Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I order from the every year or so. Usually all is well. I expect about a 10% loss from them, but theres always a few extras in the bags, and for the prices you cant get better (assuming your order survives).
Then again I never order the overnight shipping items, just generic snails and hermits.
The Bi-weekly harvest is here.
Have 2 GIANT bags with pods and whatever else is in there.
If you get in touch with me by 8:30 tomorrow morning I can leave it outside in Brick or bring it to Jackson.
Also can hold for pickup up for tomorrow or Friday (ar Sat if it lasts that long (I'd do a bag...
Always curious on this myself.
I've always shot for approximately a 10x flow from the return pump, my 2 40b's are now running inexpensive pumps from Amazon that are pushing 350-400gph.
I thought that the longer the water was in the sump with the skimmer, reactors, heaters, and whatever else, the...
So, driving for a few hours today with NPR on.
The Planet Money show comes on and they're speaking of all things, sand.
Big business sand.
So much so that hundreds of thousands of tons are dredged, dug up, and stolen from various regions every year for everything from creating concrete and...
I don't bother with glue, I have the attitude of dump it in and it will find it's place.
If they float I do use a wooden guide rod to coax them to where I'd like them to be, then I leave it up to them to figure out the rest.
To be honest, having a previous career in art and marketing, that Conch box is a cheap print, have no doubt its not a prime product.
And, now that I look at it in detail, 'The Way We Make Wave' is sorta, off.
So, I'm now on the website, which promotes...
'Conch Slim 8 is on the way'
While...
One stayed low...
One dug in...
One climbed to about 3" from surface...
One in an acclimation box still.
2 went into a tank with hermits, think they we're ripped up (I fragging hate hermits).
The other 2 in the main tank?
No idea.
I do understand that people that cleaned ice didn’t earn much money, probably why they mechanized it.
BUT! More important!
With the reminder of your book having been published, and my failure up to this point to pick it up, I trudged down to Amazon. I typed in Avant-Garde and quite a number of...
I have baseboard oil and the house gets dry.
The tanks act as a humidifier.
I go through about 1/2 to 1 gallon a day on each of my 40g tanks.
No worries as long as you keep topping the tanks up to avoid the salinity raising too high.
May not be the salt change. Might be age of tank, temp, or other factors.
Started to monitor temperature last week. May break out the kits to monitor all the other stuff just to see what's going on (I normally don't monitor).
May never know and not too bothered, but its interesting.
Week out update.
Everything is fine with one exception.
I had adopted my first duncan, which was moved into the tank and doing well acclimating, but the environment change magnified by the tons of peroxide hit it hard. Transferred it to another tank in hope for revival.
There is something odd...
Sometimes, if I know the coral is coming from a clean tank, I'll just acclimate and drop in.
Just got a few frags from a trusted member and they went straight in.
Vermitads are a pain, but you'll get them at some point regardless, in my experience with the tanks I keep they're not overly...
Great deal on lights, great RO system that suits your needs, and even if it doesn't have the DI its only a few bucks as an add on.
There ya go. I should quit my job and move into setting up power couples.
You've answered one, with the eating cubes and strips, then another with the ability to acclimate to other inverts if fed well enough.
I was hoping to have a few soft corals, perhaps LPS, on the rocks. HAve you had any corals and if so, have they survived? Does it tend to pick at coral or is it...
I use this 4 Stage Value RO/DI System - Bulk Reef Supply with an inline meter.
I switched up when I began running multiple 40g+ tanks and was doing 20+ gallons of water changes a week.
The buddy system worked great for me with 60g worth of tanks.
I'd probably still use it if I hadn't snagged the...
Joe,
Go look in Deals and steals.
Amado is selling some Kessils that I'm trying not to buy myself.
Never owned Kessils but heard great reviews and this seems like a great deal for $250.
2 x Kessil A80/ Kessil H80 and Kessil Spectral controller X $300
Marine Depot seems to be offering a finance...
