    MACNA XIX: Who is Going?

    You should have packed the kids up and come on out, Francis! I'm sure they would have enjoyed the speakers and the exhibits! We'll have a margarita in your honor over the weekend! And a martini for Phil, and a yueingling for Sam and ...

    MACNA XIX: Who is Going?

    We'll be there around 2pm on Friday afternoon. I'm sure we'll see each other enough to figure out plans.

    We experienced something JUST like that. Especially with regard to the PC bulbs.

    when is the clam group buy?

    LOL on having to stop spending money! Good luck with that one. When you find the secret let me know. As for the clam GB, we got stalled in August due to them being out of commission, and hectic this month with PA happening. I think next month, with the cooler shipping weather, would make a...

    MACNA XIX: Who is Going?

    Do all NJRC members heading out have shirts? I think we have a small supply of NJRC shirts for sale in various sizes if you don't already have one to wear while you're out there. Let's make it known, gang!

    What to do with a BTA and clown fish

    BTAs are quite safe in a reef tank. The only problem would be if your tank doesn't have enough light or good parameters to support it, but you'll see the decline before anything bad happens. When they're unhappy they wander which invariably leads them to your in-tank pumps. We've had anemones...

    MACNA XIX: Who is Going?

    Re: Who is going to MACNA? I merged this into the other MACNA thread. There are quite a few of us going. Most of us will get there on Friday afternoon (or later), I think. Look for the loud crowd with the NJRC logos plastered all over them! See you there!

    My 30 gallon cube tank - help!

    Sorry to hear about your losses. Sounds like the tank's been through a pretty tough time. Hang in there, it can only get better, right? What kind of lighting are you using and when was the last time you changed bulbs? Have you done any massive water changes to get it back to a good water...

    OceanPure ViaAqua Salt

    Another question I have surrounds who the manufacturer is on this. You say it is ViaAqua, but I've also seen some people refer to it as a TAAM product. When I look to the TAAM website they have a salt, but it is listed as RealOcean. One of these brands is reported not to be using silicate as a...

    OceanPure ViaAqua Salt

    I stand WAY corrected. 200g bucket is $102! That's not a LITTLE more expensive... that's REDICULOUS!

    OceanPure ViaAqua Salt

    There are some users complaining of high PO4 readings from TMP... other than that the parms tested above look similar. Mynd, I'm surprised that you're getting a Mg reading in tank of over 1300 when you tested it at 1140... what do you suppose accounts for you having MORE Mg in the tank than in...

    Feeding a Blenny

    Formula 2, natural algae. They like to graze off of the rocks, so a bit of growth on the rocks would be a plus (for him)!

    Not necessarily. There's a point of diminishing return somewhere. Your mission, as you strive to recreate the reef, is to find out where that point is for you and your system. :D
