    Saw Sunny's tank

    Astounding. Now I need a bigger tank. My wife isn't going to let me go to Sunny's anymore.

    Red Sea Reefer 250

    I'm testing the water for a friend of mine. He's looking to sell his entire system RSR250 (60g). It's in pristine shape. Tank is 4 years old and his corals and fish look like an advertising display. Anyways, no pics as of yet. Just gauging interest. Red Sea Reefer 250 complete (including...

    September 30days Photos

    TIGS! Not planning to hijack this, but we should make this a monthly thing and have folks post a pic a day in a single thread. Trying to come up with a creative naming concept for a forum for your idea but, as I have a rare day off tomorrow, I've have had more than 4 generous servings of Nikka...

    Sand bed recommendations

    I'm currently in a tank blackout. Due to some high temps I lost a few corals. Temp back under control and survivors recovering well, but it left me with a nasty looking brown stringy algae that clumped all over the sandbed. So, as I have a shallow I vacuumed with the latest water change. Forgot...

    Starting new after move and question on setting up quarantine system

    Personally I never QT. I'm a believer that its stress that lowers the fish's immunity (just like people) and moving a fish from shop to a barren QT then into a new tank with tankmates is mega stress. Especially if you're treating them for diseases they may not have with hardcore chems along the...

    T-shirts (round 2)

    Hi Mark. Yep, any shirt shop will be able to print from a jpg or eps. I had set up the initial order like this: NJRC T-SHIRT ORDERS Then compiled a master list of: name/colors/sizes/ship/pick-up/paid/unpaid Once you get an order together if you want to send me the names and online IDs I can...

    T-shirts (round 2)

    Hi all. I've gotten a number of requests for Tshirts. I'm hesitant to do a large order again as last time I was short on the price and I still have half a dozen shirts on my desk that were never picked up. I'm also pretty tight on free time over the next few months. So, here's the options: 1...

    Sand bed recommendations

    I use the Caribsea Special Grade Reef Sand and am very happy with it. Started with approx. 2" bed but, as I have a pistol shrimp, bed ranges from .00000001" to 18 feet.

    Tank Temp Effect on SPS

    I've been snorkeling in Cuba in summer and dived in their 'winter' and coral was much the same, regardless of the 8-10 degree drop in temperature. With the entire ocean as a thermoregulation unit, even temperature fluctuations close to shore occur over weeks. The frags in my tank have (probably)...

    Doooomed! I warn ya! Doooomed!

    Joe, that yellow/green slimer I lost was the one we traded. Would love to get another piece once I get the temp level again. Thanks for the offer. Trio, did just that, opened the top to the ceiling fans and opened the bottom cabinet to a box fan. Working well. Figure once the temps outside drop...

    Photo of the month (Potm) August 2016

    Glad this came up. I have a few questions. 1) As I've held the title for a year, do I have to personally show up somewhere to pass the crown to someone else? 2) Is there a crown? 3) If so, why haven't I received it? 4) Now that I'm passing on this crown which may or may not exist, do I get to do...

    Reef safe silicone

    I've built 2 sumps with GE 100%. Works well. Keep in mind that it bonds great to glass, not good to plexi. I use plexi baffles. If doing same I would advise a large bead on the glass, ensuring there is adequate amount of silicone on both sides of the plexi baffle to 'lock' it in place. FYI, my...

    Doooomed! I warn ya! Doooomed!

    I started SPS a few months ago, and all was going fantastic. Over the past few days, I've been losing a few nice pieces that were doing great. Realized Thursday that my favorite piece, a 6" yellow slimer with 3 branches, was no more. A purple acropora, about 4" with 8-10 branches, was gone. My...

    Asterina and Harlequin

    Thought that sounded strange, but it seems there must be either some kind of astrina warning system or some kind of chemical the harlequin gives off. I put a harlequin in the tank last night and this morning the glass is covered with dozens of astrinas. Never saw that before.
