    Little help identifying these guys

    You got a 2 parter there. They secure their butts down onto a surface and, when threatened, they drop it off, like a lizards tail. That bit on the left is his disconnected arse. They're pretty cool as cleaners, they're nocturnal, and are just pretty interesting. They climb to the top of the...

    Dr. Tim’s

    I know Petco Brick sells Special Blend. Guessing the Howell and TR stores would probably carry it as well. I also have half a bottle if you need it (no Dr Tims though)

    I can get a new ApexEL for $400, talk me out of it

    I have 2 temp probes through 2 temp controllers each with a single heater hooked up with all set to 80F max (sorta quad protection). I have 3 Hydra 26s on programming, and 4 T5s on timers. My ATO runs through my kalk stirrer, which is adjusted monthly based on top off. It also beeps like a...

    WTB General Tank Equipment

    Pretty sure I have a 29g high, if you can use it as a sump you can have it for the NJRC club member cost of free. Think it still may have the Aqueon stickers on it as it was never used.

    Varios 2

    If Hockeynut doesn't take it I will. Need a return for a new nano build. Should learn to ask what else you're planning to sell every time we meet :)

    Heads up - 60g? cube

    Just looked at my LetGo app. Someone in North Arlington just posted what looks like a nice 40? 60? gLlon rimless cube with stand and sump for $250. If I were closer would check it out myself. Do a letgo search for ‘aquarium’ and it comes up.

    LIgHt choices

    Seriously, I'm really beginning to think that lights are lights. Folks are getting as much growth, it seems, from decent black boxes as they are from higher end brands. I was running 3 Hydra AI 26HDs over my 120. Things were going well. I added a hybrid T5 fixture for a total of $1000 hanging...

    LIgHt choices

    I have a minimag LED flashlight, its pretty focused. I spend the day walking around the tank illuminating each coral for 20-30 minutes at a time. Arms are tired and growth sucks, but I have lost 15 pounds.

    WTB Aquatic Life 61" Hybrid Fixture

    I've got the 36" fixture over a 48" wide 18" tall tank. I've got 3 AI Hydra 28HDs in it. Its 12" off surface and the spread of just the T5s covers the sandbed bed nicely with minimal overflow of light. Ive got sps and montis within a few inches of the tank width and they're growing fine. If the...

    Looking for a 10g tank, preferably an AIO

    Marcus, I do have a 20 long and/or a 29 if it helps (standard tanks). I will let either go for a tap dance while playing a kazoo, which is probably much more complex than it sounds, and I'm sure it would sound terrible.

    Feather Duster... I hope?

    No, they're pretty chill. You may find clusters of 2-3 in a few places, in an SPS tank with dosing some can grow a bit (like half the diameter of a pencil), but they're by no means a pest in a display like xenia, yellow palys, gsp, etc...

    Feather Duster... I hope?

    Its a mini feather duster. If you have one you'll have a few soon. Harmless and pretty cool. Sign of a healthy tank. Vermitads have a similar casing but it's tight to the rock and they don't present a fan, just long silky tendrils (and they usually do this at night or after you disturb the...

    Renewed hobby - large scale models

    SO, back tto the Space 1999 Eagle. As I am so out of practice with model building, I decided to use the 'new modern' techniques of auto spraypaint, makeup powder, spices (cinnamon does a great rust), and other crazy stuff to forge ahead. I serioiusly love how model building now encourages...

    Is dementia kicking in?

    Think that I renewed and no longer have member access. I dropped Marcus a line. Thanks for the info and link. And thanks to Groucho for the tag line I think of whenever I re-up a club or membership.

    Is dementia kicking in?

    I thought the meet on Saturday was front and center, I think I recall seeing the post with donations, things people were bringing, etc... I can't find it, and I sort of need it for an address and such, and to update my donations to the NJRC members and coffers.

    Renewed hobby - large scale models

    Cool stuff. Always loved the Corsairs and will probably pick up one in the future. Probably loved them so much as I used to watch 'Black Sheep Squadron' when I was younger, a series that depicted the war in the Pacific in a 70's we're all having fun kinda way. Per tanks, one word... weathering...
