    Cutting off main bulkhead/Anyone have an 1.5" they can spare?

    Jim - one other thing. I realized I am not certain this is a 1.5" bulkhead on my oceanic single overflow 75. I do know that the threaded pipe coming out the bottom is a 1/5" male end. The hole is certainly bigger. I will call a supplier or two over lunch to see if I can confirm what I need. It's...

    Cutting off main bulkhead/Anyone have an 1.5" they can spare?

    Great Jim - Thanks. Pls let me know and I would love to take a ride over for it. I ended up determining that it would be clearly better to replace the bulkhead. I am pretty certain cutting it off it out of the question. There is just not enough room to work a saw under there. I was going to...

    Cutting off main bulkhead/Anyone have an 1.5" they can spare?

    Hi- I am cutting off my bulkhead and am going to try to thread a connector to it. I am not feeling to good about this, as I know how funny it can get hacking off a threaded pipe and trying to reconnect another. Anyone have any tips here? I am using a mini hacksaw as the area underneath is very...

    Plumbing my 150

    Hey there E. from another Morris guy (Boonton of course). It seems like everyone up here is up their eyeballs in either childcare (like myself) or have LONG commutes (like myself) :-\I don't think I can pinpoint the answer either, I wouldn't call myself an expert though. Have you spoke with...

    NJRC Members Free. (Hamilton NJ Mercer County)

    Re: NJRC Members Free. Hey There Blktang - Very cool for you to offer some free items, but wanted to point out one thing. Just in case you are not aware, I have learned that keeping less then 6 or 7 chromis is risky. They seem to get very territorial and started dominating (more like...

    i want to get a colorful angel.

    Look into these: Japanese Swallowtail Angels and others in this family. I am looking to buy at least one at some point in the near future. I hear they are reefsafe and peaceful. I just found out that some pygmies are not peaceful at all. I have a friend who has had a Queen Angel in a mixed for...

    Kole Tang's not eating/catching an angel

    As an update, the Kole is still going strong. The only time I ever saw him eat was when he gobbled up some dung from the angel. :P I think he must be nibbling something as his stomach does not look as sunk in. This stupid angel is still harassing him, so I have taken him for a trip to the LFS...

    Any experiences with a flameback angel in a reef???

    I know Elmwood Park some...your about 20-25 minutes away. On your link - Yep....that is also called an Eblei Angel. I have had him for about five months, since I adopted him with the tank. I only have a few button polyps, and small amount of zoas among some live rock I bought, and a couple...

    Kole Tang's not eating/catching an angel

    Hey everyone - No, he hasn't eaten a thing yet that I can see. (4.5 days) I keep loaded up the green strip food in the clips, but I think the angel has been feasting on it exclusively. I have also gone heavier on the flake food, but he's not interested in that either.I tried to call a friend to...

    Any experiences with a flameback angel in a reef???

    I had one in a reef with leathers, xenia, hammer and a candy cane for a couple years with no problems. I have seen them in several other mixed reefs as well. He eventually went to a tank with SPS and zoos and did well. They seem to be one that is not as likely to be problematic, like flame...

    Kole Tang's not eating/catching an angel

    Thanks guys - I will give it some time. To be honest he is doing alright, just a little funny, but to me that's enough to be careful. I also noticed that his stomach is already sunk in pretty badly after a one day. I wish I had seen that at the shop, although I only had to hint that I was...

    what to feed an eel?

    I used to use a feeding tool which is a long tube with a T at the end with a long skewer used within to hold the silversides. This prevented the other fish from eating the silversides It was cool seeing them pouce on those silversides. Then I got into reef type of tanks, which aren't good with...

    Hi - I made a stop by a shop and picked up a very nice Kole Tang, along with a smaller yellow the night before last, but unfortunately he is not looking to interested in eating a thing. I've been using J. Sprung's red and green sheets, along with a green flake food. I also have/ a bunch of hair...

    March 2008 meeting - Thanks

    Mike and Dawn - thank you so much for having me yesterday. I'm sorry I missed the first chunk of the meeting, but I glad I caught up with you Mike towards the end. I was really blown away by the tank and set up! Thanks Bob

    Opinions on new product - 1" SQWD

    I'm right with you there Dave. In fact, I'm leaning towards doing both for some cross current action, since the SQWD uses noooo electricity. I am thinking about ordering both in the next group buy if Prem Aquatics picks up the SQWD product The only with the mod. device is that it will look...

    Anyone have a sea hare they want to part with for Sat?

    Good points there Sub Yes, I do use RO/DI with new cartridges across the board, although I haven't check it out. Don't have a TDS yet. I was running only RO for a while when I didn't have the DI cart. yet I do have work to do to reduce the nutrients. I've been 'riding things out' until I can get...

    Need 2 Host

    We can have it my house as well, although my simple reef is very immature. Next time around might better, but I thought I would put it out there. I do have the room and a nice new barbacue courtesy of AM EX!
