Re: APRIL Meeting: Sunday April 22nd in Washington, NJ Hi Brian and welcome to NJRC! We look forward to seeing you next weekend. We'll have membership applications with us at the meeting. See you there.

I also wonder if having the water bubbling around that foulness could actually leach stuff back into the water. How often does everyone clean that?

And salt and calcium and magnesium, strontium, ... the list goes on. But it isn't loaded down with 200ppm of phosphates and nitrates. There's more flow and circulation than you can recreate in a 2x4 box of water as well. The turnover the ... As much as we like to think that these are mini...

It isn't the fish (IME) that you need the clean water for. It is the corals. That's where the nitrates and the phosphates, even in nominal quantities cause you algae and poor coral health. Of course, that depends largely on the corals. Some are FAR more tolerant of sewer style water conditions...

I got my RO/DI off of ebay for 100$. It is still reading 0-1 TDS. Needless to say I love it. FilterDirect was the username.

Stock it with COOL fish. I love my banana eel. I also saw one of the coolest rabbitfish the other day in Bluestravlr's tank. White with blue and orange spots. Wish I could remember what it was called! A Bellus angel, preferably a mated pair of them or wantanabis. Color coordinating them...

Dean, there are a pile of us leaving South Plainfield at 9am. You're welcome to come along with us, but we're going to be arriving in time for setup at 10:00. Billy's coming from your area and there's plenty of room in the cars (6 of 10 seats filled for the 2 cars we've got going).

Thanks to SMCooler from RC for his frag donations! Brian picked up some real beauties from him. Thanks, Stan!

The kennel we used to use was 15$ a day, you may want to shop around. We used Allenwood Vetrinary clinic. They are wonderful there.

I could use a dose of photoshop... how about sharing that recipe :D

I haven't seen Billy online all day, but I'd be watching for his answer! Good luck. Let us know what you learn!

NJRC has digi available. 4 colors for 40$ ($35 for members). 2" frags, most will be multi-branch. German Blue, Purple, Green, Orange. Let me know if you'd like me to bring you a pack.

Announce your frag swaps/trades here!

You might check with any neighbors that you have that have dogs. My neighbor (moved) used to have a sitter come any time they went on vacation. I've never used one though, since my neighbor always took care of it.

We usually have someone come in 2-3 times during the week we're away to feed the eel (prawns) and we have them feed the tanks and hang nori while they're here. We do have an auto topoff that keeps the water level while we're away. We keep a local reefer's number handy for the care taker to make...

it probably has some other vile chemical in it anyway. Our guess was to toss it. I just hate doing that with 55g of water. Better safe than sorry though!

So mushrooms, zoos, frogspawn, and lobos are all fair game then?

Cyphastrea / Cyphastrea Ocellina?

So if a little sawdust ended up in say... 55g of freshly mixed saltwater would you toss it or use it?

Ouch, Greg. So sorry to hear about. Everyone survive the disaster, I hope?!
