    does salt go bad and best salt question

    at the end of the day - whether you are using tmp pro or Instant Ocean Reef Crystals - you need to constantly measure your tank to ensure the right mix of minerals etc are at the right level. If you have no desire to do 2 part dosing etc then it may be beneficial to spend the extra money so that...

    Sea Cucumbers

    Ok - time to own up... I have been to many many asian banquets where sea cukes are offered. It's one of those items where as a kid - you ask your parent what you are eating - and it's best not to know. Anyways - for those of you interested in the conservation aspect - this is a neat document by...

    26Gallon Rimless with new Picasso pair

    if you are in princeton - isn't going to tinton falls out of your way? I would consider stores like allquatics or the hidden reef closer. Mind you I have never been to either so not sure if they would be better than trop (been there). Sorry to hear about the accident with the anem.

    Setting up a 120, need help!

    I didn't come up with the idea. The pvc home was intended for the jawfish - (they refused). I think because it's better suited for the bigger blue-spot jawfish instead of my pearlys. Anyways - my firefish took up residence. I'm not sure if multiple ones can fit...you could try...

    Red/blue ribbed worms?

    late to this thread but "welcome to njrc!" if you have a plethora of bristle worms - you could be overfeeding. If you absolutely want a fish to keep them in check - a coris wrasse might help. I think mine is gut-loaded from eating worms. Some inverts like an arrow crab will work too - but...

    Serpent Star / Brittle Star...found in overflow

    So anyone else have this problem? It went missing around July 4th and I assumed it was scavenged. It was suggested to check under the LR and I knew for certain it wasn't there since it always extends arms out to eat. Well today I decided to get on my step ladder to check the rear overflow...

    Setting up a 120, need help!

    120 aga here. I would say you're going to hear conflicting opinions on the tangs. The two you have selected the tang police would usually recommend a 6 gallon sized tank with some strong flow. I tend to think there is no straight "formula". I mean a 120 with mounds of LR may not even be...

    Ricwilli's 215 build

    love the barrels. Did you consider getting some more of the dolley/caster wheels? regarding the big rock - you could consider splitting it with a hammer. Or just leave it as it is. I dunno - the marco rocks are a little hard to aquascape without their flat pieces.

    lol - no worries. Amphipods/copepods - all you need to know is that both are great for the tank.

    Aquarium Controller Reviews?

    i just realized the link in the sticky is broken. I fixed it: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&/topic,10738.msg100580.html That stated - getting personal experiences here is probably what you are after - and sadly I cannot give you any input. ::)
