    Acclimation techniques....Lots of questions ??????

    That's really interesting. Do you dip it with FWE or Lugols before this? I know we're talking corals here - but I picked up an interesting acclimation method from Dr. Ron for snails. He suggested taking the snail and holding it at the water level until it "attached" to the tank wall. Then the...

    The 24.3 lb Non World Record Fluke....

    Not a fisherman...really just have questions for the folks who do fish...and anyone that's seen a raccoon in action. According to the woman...the fish's tail was mangled because... the boyfriend stepped on the fish to hold it down (and it wasn't damaged via a commercial net), and the head...

    DTV - Tivo or DVR?

    For the tivo you can purchase separately a wireless connector that will then refresh it's tv listings/schedule via your cable modem (assuming you have one) rather than dragging a phone line to connect to the box.

    Talk on Temps

    Thanks for the post Carlo - it was a little hard to read because I wasn't always sure if Ron was talking in italics or not...lol. The post just reinforces my own feelings of complete and total inadequacy when it comes to really understanding our reefs. I would submit though that the actual...

    sonicare or oral b?

    We have oral b. Hmm - never thought about them being loud but come to think of it - they are like a mini-lawn mower...lol. I guess we're just used to the sound. I never tried a sonicare...my dentist suggested the oral b to me years ago so that's what I've stuck with.

    Anyone install/have info on Water Softener?

    We've been in the new house for almost a year and the water is just terrible when compared with tap in manhattan. It appears to be very very hard with mineral residue. Would like to know if anyone out there went ahead and procured a water softener (e.g. from Home Depot). Are these things...

    How prepared are you for this?

    the quake was supposedly a 6.6...so the tank is fine! lol. Actually Singapore is a pretty advanced/modern nation - it was nicknamed one of the five tigers in east asia (along with taiwan, hong kong, japan, and south korea). The country also sits geographically in a zone that will experience...

    general advise

    ...speaking of protein skimmers - is there one in your tank? Maybe you mentioned it in another post but I don't see it mentioned in this thread. Nitrates can be controlled somewhat with water changes and a good skimmer. The refugium (assuming you regularly prune the macro) will also help. Some...

    mono sabae

    never heard of that fish - at first I thought you were talking about a sebae clown/amphiprion sebae. Did you put a mono sebae in your reef tank? I've never had any success with fish catching without major rock removal. I read an article once about how some fish have a few minutes of...

    Cool setup! Is the 270g sump behind those tanks or did you drill through the floor somewhere?

    Welcome To NJRC! Take a minute to introduce yourself

    That is so cool! My wife and I purchased our first home and she gave me a bill for the new kitchen. :'( LOL! Though I am truly on her good side now and have staked out room in the house for the (hopefully upgraded) tank. ;D
