You want the return pump and enough space that you can get your hand in there and adjust it, or wiggle it about, without hitting a partition. You also want to be able to mess with the ato if needed. A simple adjustment or having to get your fingers under the return to pry a suction cup loose or...

Ha! Timing is everything. I woke yesterday to find my 3yo phantom clown went carpet surfing through the night (sad face). Wanted to get a new clown in sooner than later, largest I could find (my remaining female is 3-4"). Picked up, and just released, a snowflake in there, post acclimation, an...

So, not going to go into detail regarding the complexity of the construction, nor give a listing of the vast amount of supplies required to create such a trap. I will, however post the results as a teaser for future sales. In an attempt to catch 2 shrimp, with a small slice of fish placed...

What are you using in the hang on filter? I'd advise staying away from any premade filter pads, they're not marnine take optimal. I'd buy some carbon, a small media bag or two, and some filter floss. Drop a couple tablespoons of carbon into the bag, drop the bag in the filter, and fill the...

https://www.marinedepot.com/Lifegard_Aquatics_Full_View_Aquarium_Complete_Kit_7_Gallon_Nano_Tanks-Lifegard_Aquatics-RB31740-FIAQNC-vi.html A few months back at the Jackson meet I had $20 in my pocket that I was planning to donate to the club via raffle tickets. I didn’t really need or want...

Drop me a PM when the time comes. Even if I'm not harvesting I can easily cut a bag or two.

Meant that as a cleanup crew I had snails to cover most concerns (approx 40-50) There's 1 emerald crab in there and 3 peppermints, the emerald has been in the tank 2 years. The snail deaths (including at least 1 of the 2 bumblebees) began just after the introduced peppermints finished all the...

Running Red Sea Coral Pro since I started, then recently bought a big container of Reef Crystals as it was considerably cheaper while on sale. With 2 10% water changes using the Reef crystals I had increased growth, but parameters shifted a bit. As mnat pointed out the alkalinity shift with the...

So, a while back I had a big aptasia outbreak, I picked up a couple of peppermint shrimp in hopes they would be effective, and they were, wiping the aptasia out in a week. Then, 2 weeks back, I started having an algae problem, which is unusual as my considerable snail population (nassarius...

Looks beautiful. Shame you have to put stuff in it.

As per rock or sand first... The thought of putting in rock first is so it sits solid on the bottom of the tank and various inverts or fish (engineer gobies) cant dig under them and cause them to collapse, potentially breaking the glass. I usually do about 1 1/2 to 2” of sand, shallow enough...

You can cure it in tank. There's plenty of info out there. I just cycled a tank myself. Dropped in rock and sand. Poured in some bacteria (Special Blend) and to help added a bit of cured rock from another tank. Dropped a dead raw shrimp in there for 3-4 days (it helps kick in the ammonia cycle...

I order from the every year or so. Usually all is well. I expect about a 10% loss from them, but theres always a few extras in the bags, and for the prices you cant get better (assuming your order survives). Then again I never order the overnight shipping items, just generic snails and hermits.

The Bi-weekly harvest is here. Have 2 GIANT bags with pods and whatever else is in there. If you get in touch with me by 8:30 tomorrow morning I can leave it outside in Brick or bring it to Jackson. Also can hold for pickup up for tomorrow or Friday (ar Sat if it lasts that long (I'd do a bag...

Grats! Sand it down and stain it black so it keeps a dark woodtone. I plan on doing the same thing with the chameleon cage.

Can someone please buy this so I can stop thinking about it.

Id love to take it if still available. Can trade 2 nice acan frags. Will be driving through Kearny next Sat at 9am then 6pm-ish.

Always curious on this myself. I've always shot for approximately a 10x flow from the return pump, my 2 40b's are now running inexpensive pumps from Amazon that are pushing 350-400gph. I thought that the longer the water was in the sump with the skimmer, reactors, heaters, and whatever else, the...

Mark's membership is up soon, right?

So, driving for a few hours today with NPR on. The Planet Money show comes on and they're speaking of all things, sand. Big business sand. So much so that hundreds of thousands of tons are dredged, dug up, and stolen from various regions every year for everything from creating concrete and...
