Did I ruin two MP40 wetsides? I'm pooping in my pants. The only thing I did differently (and for the first time) was to soak them in dilute bleach solution (a cap full in a pint of water). Here's what I found.....The wetside spinning in its entirety in the tank. To clarify, the entire...

So my consummate shopper just brought these home from Dollar Zone.....all for one dollar.....that is, all 12 tubes for $1.00! Granted, they are only 0.3 g each, but this still works for me.

What colors scream Christmas more than RED and GREEN? A red/(orange) monti cap with a green mushroom....on a tile plug.......... will really add the Christmas spirit to your tank. Pickup in Sayreville. (The picture doesn't capture colors correctly.)

I have a bunch of palys that need to go. There are two different colors, green with light green center, and brownish red. Can't get a good picture because they are right in the cormer of the tank. Here's the best I could do. Come get 'em.....pickup in Sayreville.

I should preface this with letting you know I'm a first class tinkerer. I like Ocean Nutrition Algae Clips. With their wide mouth, they perfectly fit the folded up piece of algae. I've only found one LFS (in Pennsylvania) that carries them (although I haven't looked very hard), and every...

This is brand new, never been opened, still wrapped in cellophane, EcoTech Marine Coral Fragging Tool Kit. Comes in a fancy-pants wooden box with everything you need to start fragging today. HERE's the link to find out more info about the kit. What a great Christmas gift.....and if...

I just can't seem to get a break with my LED's. Back in March I posted about the issues I had with the two Apollo fixtures I had, where I replaced all the blue LEDs, because they were burnt. I documented that HERE. At the same time, one of the six fans wasn't working, so I replaces that as...

I guess I've finally arrived. To my objections, and kicking and screaming like a two year old spoiled brat, my wife bought me a cell phone.....my very first. And now insists I take it with me. I'm not a happy camper. The younger crowd can't understand this, considering they were born...

Everyday is Black Friday, until I sell this pump! It's just too much pump for my little tank. A brand new, in the box, never saw water, Deepwater DC10 pump with a normal retail price of $259.99....now on sale for half price.....$130. For the 130, I can then buy the pump that's right for my...

In general I'm liking the new forum, but still have some comments. 1. The HOME page just isn't doing it for me. I would prefer if recent posts were included on the home page and the "who we are" info go into a link in the top bar (along with pictures and meeting info). When I go to our...

I think the Newspapers are fear mongering with their reference to Sandy, but I'm still getting prepared. Just got back from filling up three gas cans for the generator. Not going to be caught again without gas. Also plan on running the extension cords from the generator to the house this...

I've been doing a large amount of travel this past month....back and forth to NC. Made what was supposed to be a two to three day trip to NC that turned into a week or so. First I was told the battery was bad in my truck....new battary. Two to three starts later, and a distance away from...

I just got into the house from working tonight and my wife tells me we had a power failure for about one hour and ten minutes. No big deal.....we've had power failures and the tank just starts up again. But when I check the tank, the one ReefKeeper has a bar across it and all lights are on...

A deja vu moment for me that I had to share. Anyone who is of my vintage just loved Stairway to Heaven. A friend just sent me this link of Ann Wilson singing Stairway during the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors Awards....Just absolutely amazing! The drummer in this video is Jason...

I have three external pumps. Originally going external for return and skimmer, but things changed. Here's what I have.....all lightly used and only driven on Sunday to church by an old lady: Gen-X PCX 40 $110 Pan World NH-50PX-X $125 Pan World NH-100PX-X $150

Wow! Did I have a double Doh moment. We were entertaining at the pool, and I'm not sure if it was a Bruce Jenner effect with me feeling my feminine side, but I attempted to multitask. As most real men know, and certainly their wifes, men can not multitask. But I tried anyway...

So I pulled a Homer double DOH! today when I went to my local oriental market (H Mart), to purchase more algae. I'd figure I'd mix it up and try dried kelp, and a different brand of sushi algae then what I usually buy. I first tried the kelp with the fish, and no one has touched...

I've been meaning to switch out the MAG 9.5 return pump I have for a DC pump. I was fortunate enough to win a DC pump at NJ-RAP (I know it was listed as NY, but it was in NJ). I put the ticket in just seeing "DC Pump," and didn't take note of the specs. It was a DeepWater DC10. THIS...

After 36 years (actually longer because that's as long as we've owned the house) the filter on the 20K gallon tank in the backyard required change. I've been milking this thing the past couple years. This year, on start up, it coughed, and I told the wife I'm not even opening it up. My...
