    Gas Prices in Central NJ

    That interesting and goes to show how much of it is up to the individual stations, regardless of brand affiliation. The Exxons by us are all one price cash/credit. I heard that the gas Exxon is going to be separating themselves from the stations (no longer "franchising" them?).

    anyone doing a groupbuy on salt

    OGII had a sale on salt two weeks ago. We stocked up then. I know that The Hidden Reef is also having a sale (including salt) on the 22nd. If there's something specific that you want from Drs Foster & Smith you could offer to put in an order for the folks around you. When Dan the Man does this...

    Tank frustrations still

    Still looking at particulate in the water, huh? Hmmm. I'll read back through the thread tonight from start to finish (I'd hate to suggest something you've already done). I'll let you know if anything jumps out at me!

    Diatom Help

    Wow. Amazing that there is so much silica in the air. Thanks for the update. Do you worry that closing off the sump area of your stand is going to cause an increase in CO2 buildup?

    has anyone else tried this drastic measure

    I have replaced all of the water in our 600g system twice now. Both times have resulted in happier healthier corals. Once about 2 or so years ago and the most recent time we replaced our water was when we lost all of our SPS. We had one piece left. My efflo. It was struggling and it was starting...

    Devastated. 180 Gallon Custom Tank broke tonight. Before i could get sand in it.

    Feng is such a great guy, I'm sure he'll make everything right for you. I can't wait to see it back up and running.

    Just averted a fire!!

    Unfortunately they seem to fight the fight and because there is water involved somewhere under the tank... they deny any culpability.

    After the crash

    Oh. Sorry to hear you're going through it too. We've just put our first post-crash SPS frags back into the tank ourselves. Good luck rebuilding it. It works best if you can convince yourself that building it is half the fun

    November Monthly Meeting; Sunday the 23rd Whiting, NJ

    The "Turbinaria?" looks like a duncan. Thanks for posting up the photos, Andy! We'll also have some frogspawn and candy cane to raffle off. Anyone else who would like to donate corals to the raffle, feel free to post here! Should be a great meeting with building pillars and photo 101 all in...

    breeding your own copepods

    You can pour some snail shells in the back of your tank behind the rock. This should allow for a breeding ground that the mandarin can't get into to deplete. A piece of filter floss at the bottom of your fuge would also help create breeding ground. If you wanted to setup another tank for their...

    Digital Cameras

    Have you checked out the reviews at www.dpreview.com ? I'd check there to see what they had to say about the trio and go from there. You should also be able to find user opinions if yo look around enough.

    That's what I said! ;D And if you all go out and buy them yourselves, what will Santa bring you?! Empty wrappings?!

    Just averted a fire!!

    Looking at that Zilla sent shivers down my spine. I'd throw it away in a NY Minute, no questions asked. HERE it is referred to as the Coralife Zilla Powerstrip. Case closed.

    THANK YOU to those who ONLY sell CB Banggai Cardinals

    My conversations with WWOF lead me to believe that they would only be selling Captive Bred. I would be SHOCKED to find out to the contrary.

    My soon to be upgrade

    This should be used as an example to all newbies in the hobby! If someone who has been in the hobby as long as you can exhibit such restraint... so can they! Great way to lead by example!

    Local ....Clown breeding resources sought

    Understandable. I don't know of anyone in our community who is currently culturing.
