Here’s a crazy idea I was thinking about. Is this sound or am I nuts? I have a terrible humidity problem in my house. With the colder months, moisture condenses on the windows, with some windows actually showing signs of rot. For a couple years I ran a dehumidifier that needed daily...

If anyone else is a last minute procrastinator like I am, you have one more day to procrastinate before the Frag Swap registration prices go up. Click HERE for individual registration and HERE for family. See you all there on the 12th of November.

Vilma and Keith, thanks for your hospitality. Thank God there are a group of crazy people in this club who are willing to risk life and limb to go to a fish meeting in a snow blizzard! I hope all made it home safe. Great ocean photography, very nice tank and home and, the best chili. Very...

Having all the hardwood floors on the first floor sanded and polyurethaned (oil base), with the exception of the fish room. What’s the feeling about the vapors and effect on my tank? I can close the door to the fish room and maybe crack a window, weather permitting. Has anyone else...

I all of a sudden lost the use of a number of letter keys on my little Acer Netbook. I was going to order up another netbook, and was perusing Amazon, when I remembered fixing my kid’s Mac video screen by viewing a how-to video on YouTube (She had sat on her laptop and crack the screen into...

Darren and Kami, thank you for opening your house and allowing us to gawk at your beautify tank and house. Good food and conversation in a relaxed atmosphere. Good stuff. Thanks again

Grounding Probes came up in another thread and I’m going to be so bold as to open this can of worms on grounding probes. I don’t like them. The only thing they protect is you, and you’ll never know that you have a voltage leak until you see your fish dying. Not to mention that you’re...

With the new site, it seems like we have a bunch of new avitars. What’s your opinion of some of the new ones. Just to clarify, this is in fun….I don’t mean to be mean! If I am, slap me. :o I’ll hold back my opinion for the time being.

So what’s up will all these “guests” on our site? Is that number for real? Is anyone else sort of bugged by this number? As Jerry Seinfeld would say, “Who are these people?” The old site would typically only show a few guests. Is this all these tapatalk people tapping away?

EarthQuake I'm pretty sure we just had an earthquake....at about 1:50pm. The largest I've ever felt in NJ.

I’m working in my house this afternoon and I smell fire. I walk up the back of my yard where Kaplan has built McMansions (big houses on postage size lots), and one of these beauties is ablaze. Just started, and looks like it started in the garage. Fire company not there yet, but the cops have...

I’m bummed. Walked into the fish room and you could smell that telltale odor that someone decided to go carpet surfing. Sure enough, the female blue throat trigger made that leap. Of course, I’m the stupid fool who left the canopy off the tank. Now papa blue throat is all-alone! :'( I hate...

Free pine stand that will fit a tank with an 18 by 48 inch footprint. Needs a little tlc.

I’ve spent the entire day yesterday, and about an hour today, working on my screened in porch. (I wish someone would buy that 100 gallon tank so that I could finish by painting the floor) Just off my porch, I have a humming bird feeder. It is frequented every couple of minutes. The entire time I...

The following are recaptured posts from Google cache after our site was “lost” on or about June 1, 2011. I apologize if I did not fully restore them into original appearance, but I’m cursed with limited computer knowledge and didn’t want to spend multiple hours trying to make this picture...

It is an approximate 100 gallons and measures 48 inches wide, 18 ¼ inches deep, 29 ½ inches high and is ½ inch glass with a mirrored background. It has an offset overflow on the back wall. I’m including the stand and canopy, but please realize they are both in need of work. The stand, I only...

I don’t know what is going on with my fish wanting to commit suicide. I lost a Coral Beauty about a week ago, found “extra crispy” on the floor behind the tank. Today I walk into the fish room and there is my Starry Blenny about five feet from the tank, catching some air. I immediately picked up...

I made this fan bracket to fit three 80mm (ca 3 1/8 inches) computer fans. These are the common fans found on desktop computers. After making this bracket, I decided to go with a five fan unit, so I don’t need this one anymore. This bracket is made of ½ acrylic and is 17 inches long. You can see...

I really hate it when a fish dies, and it could have been avoided.  My Coral Beauty decided to go carpet surfing, probably by the two new fish I just added being very skitterish and scaring the CB.  When this pair of Blue Throat Triggers is spooked, they would bolt into the rocks like a bull in...

I’m trying to clean the fish shed and the first two things I came across are ten gallon tops and a 55 gallon screen top. These are free and as a bonus you may have as many raspberry bushes you can dig out, as well as an amaryllis plant (I’ll provide the shovel). The raspberries are a Fall...
