    Do you have a Herbie Overflow? Poll, link, and photo request

    I was wondering how yours works as I didn't see the screen over the low outlet. I guess I can inspect it in a few weeks. Did you use a ball valve?

    Do you have a durso Standpipe overflow? Poll, link, and photo request

    There are 2 advantages of using a Durso standpipe for the overflow. It is the cheapest as it only requires one bulkhead and drain line, and it can be used with a siphon from the tank to the overflow box in applications where a new bulkhead is not possible or warranted. Plus, you can use it on...

    DTC Build - Mark Shelly

    Well, I still have my drink tank aquarium. It just isn't doing well. First, the water surface level is high enough to get salt creep on the corners and cover. I loose a 1/2" of water a day.

    PVC plumbing advice please

    I thought the link below did explain it well though, like Burrito and others said: 1. The drain pipes inside the overflow that insert into the water side of the bulkhead can be left unglued as you can remove them for cleaning the overflow box if desired. Or the pipes can be glued together to...

    Cuttlefish displaying at Jenkinson's Aquarium.

    The intent of the post was to let members know of a unique opportunity to see the displaying cuttlefish, not to bash Jenkinson's. The original reef tank was not in a good location as far as maintenance. It had some great specimens and was my favorite; everyone else looked at it for a few...

    Cuttlefish displaying at Jenkinson's Aquarium.

    I have seen the cuttlefish often at Jenkinson's Aquarium in Point Pleasant. They are usually hiding in the sand and are colored like the sand. Today, two were displaying the light and dark spots rippling along their bodies. Unfortunately, the upstairs shallow coral tank now appears to be...

Some like the flameback, flame, lemonpeal, bicolor, coral beauty and Potter's angelfish are fairly well known. others like the peppermint are very rare, especially if...

    Atlantic City Aquarium was a nice stop between high school wrestling rounds in Atlantic City. They didn't have the Fu Man Chu lionfish or the Peacock Mantis Shrimp on display - Those tank were taken down. The sea horses have been moved to a much nicer display. I also don't recall the rockfish...
