I was on another site and someone posted up this link to inexpensive SE and DE MH bulbs. I am a T5 user and know nothing about the quality of these bulbs, just that they seem awfully inexpensive. If I did use them, I’d probably check this place out simply because of price. Does anyone have...

Not sure if anyone else is a feeder of the little hummers, but they have returned. Was sitting out on my side porch and one came in looking for the feeders. They were not up yet and the little guy went over to the flowering mountain laurel to satisfy his nectar needs. I now have the feeders up...

With two recent posts on flatworms and one on red bugs, I have been overly vigilant in searching the tank for these little creatures. So very late last night I turn on the blue LEDs and the tank is covered with hundreds of very small white little spots….covering the glass and rocks. Didn’t...

So I’m in the kitchen with my wife this morning and I hear that tell-tale sound of water overflowing…we had a power outage…only lasted about five minutes. I had redirected the Locline to add flow to certain areas of the tank, bringing it pretty deep into the tank. So with the power outage, and...

Light brown/tan clove polyps. Looks like flowing hair in the currents of the tank. Free! Here’s a picture of the colony…I’ll pick off a clump if you’re interested.

I picked up a Green Bubble tip from a local NJRC member a couple months ago (one street away from me)…thanks Bill. Anyway, I feed the little bugger whenever I thought about it…maybe once a month or so. So about a week or two ago I thought it split…still relatively small, but now two small...

I had picked up bubble algae a couple months ago from frags I had picked up (no names mentioned), and was then very vigilant in plucking these emerald gems out of the tank every time I say them. About 2-3 weeks ago I thought I had them beat. Today I look in the tank and see this beast sticking...

I have a Reefkeeper 2 and the NEW Koralia Evolution 1400 powerheads. Should I bother using the wavemaker function on the RK2? Does it offer a benefit to the tank? And by the way, it is a 90 gallon tank, five feet long. If yes, what program would you recommend?

Is anyone aware of a recipe for making garlic laced nori? That is, if you buy Asian market nori, is there a way of infusing it with garlic? And I would prefer a homemade recipe over telling me to squirt Kent Garlic Xtreme (Or some other brand), on the Nori.

Very nice looking maroon clown for sale. About an inch and a half long. All proceeds go to the club. I’m offering this beautiful fish for $25. Again, all funds go to the club…you can even pay using paypal right to njreefers@paypal.com, or cash when you pick it up. Using my point-and-shoot...

In anticipation of finally getting around to building the canopy for the tank, I had to replace the nice purple cooling fan that was purchased at WalMart. It would not fit under the planned new canopy and was rather noisy. Here’s a mug shot of the purple fan: I had five old…really old...

I need another 30 and maybe 55 gallon drum and so I searched our site for that guy in Milltown. I’m guessing because the For Sale forum disappeared that all searchable stuff in that forum went by-by as well. I can’t find that guys email. Would anyone happen to have it? Thanks.

Just picked up a new Koralia Evolution 1400. The motor assembly is noticeably smaller while the magnetic mound now has a rubber shock-absorbing portion that adds a half inch or so. Also claim slightly more flow while using less juice. I definitely like the smaller profile. Here’s a picture of...

I’m in need of advice of adding more clowns to my tank. I have a 90 gallon, five foot long tank that currently houses an interracial clown couple. I have a black clown (after Hawkeye’s discussion, I’m willing to bet this is an Ocellaris). paired with a funky orange mis-bar (another Ocellaris?)...

I hooked up my little netbook to our TV through the VGA port. When I unhooked it, the netbook screen now looks like it is being stretched from left to right….as if it took on the aspect of the TV. I’ve turned the computer on and off and still the same. How do I get back my aspect? Thanks

Thank you Phil and Pete for the extremely generous donations of corals to this month’s meeting. I know you’ve hit a little bump in the road of life, but when you are ready to set up another tank, please stop in and certainly take back the two pieces I was fortunate enough to win today, and pick...

I need to drill a hole in an existing sump. I’m installing an external pump for the skimmer and I need a hole in a vertical piece of glass. No problem with pulling the water out of that section of the sump to drill. The issue is keeping the bit wet while I drill. Has anyone done this, and what...

OK, so I’ve inherited this 90 gallon tank with a 40 gallon sump and the Reefkeeper Lite has been maintaining temperature for about seven months…before I inherited the tank. So I’m scratching my head why I need to replace 2+ gallons a day in evaporation and why some on the corals aren’t looking...

I made one of these a while ago and was recently at a fellow reefers house and noticed his jury-rigged connection of his MAG pump to a hose to do water changes. So I told him I’d make him one. This simple DIY takes two parts and costs about $2.50 and it allows you to connect a regular hose to...
