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.
When you are measuring salinity of new water, is it heated up to tank temperature? If it's still cold, you'll see a higher salinity number compared to when you heat it up to tank temperature.
After switching out my ATO from an AquaHub to a JBJ, the reed switch on this float switch has a hair trigger. That is, it runs about every ten minutes for maybe 10 to 15 seconds. It was too frequently and running for too short a time. I thought of how to trick the ATO by slowing the...
I think it was Drs. Foster and Smith that had you identify three of six pictures that had a particular look. As example, one was pick the three pictures that show rivers....another was pick three store fronts.
Is there something we can do about all the spam we're getting. It seems like it's gotten a whole lot worse. Can we use captcha, or ask the question, "Are you a Robot," or have a couple day waiting period after signing up before you can make your first post. There's got to be something.
The original recommended dose was 150 mg / 30 liters. This calculates out to 18.9 mg / gallon. Most posts I've seen, folks have simply rounded this out to 20 mg / gallon. If that 120 is the estimation of your total volume, your dose is a little light. If that 120 is the size of the tank...
You really don't want to cut baffles using a jig saw. You really can't get straight and square cuts using one. I have a 12 inch chop saw with a carbide blade that will cut acrylic. Also have an 8 inch table saw but the blade is not carbide. Not sure how well that would cut acrylic. I...
Simply supply and demand....first rule of basic economics.
A whole lot of folks have ordered this over on R2R and it was mentioned the price was going up. These folks are just taking advantage.
With @art13 being the first NJRC member to use Fluconazole to treat Bryopsis, I just bit the bullet and placed my order for 20 pills. I thought I had hair algae, but some have said, because the hair appears to be on branches, that it's a variety of bryopsis. We'll find out!
Strongly agree with Mark.....fix the problem.
Start by a thorough cleaning of the pump. If that doesn't work, buy a new pump and you virtually have a new skimmer. It should only be a couple more bucks over that 30 you have now.
This hobby isn't cheap....consider a part time job to support...
What are the volts and amps on that wall wart? I have a wall wart that was in a bag of stuff I picked up from @Mark_C and it didn't go to anything I had. Assuming Mark_C doesn't need it back, if it works for you, it's yours. This one is 12V DC, 0.5 Amps. Here's a picture showing the...
RJ, that would be fantastic....and save me a trip. If you can pay him the $120 cash, I'll pay you back when you get here.....or if Mark's agreeable I could PayPal.
Mark, it looks like I'm not going to the monthly meeting so I'll have to make arrangements to come to you for the MP. Let me know what works for you. Hope you're feeling better.
