Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
You want the cheapest rot-gut plain vodka you can find. My local liquor store sells 1.75 liters for 12.99. The following assumes 80 proof (40% alcohol); The original Reefkeeping article called for a starting dose of 0.1mL per 25 gallons of total water volume per day for days 1-3, followed by...
Great video! I've always been fasinated by cuttlefish, but dissapointed in that most only live two to three years. They are not fish.....they are cephalopods.....same group as octopus, squid and nautilus....and unfortunalely are not long lived. If they lived longer, I'd have a tank...
I would never set up my RO/DI to turn on and off and on and off with a float valve or solenoid. The reason is that every time it's off, you get a little breakthrough of the membrane, and on startup, those couple minutes to clear the high TDS will now be removed by your DI Resin. Now I don't...
I say drive it.....make it an adventure.....and if you can find a friend to join you, have fun on the way...and fly that person back home. That's what my daughter did in driving out to San Diego....took a friend and took them about a month to see many sites in the US.
You're hours of driving...
I didn't know the Auto Train went to Dallas.....thought it only went to Orlando, Florida.
I did ship a car from San Diego to New Jersey, but no recommendations. I will tell you that they did not allow you to load the car...had to be empty....and they didn't leave San Diego until they had a...
Steve, I had a good chuckle!
Had a friend who had a 32 foot boat in the Highlands....so no rental fees. HOWEVER, after about 100 gallons of gas and $30 - $35 in bait, and getting skunked.....and now having to stop off at the Belford Seafood Coop because I had told the wife we'd be eating...
I've been impressed since day one with ACC in how they do business. Always a sale or something going on to bring in customers. And not only that, one of the cleanest and organized LFS's I've seen. My only wish is that they were closer to me. Kudos to ACC....and I'm hoping I'm not...
I have three external pumps. Originally going external for return and skimmer, but things changed. Here's what I have.....all lightly used and only driven on Sunday to church by an old lady:
Gen-X PCX 40 $110
Pan World NH-50PX-X $125
Pan World NH-100PX-X $150
Ditto above two sentiments....but I'm keeping it positive....I'm waiting in anticapation for the day you return. Pete, you are one of the gems!
OK, that's enough positive stuff.......now, if you don't return in a timely fashion, a group of us are coming to your house to beat some sense...
I'm also not clear as to how this thing communicates. I'm under the impression that it's not a stand-alone piece of equipment....you need a computer/iphone/apex/something, to communicate with it.
I do know you need The Cloud. I know I have The Cloud with my Amazon Fire, but I'm in the fog...
But Mike, if they have something at MACNA, the development is still not done. They aren't supplying beta testers until October. So please, let us know what's available at MACNA. My guess is a whole bunch of hype. They still need to sell a bunch on their KickStarter.
Never heard of it!

Actually there is a lively discussion over on R2R HERE. If this isn't allow to re-direct, please delete. Otherwise, you'll see my comments there.
I apologize if I've already said this....my senility has gotten worse.....Put 2 or 3 #10 nylon washers on the pump shaft on the impeller end. This is what fixed my Atman piece-o-crap pump. With the washers, has been running maybe two years or more. You can find them at HD in the drawers in...
I too have an SWC 160 with a crap Atman pump. I agree with saltkreep....first make sure the volute isn't precipt'ed up with crud. I've had to chip crude out of my volute. Simply soaking in vinegar takes too long.
The second suggestion is the Atman....they tend to stall....and my guess is...
