    Looking to fill refugium - Jersey City & around

    Macroalgae shouldn't be a main concern right now, and as long as you're only running with soft corals you should be OK. The sump/fuge is most useful at the moment by providing you with a bit of extra water volume, though dropping in some snails and some chaeto wouldn't hurt, as long as you have...

    Spaghetti / Hair Worm

    They are some of the coolest animals. Got to see mine on rare occasions and was fascinated by it.

    LED lighting guide 2017

    Trio posted a link from BRS in another thread regarding LED lighting and, as I've been doing a ton of research of late on LEDs, I decided to compile all the information I've collected from various sources (including some new info from the posted vid) and chart it all up. The chart below gives...

    Marine Snow

    Just a feeding FYI. With a small tank heavy on inverts, not to mention a recent tube worm addition, I needed something based on phyto that didn't require me raising anything myself. Picked up Two Little Fishes Marine Snow...

    Disney trip

    We went last year for a few days. We decided to take a look at the timeshares both to satisfy curiosity and get some of the free 'lightning passes' or whatever they call them. It took about an hour. They picked us up, gave us breakfast, did a small tour, saw some beautiful properties, and...

    Protein skimmer died; funds very low. Help?

    Going to be much easier addressing the pump instead of the whole skimmer. What model skimmer? Did you open and clean the pump and magnet chamber? What size pump is it? Is the skimmer still under warranty? Have you called the company and explained your situation?

    Thanks all. Trio, the DIY became a PIA. Found a used IM ghost skimmer for $60 and been running it quite successfully.

    Annenome help

    Agree with above. Keep in mind most generic LFS do not have full flow in their tanks. Also, nems should be kept in well established tanks, but, regardless, in the past I've turned off my powerheads for a night. It gives the nem a chance to attach somewhere. When its found a place, start the...

    Need advice

    Yep, give it a day or two, they're getting used to their new environment and all the stressors involved. They're not going to starve in a day or two. If they're not eating by Monday you might want to try soaking the food in garlic oil, but I'm guessing they'll be good to go by tomorrow. I...
