, I check salinity once every 3-4 months on a whim, no dosers, no QT. Saltcreep gets pushed weekly back into tank if I remember to do it...

    Jumping Fish

    It's not used to the angles of the tank or position of rockwork and is scanning to an extent, plus chemical balances and pressure throws things off in new environment. They're scoping out the new digs and committing cilia readings of pressure changes to muscle memory. If you rearrange the rocks...
