Stopped by Rob's earlier tonight. He was overly generous insisting I take all the frags 'so that the other nut-jobs won't show up'. Great guy, had a blast and could have hung out longer had I not had my 4 year old in tow. Beautiful home, family, and a couple of great tanks. But I'm sure you guys...

Gyre :) Put a 130 in a 4' tank a couple weeks back. Have 2 rock islands with alcoves. Frag with 5 Xenia heads and a Green Star Polyp placed on bed for acclimation, in second alcove, 3' away from Gyre. Gyre set at 80%. Next morning it had blown off 3 of the Xenia and ripped about half the GSP off...

Looks like a stomatella, a snail with a soft 'shell'. Good cleaners, reef-safe, nocturnal, hunted by peppermint shrimp and 'lined' wrasses in underfed tank, easily reproduce if they survive long enough, if threatened they drop their hind end like a lizard dropping its tail. Source: did some...

Very generous. If you can offer one or two up for adoption to the new guy I'd appreciate it. PM sent.

If no one available, we can do the April meeting on the 18th between 1 and 5pm.

That stuff is great. Just used 60 pounds of it in my new reef. Scavengers are good with it, nassarius are good with it, and it doesn't blow around, even with the gyre at 80%. Would advise a good rinse though it seems quite 'dusty'. I put a few scoops in a bucket, rinsed with tap until...

This is still helping me... http://successfulreefkeeping.com/resource/reefkeeping-acronyms/

Grats. Just got a gyre 130 in my 4' and it works fantastic at 60% power. That overflow looks impressive. Good luck.

Remove from that 2 Jebao WP-10s.

Add to that 2 Jebao WP-10s for $25 each.

TAX RETURN!!! ...and got one of these on a frag. I will love him, and hug him, and call him george...

Took about 3 hours, but it eventually made it across the gap.

With the new 90 set up, I'm going to be selling some old equipment. Would like to try to sell the following as a set, just add a pump and ready to go: 40b (black painted back) Eshopps 300 overflow (with 1" pvc plumbed in) 10g 3 chamber sump Modified pine stand U bend return Current USA...

Great pics and thanks for the insight. As an adult I've travelled the world for 10+ years and yet, somehow, I ended up back here in NJ. Unfortunately I've always been a metro type and have settled in cities or suburbs with few chances to see outside the bustle. My short-sightedness was my loss...

And now, in Movietone News...That mandarin is a beauty.

Well, transferred last Wednesday over an 18 hour period. Tanks were next to each other so all went smoothly. If into detail... I filled the new 60g with 50# rinsed aragonite on Sunday and began making water. On Wednesday I added the 25g matching salinity (new) water to the new tank then...

Excellent idea. I was thinking way too inside the box. Concern I had was that the current system (40b) is without a skimmer for past few weeks and I've been overfeeding a bit. I thought new water in the new tank would be beneficial. But... Feeding off your idea I instigated a 20% water change...

When I entered this hobby 8 months ago I assured my wife that the 40b was a perfect size for our room. Having read for over a year in preparation for the hobby, I assured her that this set up would do us well for many years and there was no fear of expansion or additional expense. This week I'm...

Been a couple of weeks but a lots gone on, including news of a future reefer - there goes the boat savings. BUT, I'm back to the tank, and, more substantially, the stand build. As my garage is filled with every tool known to man, I have no space to build anything. This required completing the...
