I'd love to get back up to Dutch again one of these days. We also dive another quarry in Lancaster, PA called Bainbridge Scuba Club, http://www.divebsc.com/. It's smaller than Dutch but a little cheaper and lot less crowded. My dive shop switched from Dutch to there for there check out dives...

As soon as the weather warms up a bit I'll be doing a few dives at Shark River just to get the winter kinks worked out. Plus my girlfriend and youngest son just got their certs the end of November so I want them to get some more time in the water before I take them out to the wrecks. If you're...

The average temp was in the mid 50's on the bottom most of the year. Highest we got was 67F and that was the dive on Oct 4th, rest of the year it was 55-57F and I was more than comfortable in my 5/4. Coldest I have dove with that suit so far was 47F and even that wasn't bad until about 35...

Here are just a couple things we brought up with us this year. This spoon and screws were found on the wreck of the San Saba which sank in 1918. And these were a common find on every dive.

There are plenty of wrecks off the Jersey coast to dive. Some just require special training as they lie below recreational dive limits, however there are plenty that are well withing rec. limits too.

I'm not dry suit certified either. We all dive wet. I dive a 5/4 mm full suit with a 5 mm hooded vest and the rest dive 7mm 2 piece suits. We usually start diving in late April early May and our last ocean dive was October 4th, after that the weather canceled the rest of the trips. The shop I...

There are actually quite a few divers here. Myself, my 2 kids and my girlfriend all dive. John, Phyllis, Mike M and Brian also dive. I know there are a few others but can't remember off the top of my head. We used to get together for a dive/collection trip at Shark River but didn't make it...

You can check the New Jersey forum and the for sale forum over at Reef Central.

After a quick Google search, it appears that Allied Building Supply carries it. Here is a list of their stores, maybe one is close to you. You can also try contacting places that sell slate or stone as they may have it as well...

You can cut it, just use a sharp pair of scissors.

Mine never took to any of that. Maybe if I find another one this year I will try again. This is the first year I have seen them around here.

Paul, what are you feeding the burrfish? I collected one last summer but couldn't get it to eat. I tried live brine, fresh and frozen fish and shellfish but had no luck.

Leaving the lights off for 2-3 days won't harm healthy corals. The sun doesn't shine every day on the ocean's reefs.

Have you tested your source water for nitrates and phosphates? Also may wanna test your new saltwater for the same. It isn't uncommon for some salts to contain nitrates. The reason you won't see them when you test the tank water is that the diatoms and algae is using it up before you can test...

I may have to make a trip up your way and take some of them frags off your hands.

Re: Aqua Controller Jr. w/ Temp Probe, Serial Port & Direct Connect 8 Where are you located?

That is their fax number so that would explain why you never get an answer. Try 916-920-5222

After reviewing some of my notes I edited my previous post and removed the Triple Sulfa as it is not needed with the Furan 2. Sorry if it caused any confusion.

Do you have a picture of the fish? Is it one eye or both? I am thinking some sort of bacterial infection. You will need to remove the fish from your display tank and set up a 10 gallon hospital tank for treatment. I would suggest a 10 day treatment of Furan 2 as per package instructions. Furan...

Adding anything new to any tank, be it your display or a QT, just days before leaving for vacation is just asking for trouble. Your best bet is to hold off on the corals until after you get back. Just explain your situation to the folks you will be getting the frags from. I'm sure they would...
