    92g Corner Build

    In times of concern, outside of siliconing the ^$&% out of everything, a second option is to pick up tight tubing. I've had a few tanks in the past with problems and I'll pick up rubber tubing 'just too small' to fit. For example, if I have a 1" fitting that takes a 1" inside diameter tube (so...

    Innovative Marine 30 AIO Long

    MHO. That ammonia still looks a .15 and that nitrate is still high in relation to ammonia. Your ammonia (high) is still being converted to nitrItes (look good, the conversion is going well here so you have enough bacteria working), which is then being converted to nitrAtes (high) which dissolve...

    Rock advice please

    Won the auction as I was the only bidder (they're also a new supplier). I got the stuff at the relative decent price of $4.50 a pound as opposed to $7 - $9 a pound. Dropped a note to the supplier requesting moderately thick shelves ranging from 8x5 to 8x10 with other pieces at their discretion...

    WTB Kessil A series controller + mounts

    Saw that but its a bit too steep for me atm. This build is happening unexpected and quick so trying to save where I can. As I already have 1 Hydra I'm trying for a second, but figured I may take the plunge on 2 lights if they were used and a bit lower priced.

    Rock advice please

    Anyone ever use Marco Reefsaver rock? Like the look of the stuff and it runs $7 a pound. Marco ReefSaver Premium Shelf Rock - By the pound I'm looking to mix some rock in with my current rock for a new tank. Love the idea of a raised scape (as the reefsaver seems to be designed for)... Another...

    One Hydra 26HD, or 2 lights capable of covering a 110g (4'x2'). Eventually will also be looking for a hybrid fixture to mount them in. Looking for used.

    Thank You to All NJ Reefers!

    Herb, Shame to see you shutting down. Hopefully we’ll still see you about occasionally at some of the bigger parties. Best to you and tour family, and until we catch up again the legend will live on.

    If you see the first 2 photos on page 1 I built a false wall/AIO system. I'm using floss in the first chamber (which is so crazy I wont try to describe the build), a load of marinepure in the second chamber with a bag of carbon and a small amount of phosban, and the return in the 3rd. Dual...

    biocube & keep healthy Copepod population

    I have to say I do. I won't order unless they're doing a free shipping deal, but when I do order I'm always more than happy with the product. The pods are varied from tiny to very large and theres much more than expected. As said previously, I end up picking up jumpers from the countertops and...

    OK, so, I decided to hold off on the rockwall pieces as I made a serious design error, which is OK, as I've learned. Engineering = learning from failures. BUT! The tank is still go and is still holding up well. As detailed in another post I was having trouble keeping xenia alive in the new...

    biocube & keep healthy Copepod population

    I've ordered a few times from Aquarium depot. Regardless of experiences with corals and such from there (not good) their pods always amaze me for the amount and variation in size. I've ordered 3 times in past few years and have literally had them jumping onto the kitchen counter when I've opened...
