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.
Re-modelling, re-flooring.
Starting to break down multiple tanks.
Selling cheap and going to use $ to fund dream system.
Come by with some buckets and I'll help break down.
If they don't sell as systems, I'll break em down, clean em up, and sell as tanks and components.
TANK 1
SMALL FRAGGER /...
Ride it out, do a 10% water change a week (this is close to gospel). Don't worry about chasing parameters or GFO, or carbon (which decreases O2 levels), or chemicals like Chemipure or whatever. Just keep it simple, this is a normal phase, it looks like hell, it will clear up. And it will happen...
3 months is a puppy. Personally I probably wouldn't have more than 1 fish in it at this point while riding out the algae blooms, but thats me.
Over the next 7-8 months you're going to have brown stuff on the sand, red stuff on the sand and rocks, hair algae, bubble algae, maybe some aptasia, and...
Was going to offer some in Brick 08724, But Nikki beat me to it 5 mins down the road.
Still, some available in Brick if anyone else needs some, can pull out a softball sized chunk.
Now go get Apple TV and watch the Tom Hanks 'Greyhound' flick that was released yesterday.
And while you're at it, grab Disney+ and watch the Mandalorian.
Oh, and grab HBO for Watchmen (if you're a fan of the comics).
And grab Netflix for 'The Boys'.
%^$&, just buy all the channels and watch...
I know that people often do 'sand pockets'. I'm planning this on my next build.
Paint the bottom white or tan. Put a couple pounds of sand in and let it get blown around till it settles by will of the powerheads.
Combination of both worlds. You can monitor detritus, still get coraline growth...
Watch the height of the overflow box.
Make sure it's in the perfect position (and consider where the visible water line will be from outside the tank).
Only one shot to drill the correct height or you're screwed.
Ask me how I know...
Diana,

I keep telling my wife and kids how awsome I am and they don’t seem to buy it.
A medium CPR would be perfect, but I’d still like to either buy it or perhaps I can trade some equipment and a nice frag for it.
Like Jekyll and Hyde foaming at the mouth and twisting about.
And though its in my home region (Newark/Harrison/Kearny), which is occasionally visited, it wont fit in the car, and the Jeep (with a top speed of 55mph) would take forever to get from Brick to there and back (if I'd trust it to go...
INCREDIBLY NICE GESTURE, it's what the club needs and what it needs to build on.
Free or considerably discounted prices, reasonable trades, lending a hand, and cultivating friendships.
A recent example (aside from this one): I just got a bunch of snails from Paulie a couple weeks back for $0. I...
