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.
My sand dollar died last month. I went out to Something Fishy this past weekend to get another. To my surprise, they had one. (It never showed up on their web inventory.) They'd had it for a year, and kept moving it from a sand bottom invert tank to another invert sand bottom tank to keep it...
Today I got an odd assortment of free stuff from Bulk Reef Supply.

a deck of BRS Playing Cards
a stuffed BRS clownfish
a very large orange MXM t-shirt
a wooden Mr. Chilli wireless phone charger
a pair of 11" VCA Limited Edition BRS Tweezers

I've thought for a while that the Reef Factory Dosing Pump Pro was the best dosing pump currently available. Stepper motor, reversible flow functionality, under $100 when on sale, runs independently of a Reef Factory controller, Wi-Fi controllable, minute dose amounts if wanted, yada, yada... I...
I just discovered that Salt Water Aquarium (SaltwaterAquarium - Aquarium Supplies) is carrying BRS GFO HC for a little less than BRS sells it for on both regular and sale prices. Probably true for BRS ROX Carbon too, but I didn't check those prices.

It'been a while since I saw one offered.
Caveat 1: the Banner says "4 inch" but lower down on the page it says 3-3.5 inches.
Caveat 2: these babies can grow to 30 inches.
(I'd get one myself, but...
Has anyone ever tried the no-name RO Membrane Cartridges on Amazon? If so, what are your recommendations?
They're half the price of the DOW equivalents, and sure look like a DOW manufactured white-label product...

I hit Something Fishy today. They had some very large Deresa Clams for only $100 each. They looked to be 4 to 5 inches each. I think there were five of them in three different patterns. There was no indication of origin — they usually mark "ORA" if something originated there. I've actually...
ME:
How would I use the oscillate command in Neptune's Apex controller to turn a pump on for 15 seconds and off for 30 seconds?

I really dodged a bullet this afternoon. A had 45 year old angle iron stand self destruct on me. Rust will do that, in spite of several coats of Fletco Ferrothane I gave it when I bought it. It was holding an empty 65 Gallon tank, that is teetering at the mommment. The tank looks OK, but I...

Earlies this week I, and a fellow reefer, placed an fish & invert order with NYAquatic. The dollar total was $400. NYAquatic is in Yonkers. They ship via UPS Nest Day Air for $22. The $22 shipping is less than I would pay for gas and tolls to go there myself - I'm an hour away in North...
