    Seahorses

    Cool tank temps (74'ish, if I'm not mistaken) and a LOT of feeding (3x a day?) are required for Seahorses from what I've read. I don't have the where withall to keep them given their heavy feeding regimen.

    NJRC Holiday Party! December 13th 2008

    We'll be there... who else is going?

    WaveMaker made easy...

    What about putting 2 of the tunzes in one of the wave boxes on one side and one on the other? Could they be all controlled from the same place to allow greater wave?

    weird stringy stuff

    Corals tend to release that slime or filiments when they are stressed or feeding. What else was going on in the tank while the coral was doing that? Did any others seem affected? What did your LPS (if you have any) look like? Were these new additions or corals that had been there?

    VHO troubleshooting

    I agree with Brian. Sounds like something not quite right in the wiring. I've seen this caused by the wire not being seated in the end cap properly.

    We can plan for the January meeting if there are enough people interested in it!

    NJRC 2008 Officers

    Pfft! Rich, you were a very active member of the board when your work allowed. We were happy to have you on board and miss you terribly already! You even did a great job at disguising exactly how much you hated note-taking! Thanks again for your service to the club and we look forward to a time...

    NJRC 2008 Officers

    Congratulations Hawkeye (AKA Phil519) for winning against such a worthy opponent. Thank you for volunteering to take on the secretary position. In this year of MACNA it will be a critical task to keep us focused and on task. Thanks to those who voiced their right to vote. We look forward to...

    photos taken

    Great first shot, Bob. The clam looks great. The only reason I know it was taken at an angle is because you told me, so Kudos for defying the laws of distortion! Maybe a little too much depth of field because the things AROUND the clam are a little too in focus. The following are my thoughts...

    Holy Moses!!!

    Whew! I'm glad the problem is "gone". Hopefully it doesn't "rear" its ugly head again! Happy Thanksgiving!

    The ribs melted in your mouth and that RUM cake was out of this world!

    Great meeting!

    Thanks to Andy & Jeanne for opening your beautiful home to us! We had a wonderful time and really appreciate it! It was great to meet so many new faces this month. Those of you who we just met today... get posting! I didn't get a chance to take many pictures today, so hopefully those of you...

    Majano Anemone

    Or sooner, if possible. You DO NOT want to let that thing reproduce. You'll be miserable. I'd go so far as to pull the rock out to be sure you get it all.

    macro lens

    Bob, I don't think that the Macro/Zoom lens being offered there gives you the capabilities that you're looking for. You're better off, IMO with a dedicated, fixed focal length lens. While Sigma & Tamron make admirable lenses, that lens is not one I see touted as being "as good as Nikon". I'd...

    Camera suggestions??

    I think you meant a good hot looking coral, right? ;D

    November Monthly Meeting; Sunday the 23rd Whiting, NJ

    It is very helpful to the host & hostess of our monthly meetings for folks to bring a covered dish/appetizer to help cover the food/side dishes for the meeting. Anyone planning on bringing food should update your RSVP with any food items you plan on bringing so that others can plan accordingly...

    Need for Splash Guard on Power Compacts

    Yes, just slide the lexan/plexi into that groove (should be able to slide it in from one end). I also feel that if it has a channel for the guard that it is likely something they expect to be there. Hopefully the innards are designed to allow for enough airflow not to cause damage to the...

    OHHHHH. Well that's a horse of a different color.

    Extension tubes

    And if you're using a tripod to capture the image the loss of light is compensated by a longer shutter time. The only time that loss is signficant is when you're trying to capture fast moving fish, in which case I'd shoot without the tubes and crop the image.

    WaveMaker made easy...

    If you paid 103 online then 109 locally where you didn't have to wait (especially if you were able to get the extra couple of parts) sounds like a decent deal to me. No?
