    Zippys tank

    And I thought you were going to be the first club member to try Ken Nedimyer's hanging coral methods. He had found that hanging corals grew faster then ones that were mounted: This is the method he now uses in his coral nursery in FLA.

    Zippys tank

    Pete, looking good. I like that appearance of the corals floating in the tank…..or, a still shot of them raining down. So how are you doing that…..with monofilament (ala Ken Nedimyer)? Are you giving Ken’s system of suspended corals for maximum growth a test run in your tank?

    Welcome To NJRC! Take a minute to introduce yourself

    Welcome Elfrida Ross. You've found a great resource in learning about the hobby and asking questions, that I'm sure you will have. Since it appears that you are new to saltwater, I would not recommend going "big," with your first tank. Yes, water parameters are a touch more stable, but I...

    "If you want to upgrade your tank I want you to upgrade my front porch!"

    Hold up Matt. First take a look at what I did on the DIY skimmate locker I made.....HERE. I simply used quick-connect elbows with some clear tubing to make a "sight tube."

    LEDs Rock!

    Note, this is in "Open Water," so nothing to do with our tanks. A couple of the bulbs went out in the dashboard of my truck. So I looked into replacing the bulbs....six in all...and found that the conventional bulbs would cost around $30. By the way, they recommend changing all bulbs...

    "If you want to upgrade your tank I want you to upgrade my front porch!"

    Thanks for the leads.....but I think the next time I have on my stretch pants and extra small shirt showing my belly, I'll first check out Walmart. I've gotten some nice containers from them. Also, we don't have a Container Store close by in central NJ....only in Paramus and Cherry. If...

    I'm liking that charcoal container. Was it available in clear?

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I too have shoot knees. I've had both operated on about six years ago....but they are still on the way out. I'm pretty sure what you had injected was hyaluroran (rooster comb material), that typically requires 3 to 5 visits. It works well but only last between 6 months to a year, dependent...

    Upgrade

    WooHoo! With this being one of Sunny's games, that means I win the prize......I think it's a Gem Tang or Clarion Angelfish. :grin:

    What the ............ I believe the next upgrade would be called an indoor swimming pool!

    Pond fish gone

    Could they be buried in the guck on the bottom….waiting for warmer weather? If it was ice covered, how would a raccoon get them.

    Possible Squamosa Issue?

    My guess is a byssal opening issue. HERE’s a great video that explains why clams die. The Squamosa have a byssal opening that “can vary in size and tends to decrease as the clam grows, probably because the clam tends to become bottom-heavy with age and doesn't need to attach as strongly to...

    T5 reflectors and bulbs...ca 5 feet

    Bob, they are yours. No rush.....I'm actually in North Carolina until next week some time. When you're ready let me know.

    Mp40s are loud

    If you find one that will fit that little motor, please let me know. This actually was my thought as well.....a tapered rollerbearing...or even a tapered ballbearing....I think either one would work.....if they existed that small!

    Mp40s are loud

    You are correct, when used as intended. A number of these ceramic bearing have ABEC 8 grading....very high quality. Please read the above post...and you will see that people who installed ABEC 8 ceramic bearings had noise problems. The problem is that they are taking a bearing designed for...

    My feeling as well.....a simple shoe moulding or you can go real fancy. HD and Lowes have a selection of oak moulding.
