    I’m not sure how you came up with 15 inches. If I look at simply trig with the known information, a height of 15 inches with 120 degree optics is spreading that light to approximately 52 inches. That is a whole bunch of light spillage. That is, a single LED bulb is emitting a cone of light...

    We got the robo call this morning (at 5:30) that schools have early dismissal in Sayreville.

    Dusky jawfish

    I do not know anything about raising jawfish fry, but I’ve got to believe you’ll need some very small food source when they hatch….something like rotifers. If you don’t have a colony already going, I’m thinking you’re in trouble.

    Yet another Technology Question

    I’m technologically challenged. I barely own a cell phone…..I typically leave it at home next to the regular house phone. It certainly isn’t smart or “I” or whatever…..it’s a phone! If I do use it, I CALL someone, because it’s a PHONE. So anyway, here’s my question: I answer a post on...

    Marks...Back to the Future..Reef Aquarium

    I'd almost think that that would be too much. Are you sure the LED's are running at 3 watts. So many 55 LED units with 3 watt LEDs are actually running at 2.1 to 2.2 watts (120 watt units). I would also think that that would be enough light as well. JMTC

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

    Well, that's debatable....she did make ONE mistake! :o :grin: :grin: By the way, the tank looks great.....and that's clearly not a mistake.

    Some Corals are dying off. Others are growing.

    Joe, I thought it was a typo in the PM you sent me, but General Hardness (GH), is a freshwater test. General hardness is actually measured in saltwater tanks through magnesium, calcium and alkalinity tests.

    aiptasia

    Heat up a coffee cup of RO/DI water in the microwave. Using a turkey baster, give the little SOB a shot of boiling water. Using this method, no chemicals in the tank.

    Transferring Files

    I just picked up a new computer and would like to transfer the files (pictures and documents), from the old to the new. What’s the easiest way of doing that? Can I simply attach a cable from one to the other, or do I need software or knowledge? Obviously, I don’t have the knowledge! I...

    ABS black plastic pipe and fittings

    It’s only “approved” for DVW…..(Did I get those acronym letters straight, or is it DWV….whatever, it means Drain, Vent, Waste….not sure of their official order.)

    January 2014 Meeting

    Just like Mike, I’ll be bringing a little “dish” with me too. :o However, my dish will be Walnut brownies. I would imagine most of us will be coming via Route 1. Just watch for all the red-light cameras. There are a boat load of cameras along this stretch of the road, and they’re set...

    Dan's 150 Rebuild

    Just to clarify, the pipe is actually 1 1/2 inch pipe. I used rigid PVC. Make sure you throw in a couple unions in there just in case you need to take it apart.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Paul, I tried to find the original posts about your sock monkey, but eventually realized this was back in 2010. Let’s say that this website crashed around June 1, 2011, where all post going back about 1 ½ years were lost. So the posts about your sock monkey were lost. Anyway, maybe this...

    George, that's not story...it's a tome! Please straighten out PaulB's picture issues.....I can't take all the writing! And they say a picture is worth a thousand words....hopefully that will cut down on the length of these posts. :o :grin: Glad to see you re-found us Paul. Is your...

    UConn @ Rutgers women's basketball tickets

    Oops, my bad! I’m just a wealth of mis-information. When I looked up the game info, I didn’t realize I was looking at the 2013 game schedule….so also, no pink. Sorry. Game is on Sunday at 3….if I looked it up right.

    UConn @ Rutgers women's basketball tickets

    Karen, Just an FYI if you do end up going…..It is the annual WBCA Play 4Kay Pink Night, in memory of the late Kay Vow, former coach at North Carolina State. Fans are asked to wear pink to the game. But wait.....you signed up for the monthly meeting, and I think the game touches off at 4...
