Eric, If you have the metrics (size, age, temperament, etc.) for the Desjardins and if the owner is willing to sell (vs. trade) it, please let me know. Bob

Anybody know where Reef Beauties is actually located? I see no location reference on their site. Their 15 Day arrive alive & survive Guarantee of most of their livestock items (except for those marked as needing experienced care) is certainly reasonable. Their quarantine procedures aren't very...

Thank you for their business (Reef Beauties: Saltwater Fish and Inverts Online). I hadn't heard of them before...

Yet more Reef Keeper Angst!

Greetings NJTaxMan, No harm done... I'm suggesting the following idea for you down-the-road after you've mastered your Phyto Reactor and successfully have it up and cooking. You could feed some of the reactor's output into a Copepod Reactor. The pods would love the live food, and excessive...

I'm interested in a chunk of your Blue Acro Frag. I'm a half hour away, and I'm pretty much readily available. Please PM me with your availability.

Ha! Good luck with your offer!

I don't think so... What do you estimate the odds are for a single tiny Rotifer and/or just a few copepods getting past your peristaltic dosing pump? I think the odds for either eventuality ever occurring are slim to none. If you actually do have an ultimate solution, then please proceed with...

Note: Twenty something years ago Craig Bingman (one of my reefer heroes) wrote an article in FAMA about building a phyto reactor that used tank water for the input feed. He was leaning toward using UV to sterilize incoming water from the tank, but decided it was too tricky to keep the UV bulb...

Nice DIY! I'd strongly recommend against using tank water to feed it - I think it will be just a matter of time before some tank critter gets in the culture and crashes it on you. I've been thinking of building a similar phyto reactor. But I'm going the mini-water change route - taking a...

Assuming you have access to a very large and very cold tank, how would you keep a fish alive for 500 years? https://www.npr.org/2022/07/31/1114807928/greenland-shark-longest-living-animal-caught-in-belize

Thank you for your post on a rather curious method that I hadn't previously heard of.

Mark, Do you have any recommendations for such a massage parlor? FWIW, there's a Happy Endings Massage Parlor directly adjacent to Sea Level Aquarium up on Route 46. Do they comply? Bob

If I get my replacements within the next 30 days, I'll be impressed. If I get my replacements within the next 60 days, I'll be happy. If I get my replacements within the next 90+ days, I'll be rather annoyed... Shouldn't we be compensated for their failure to meet our original expectations...

You may have lucked out by removing it when you did. Dead sea hares have been known to release toxins and take down a tank.

How's Ugly doing? If you're not too far south of me, put me on your re-home list when he/she/it has completed your intended mission... Lending it out inside the club (vs. re-homing) is a possible option. I had one many years back, but the first person I lent it to managed to kill it.

I've been happy with my Apex Optical water level sensors (V1s and maybe one or more V2s (for all I know)). I think redundancy and/or reality double-checking is essential when using them. For example, I have a 55-gallon drum which I use to collect and store my RODI water. I have four sensors...

Thanks for the input... I currently have two FMMs in use. I guess my real question is "Does my older 'Apex Lite' have enough memory in it to utilize these new sensors?" I can't run either the Trident testing hardware or the EB32 outlets on my Apex Lite. The latest Apex controller is needed...

I don't see where this is mentioned on the site yet, so here's the warning... I ordered my Hanna Magnesium Checker before they came out. As it turns out there have been issues with this Magnesium Checker. The common complaint has been that the test results are too high. (I have had the same...
