Doing a little house cleaning…..I no longer have a planted tank: 2 – 16 oz bottles of API Leaf Zone 1 – 500 ml Seachem Flourish Over $30 worth of stuff…..FOR FREE!

Brian and Mrs. Fish Brain, thanks for opening your house to this month’s meeting. I know my wife would have been having spasms seeing the cottage-like home you have. Also can’t complain about the great weather we had. Good seeing some old faces as well as a bunch of new faces. Thanks...

I picked up a used JBJ ATO to use on a JBJ 28 tank. My interests were to set it up using both floats to turn the pump off when they “floated”. I basically want a two float system to assure when one switch went bad, the other would still turn off the pump to the water reservoir. So I’m...

I’ve reached the end of the rope……I’m switching teams. Since the inception I’ve been a Reef Crystal user. I came to believe that your choice of salt was like your choice of spaghetti sauce….whatever you were brought up on is what you liked. Well I guess that is not true, because I’ve had...

I’m old and don’t like change, and I’m happier than a pig in mud with my old technology ReefKeeper 2 controllers. I now have three of them, and they suit my needs just fine……until picking up my last one. The first two RK-2’s had nice metal (probably bimetallic) temperature probes that are as...

Got to get some of this out of my tank......come and get it. Thanks.

I know I could search on finding a skimmer for my JBJ 28, but I thought I’d get the latest input from the members. So whose skimmer should I be looking at?

DIY Nano Stand I am very happy the way the DIY Nano Cube Canopy came out, I’ve decided to now build a similarly designed stand for the JBJ 28. There are other reasons I want a new stand as well. 1.) I’m not real happy with the stability, or lack of stability, of the stand. When I...

Happy St. Valentine’s fellow reefers! :love_heart: During this past snow storm, my neighbor returning home in his work truck backed his truck into his driveway. My wife heard the beep-beep-beep of his back-up warning, looked out the window, and then announced that Marco (my neighbor)...

I NEED A REEFKEEPER 2!!! After having to set up the JBJ 28, I’m getting tired of having to manually turn on lights, play with temperature, etc. I need a Reefkeeper…..an old style Reefkeeper 2. I know many of you young-uns want to connect to your tank controllers and have abandon the...

I’m a Reef Gadget user. If you’re not familiar, this is a little piece of plastic that holds a razor blade, and it is glued to your Mag Float. It makes cleaning your glass a snap. I couldn’t live without it. It is actually my second most favorite purchase I’ve made for my tank...

Vortech’s overpriced powerheads are known for eating bearings on their dryside, usually evident in becoming very loud. If they are still under warrantee, no problem, you get a new dryside replacement. If they are out of warrantee, your choice was to buy a new dryside for mucho bucks……..until...

Paul’s Tale of the Little Saltwater Tank A few days before Christmas I received a call from my adult son who was driving down from Rhode Island for the holidays. He tells me to make five gallons of salt. I’m a little curious, but the fool I am, I don’t ask any additional questions, and let...

I know we have members who could help me out. My computer screen shrank and is off to the left…. I already tried going to “Properties,” “Settings,” and sliding the bar all the way to the left. The only thing that did was give me a larger picture within that same smaller framed area...

This DIY will be a work-in-progress. I don’t know if this build will work, so it could be a documented failure. I am starting this on January 7, 2013, and will update as I am permitted to spend a little free time in the shop without the boss screaming. I am going to attempt to build a...

WTB Reefkeeper 2 or Lite Looking for the old style Reefkeeper 2 (preferred), or Reefkeeper Lite. The kid dumped another tank on me and I’d like to control the temp and lights with minimal costs. Thanks for looking. Paul

Just saw this on the noon news: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/12/video-shows-giant-chinese-shark-tank-exploding/ If the ABC video above doesn't work, try this one: http://www.itn.co.uk/World/64755/shark-filled-aquarium-explodes-in-chinese-shopping-centre

Am I just not looking in the right place? I can’t seem to find a replacement impeller for an older Koralia K1 powerhead. Anyone know where I could find one?

PREFACE I currently collect my skimmate in a one gallon fruit juice container that sits in a cut-down five gallon salt bucket that contains a float switch to kill the skimmer if the fruit juice container overflows. Functional, but big and ugly. I looked into purchasing a commercial...
