    RO water issue

    Hey Brandon - AWI sells DI bypasses that can easily be added. I was glad to see your thread as I have not been following my TDS counts very closely. Can someone share the acceptable range? I just measured mine and they showed as 175, so I would think 15 ppm would make me thrilled. Hmmm.

    Power Outage - FLOOD!

    Thank you for sharing the solution Paul. Good problem solving tenacity versus letting another flood take place next time around! Sorry to hear about the flood. I have always had my tanks stashed in basements. Is your tank sitting on a place where the water can be mopped? I dabble with putting a...

    Beach Cleanup May 15th Poll

    Thanks to Bob and the other NJRC team members who helped coordinate this and be the catalyst for this great event. We have a great time and was gratified to leave that small segment of the beach looking one heck of a lot better. It was good to see the crew out there and to meet Gonzapa, Hawkeye...

    How to Keep Your Aquarium Cool in the summer months

    Killing me with laughter Paul! Don't forget a large plastic bag to hide the cans and breath mints. To the wife calling from the other room - "I'm almost done cleaning the tank honey and I will be right in to work on those dishes!" Little does she know I do little cleaning aside for a few swipes...

    Nikon D40 Plainsboro NJ

    Hi Joe - I am still deliberating on things, so if you get other interest, certainly proceed with them. I did not want to leave this hanging. Thx

    Nikon D40 Plainsboro NJ

    Thanks Phyl! that helps to start. I see there are many, many lenses and I will need to educate myself with some research. In fact, I see there are forums out there for Nikon lense discussion. :o I'm sure I will need a good macro lense for tank shots and a zoom lense. Would these cover the needs...

    Back wall Aquascaping

    Dave - I agree, this is great idea. It's look's amazing in the water and I like those shelves. It beats making a bracket out of pvc and stacking small rocks because of the space saving feature. I want to do this this someday and look forward to saving your detail instructions as a favorite

    Nikon D40 Plainsboro NJ

    I have some interest, but need to speak with the Mrs. tonight Question - I'm not camera savy at all. Having read a review quickly, I see this model is manual focus. This could be a change for me, being totally novice to non auto-focus photogrpahy. Is this correct for this camera and if so, how...

    Opinion – Wavemaker function on Reefkeeper 2

    One of note about the evolution, although I know it goes astray from the thread topic some. I have also noticed the evolution impeller get's stalled a lot easier then the older models. It seems there is more 'play' in the channel where the impeller sits and more likihood of failure to spin...

    Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico

    Not to pour salt on the wound, but according to the radio today, the extent of the rate and the liability has been underestimated. They confirmed 200,000 per day according to this report. If this does not spur minds to place more effort and legislators to be more investment minded in alternate...

    Filter socks source

    Anyone have a good source for filter socks by the dozen? I need them for my returns so they need to be sized for 1 1/4 PVC I know there was a group buy on these recently. Unfortunately I missed the bus on that one. Thanks

    BoontonBob...

    Thanks Guys! The b-day was capped off nicely with one of my favorite meals....King crab legs. I did work a long day...such is how it goes this time of year in the business I am in. Another bonus was that I linked up with IHOP to buy his pair of small GSM clowns, something I have always wanted...

    Bubble Algae Beast

    LOL on the martini glass shots! You guys are going to get me in trouble here at work. I had a bad case that was starting to taking over and I just kept hammering away with phosban, some siphoning as Bob (magic) pointed out and it started whiting out and eventually dissappeared altogther. Whew.

    What is your Favorite Foods

    70% Rod's food - Nori and the general seafood mix. The fish go nuts over it and it goes a long way. Great for the RBTA as well. I soak it and drain it to remove phosphate 30% formula 4 flakes, alternating between green and standard I heard somewhere (I think a Macna speaker) say it is not good...

    F.S. Maroon Clown Pair (sold) & Blue Green Chromis Brick, NJ 08724

    Re: F.S. Maroon Clown Pair & Blue Green Chromis Brick, NJ 08724 Hey Paul - what's been going on? I will never forget that bang up work you and MikeM did for me a couple years back. If it were not for that sink I would have forced out a while ago, since I have a bad back at the moment, I am...

    FS: Eshopps corner frag rack & WC Maroon Clown - 07006

    Hey - I'll take that frag rack. I recall you are pretty close to me in Boonton? I am tempted to take that Maroon off you hands as well, but uncertain since I have a clown to catch in an anenome. I am greatly limited by a bad back or I would be to happy work on that stand with you. Pm with your...

    Great Barrier Reef Oil Spill.

    It's heartbreaking isn't it? I still refuse to buy Exxon products and will do so indefinitely. Unfortunately, it is not as easy to boycott an energy company aside from refusing to buy Cosco stock. ...and then there's this quote from the Austrialian marine biologist below... I guess this is...

    yet another threat to our hobby

    Re: yet another threat to our hobby/April 12 deadline Good points Phil. I agree that there has to be better way to manage this and we should join petitions to place on hold on this. Hopefully this is making it's way around to the experts like to help testify for the good being done. Do we have...
