Our December meeting will be a central location. We're hoping to have a good turnout. We're planning on December 10 in order to avoid the Christmas Rush!
We have been getting some great prizes for our December Raffles!
Pacific Coast 1/4hp Chiller (tickets are $10 per ticket for members, $15...
Thanks. The stage is built and the 150 is now sitting upon it. It was a good opportunity to clean out the tank, change some water and rearrange the frags :-). Carbon is now running through the phosban reactor I picked up at MACNA. Next order of business is to build the recirc loop. I'd say by...
Quite a quandary. You'll never be happy with only 2 lamps over that baby. I think that 400s would just accentuate the problem. You'll certainly need 3 lamps over it. I'm surprised that it only has one brace over it considering your lighting options. I'd probably go with 3x250 and keep them at...
Started building the platform for the 150 (frag tank) last night. We're going to put it 14 off the ground and there will be enough space on it for me to stand on it as well. Once we finish that tonight we'll remove all of the frags from the stock tank, empty it out and then raise it up off the...
December's meeting/social event will include two big raffle items. The two biggies are a Pacific Coast CL-650 1/4 HP Inline Chiller and a tank from Ocean Image Aquariums.
The chiller retails for $500-$550. The chiller will chill 180g of water up to 10* or 100g of water up to 30*...
Yeah Steve, I think they stand poised waiting for my "Dumb face of the month" to happen. And when it does flash flash flash the cameras go off like the night sky over a fourth of July celebration. Unfortunately they don't usually have to wait very long. I'm a pretty easy target. ;D
Bummer you...
Here are some photos from Sunday's antics. We focused our efforts in photographing Merv & Qwerty since they were paparazzi extraudinairre (and we knew there would be precious few photos of the two of them)!
Paparazzi taking a moment to relax
Merv hard at work; taking Macro shots of ... Tank...
Sorry for the late notice gang! We've been working on the frag list :-)
We'll have (pictures to follow):
Blue centered blastos. These are beautiful. I've seen comparable blastos selling for 80$/6 polyps.
Yellow Star Polyps
Green Star Polyps
Mushrooms
Leather
Pot Luck Dry Goods (you get to...
We're looking to order pods in the next day or so:

If you're interested in purchasing chime in and I'll add you to the order. Pickup will be in Jackson, unless you can make other arrangements (I'm also in East Brunswick from 9-5/m-f).
John found the baby (all 1/3 of an inch of him)! In, of all places, the overflow for the tank! ;D I'm so glad he was safe and sound. After hanging in the specimen box we realized that this baby was destined to be lunch if we put him back into that tank. Every fish we had swam with a purpose...
Glad to see you'll make it, Dan.

nagel & spins1344 (tentative)...
If he turns up and is still swimming I'll send him your way! I really don't have the highest of hopes for him. I haven't seen him in 2 days. ??? The (?) F up there was probably not much bigger than the 2.5" though. He's really tiny. If I had another tank running I would have put him elsewhere so...
I picked up 2 new GSM juvi/males for my existing female population while I was at MACNA (thanks for hooking that up, Nagel)! The F in my 120 is a BIG fish and somewhat territorial over her anemones. The fish upstairs is much smaller and other than brushing me away when I get in the tank she's...
OMG! I'm LMAO! I went back and looked again and SURE ENOUGH! You look like you crapped yourself! You're so damn funny. Now go to sleep. There will be no excuses for missing Sunday!
And a small correction... AC WILL be a mad house!
