Jackson Used 65 gallon undrilled tank (36" wide, 18" front to back, 24" deep) with cheep stand and Eheim Canister filter, HOB power filter, and Reef Octopus BH-2000 HOB protein skimmer. Stand and tank are not suitable for drilling or a sump. I used for 3 years for a softie tank. Includes lights...

My 4 bulb t5 fixture broke. Does anyone have a 2 or 4 bulb T5 fixture I could use for a short while while I decide on (and save up for) its replacement? I live in Jackson.

I have an artificial arch rock with about 30 orange and green bubble tip anemone clones on it. The arch has run out of space for corals to spread and needs to be thinned. The arch is about 20 inches long, 10 inches wide and 10 inches deep, so a container larger than this would be needed for...

I was planning on making a canopy for my aquarium, which has a black rim. The idea was both to hide the rim but to block light spill and glare from the lights above the tank. Plus the lights could be attached and possibly rotated away from the aquarium for access. However, I have been toying...

I just started using filter socks. I was surprised at how fast it clogged. How many filter socks do you have? How often do you change them out? Do you have or prefer mesh socks? Do you have special feeding habits to keep food from going directly to the skimmer?

Well its time to start a new tale of the tank. This tank will be my first saltwater aquarium that utilizes a sump, not hang on equipment. I am starting with a 90 Gallon Aqueon reef ready aquarium. How I arrived at this tank size is kind of funny. I have been eying the lover level slab in...

I went to Jenkinson's Aquarium today, specifically to check out the bubble tip anemone tank (with goby, pistol shrimp and clownfish). Cora, one of the aquarists, showed me some of the details of the tank such as the lighting (Orbit marine) as well as showing me the coral downstairs in the...

While at the ACC bash, I noticed the Red Sea Reefer 500 Return pump was on a pulse or wave mode. I thought it was a little noisy. On a 2 drain overflow system, getting the primary drain to almost match the return pump appears to be the key to keeping a syphon and hence a silent drain system. In...

Since I am now without a car, I was hoping I might be able to hitch a ride to ACC Saturday at whatever time is convenient.

There are 2 advantages of using a Durso standpipe for the overflow. It is the cheapest as it only requires one bulkhead and drain line, and it can be used with a siphon from the tank to the overflow box in applications where a new bulkhead is not possible or warranted. Plus, you can use it on...

HERBIE OVERFLOW If you employ a Herbie overflow in your plumbing, could you add a photo, if practical, and your thought on it in your set up, such as problems, tips, or suggestions. I am trying to learn more about them and our NJRC members may as well. In a reef tank, a Herbie overflow is...

I have seen the cuttlefish often at Jenkinson's Aquarium in Point Pleasant. They are usually hiding in the sand and are colored like the sand. Today, two were displaying the light and dark spots rippling along their bodies. Unfortunately, the upstairs shallow coral tank now appears to be...

The dwarf angelfish's size lends itself to aquariums. They generally get ut to 1.2 to 6 inches. They are of the Centropyge genus. Some like the flameback, flame, lemonpeal, bicolor, coral beauty and Potter's angelfish are fairly well known. others like the peppermint are very rare, especially if...

Atlantic City Aquarium was a nice stop between high school wrestling rounds in Atlantic City. They didn't have the Fu Man Chu lionfish or the Peacock Mantis Shrimp on display - Those tank were taken down. The sea horses have been moved to a much nicer display. I also don't recall the rockfish...

I recently went to Adventure Aquarium with my grandson. I like it because it has its own unique flavor. We all know how hard it is to keep aquarium running well, so it was great to the great condition the reef tanks were in. I am dying to go behind the scenes sometime, but I have yet to see...

American Lobster (Homarus americanus) American Lobsters are found from New Jersey to Labrador with Maine being most known for them. Lobsters used to be very numerous. They were so plentiful that they were used as fertilizer. Now they are harvested to be sustainable. In Main, a lobster has...

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a The state gem in Hawaii is the black coral recently discussed in a previous reef fact. The state fish in Hawaii is the Humuhumunukunukuapua’a, humuhumu for short. This literally means a little trigger fish with a snout (or snorts) like a pig (depending on your source...
