Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I’m bach’ing it while my wife is on a girl’s mini vacation out on the end of Long Island for a couple days….So I get to make what I want to eat….and I felt like Sausage Ziti.
Now if you're a pasta person, you’ve noticed that this pasta is not ziti, but is penne. The store didn’t have...
If you don't mind used, check out SouthJersey Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, etc. Also don't forget Lowe's or Home Depot....they sell them as well. And if you belong to a club....Sam's, BJ's, and Costco's.
If you can do it, strongly agree with the window air conditioner option. We prefer fresh air over AC unless it's brutal. So I simply keep the windows open in the house and close the fish room and turn on the air in there.
You can easily pick up a 5000 btu for around $150.
Here's A little club history....and yes, suitcasing has happened at NJRC swaps.
In 2008 we had a good sized frag swap in Secaucus....loads of vendors, speakers and a luncheon included. It was more or less our dry run before hosting MACNA in 2009. With the swap going on, a member came rolling...
Definitely was happening! An item I had purchased, the President/Owner was at RAP with a vendor badge (of not his company), roaming the isles drumming up business. And don't ask, I'm not going to out him.
This appears to be electro-chemical flocculation. It involves actual particles, including bacteria, that get charged and then flocculate, either floating, sinking or attaching to other stuff....like calcium carbonate. I'm familiar with chemical flocculants, (and I know API has some product...
Yes, we had some great frag swaps.....even the BIG ONE (MACNA) in Atlantic City in 2009. The major issue is everyone wants them, but nobody wants to work them. It's all Yes, Yes, Yes until you ask for folks to help.
Wait! @Mark_C 's comment, "a line thats in the tank"
Is this dosing line in the tank....that is submerged in water? If so, easy fix....dosing line needs to be above the waterline, and not submerged.
I'm not sure if this is "Randy the Chemist's" reason, but Lugol's is an Iodine salt....containing potassium. Elemental iodine is not a salt....just reactive iodine in some stabilizing solution....likely glycerin. Glycerin would be metabolized as a carbon source.
Misery likes company...............................I meant to say Happy Father's Day.
Now put a smile on that face and tell them you love the rainbow argyle socks they just gave you! :oops:
I'm just the messenger on this....and this is what I was told years ago:
The white/light tan ones don't eat corals. However, the dark colored ones are the coral eaters.
Up until my tank transfer, I always had white/light tan ones and never had a problem.
All is not lost....you have a couple options:
1. They sell casement window air conditioners. Just need to make sure it fits and might need to make filler strips. Casement needs to be removed.
2. Assuming the width is wide enough, you can mount a "conventional" window unit in a casement...
Pick up a room air conditioner...they are relatively inexpensive...ca $150. On the marginal days where I don't want to do the whole house, that's what I do. Setting it at 73-74 keeps the tank cool.
First off, glad to see Doug is doing fine.
Here's what I'd do.....verify it's a power supply problem . I assume you have a second LED 90....use that power supply to verify that's the problem.
I'd now spec a new power supply from an electronics supplier....they are a fraction of the price of...
