    ds4x4's Perfecto 220g Build

    That's either one heck of a lot of actinic supplementation in that video or a VERY VERY dim MH bulb. The whole tank looks bright no matter where the bulb is. Now a 40g breeder may not be enough to notice illumination differences, but I'd think that on a 120 (4' let alone a 6' 220) even with the...

    some info on sending corals to CA

    Heat packs are 24hr at best. In this weather you run a risk with the coral getting cold not to mention being without O2 for 2 days. You could try priority, but be prepared to take a loss if it doesn't work. In warmer weather packing it with O2 might be of some help. Again for Zoas that probably...

    Best pricing on tanks?

    Check with AO, Red Sand & Ocean Gallery II. Hopefully one of them can give you a good price.

    some info on sending corals to CA

    If 99% of the corals in the hobby COME FROM Cali, why oh why would you be shipping them back?! ;) I've always seen heat packs wrapped in newspaper to distribute the heat more evenly and taped to the top of the box, with a buffer of paper or stuffing between them and the coral bags. To Cali you...

    There's a new store coming RIGHT NEAR YOU!

    Unfortunately those stores are usually in prime locations with high rent, so I doubt they would make suitable space. Off the beaten path is ok as long as it isn't difficult to find or get to. Take a look at the Hidden Reef... back bumbleflock road in the middle of Nowheresville, PA. You get HUGE...

    Looks great, Nick. I love that all the wires are pinned down. Ours looks like a ball of spaghetti!

    November Monthly Meeting; Sunday the 23rd Whiting, NJ

    Some sort of covered dish/light snack or beverages is usually very helpful. Thanks! Looking forward to "meeting" you.

    There's a new store coming RIGHT NEAR YOU!

    I think Jackson is too far off of any major artery (though I wouldn't mind for personal reasons). It is too easy to get lost around here for the "out of towners".

    There's a new store coming RIGHT NEAR YOU!

    My guess is that after Tuesday things will begin to recover. Regardless of the outcome. I think the majority of the reaction right now is fear mongering.

    There's a new store coming RIGHT NEAR YOU!

    LOL. Not me and the store will very likely support NJRC both through sponsorship as well as member discounts. I'm not crazy enough to open a retail fish store!

    VODKA dosing regimen- notes.

    What change specifically did you make, Merv?

    He?! Who said it was a HE?! LOL! Too far north as well.

    There's a new store coming RIGHT NEAR YOU!

    82 puts it close to Animal Kingdom (is that still the name of that store?) and AquaOceans... Not sure it is a show stopper, but a thought none the less!

    There's a new store coming RIGHT NEAR YOU!

    Lacey road also splits the difference nicely between Trop and the AC area, I'd think. Though a bit far for me.

    There's a new store coming RIGHT NEAR YOU!

    Trop is much further north and east of that. Mile marker 105 and another 5m east. A good 40m from the proposed vicinity. Good point though!

    Scott the newly certified diver snorkling today in the Poconos!

    Looks enough like Scott to me! It was great to see you guys on Saturday night. Too bad we didn't have more energy (and a flat screen TV for playing Rock Band on!!

    There's a new store coming RIGHT NEAR YOU!

    So where would that be? I've been approached by an entrepreneur who is looking to open a high end reef store in Ocean County and is trying to pin down the ideal spot. The location would be all that much better if it was within close proximity to the parkway (< 5mi) and between mile marker 72 and...
