    whats the paintman been up to???????????

    Figure 16 bulbs a year times roughly 20 bucks you are at 320 a year in bulb replacement plus 1540 for the initial cost. You could probably buy leds at this point for that price and not have to worry about bulb replacement. I still love T5s and have the dimmable sunpower for my frag tank, so I...

    whats the paintman been up to???????????

    Looks amazing. The only problem I would see with T5s is the replacement cost of the bulbs each year. You are going to need a ton of bulbs over that monster.

    Just my thoughts

    Thank you for the suggestion. We will have swap shirts available at the frag swap as every year. We are also working on some staff shirts for events and what not. We had a bunch of NJRC gear that is took forever to sell from MACNA. We have put out a few group buy flyers in the past that...

    barnacle blennies

    Watching them feed is incredibly entertaining. They fly out and fly back into their cave so fast.

    Nuking Sand?

    The amount of effort and water you would have to go through to nuke it a lot. As other suggested I would just buy new live sand and save yourself the time, energy, and water.

    Tank Crash, Montipora Nudibranches

    Do you have access to a copper test? It is really far reach but if you got copper contamination from something that could have the effect. Monti eating nudis can go through monti, but should not go after other corals.

    Coolaid's 28g Nano Cube

    What equipment do you have running on the 20l? We have kept stuff in temp tanks for a while with no problem as long as we had a skimmer or HOB filter, lights, powerhead and a heater. We are in point if you need anything.

    barnacle blennies

    We have had them for a year or so now and they are very much amazing fish. We got ours at AO and Trop. They are small, we lost one to a hermit crab. I think we might have about 3 of them now.

    first intro post and an issue

    When we moved into our house a year ago we had a die off of corals in our 57g tank that was maddening. We tested and restested and figured it was the leds on the tank. Turn out our refractometer was not properly calibrated. We were calibrating it with fresh water which you should not do (get...

    first intro post and an issue

    If the conclusion we are coming to is that is was the LEDs shocking the corals which started your problems you have several things you can look at. First, obviously turning them lower helps and slowly over time bringing them up. I think most recommend starting around %25 or so and moving about...

    Our trip to the Long Island Aquarium!

    I think the fish you were talking about being the first bred are either the swissguard or candy basslets. Todd Gardner who is doing the breeding is a featured speaker at our Frag Swap.
