Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Never heard of them, but a quick search found that they hosted MACNA in 1991. I did find the following listed address and contact person, but all associated links were dead-ends.

Whelks are reef safe. However, they will kill and eat other snails and will do the same with a clam. If you have a clam, the whelk has to go. And obviously, if you have a clean-up crew of various snails, bye, bye whelk.
AJ, where are you located? If you are close, I'd give you your ten dollars as well as a nice light green zoa (don't know the name, but it's a good one).
So I have two frag racks in my DT so that my Mexican Turbos have something to play with at night. :grin: Having two Mexicans, I can’t keep a frag in the racks. I’ll place new frags in the rack, and the following morning the rack is empty, with the frags being thrown into the mushroom field...
George, the other way I was considering hanging the fixture, was putting a long bolt or threaded rod in the holes, and then using a spacer. Here is an example of a carriage bolt (I would not use a carriage bolt), with a piece of 1/2 “ cpvc as the spacer. I’m pretty sure the bolts currently in...
Mike, you’re killing me. I hadn’t planned on doing anything, but once you’ve brought it up………made this little cover this morning.
NOTE TO SELF: Pick up screen at HD. For some reason, the screen in our back door is missing. :grin:
George, I have, for the sake of giving it a name, the First Generation Apollo box. It is steel, has fixed cords, push-button switches, and has a very simple cable hanging system. The top of the fixture has four small, machined eyebolts that would clip to a four-point cable. Again, very...
Not sure what Jaco you are looking for, but my HD has a whole section of Jaco and John Guess fittings. Have you tried there. If not, any plumbing supply house should have them. And last, amazon.com if you can wait for the shipment.
Here are the questions I have:
Were you shocked by a shorted light fixture?
Or were you shocked by a voltage leak in the tank?
Don’t answer too quickly!
The feeling of the shock was at the light fixture, but the voltage could have come from something leaking in the tank. You were just...
After mounting the lights in the monstrosity in the above picture, I ran into a little problem….I could not get into my tank. With the canopy attached to the frames holding the lights, it was very difficult to slide off this Rube Goldberg to get into the tank. The upper frame pieces were less...
Nick I would agree with you in regard to the light period……except…….Ham has a 20 gallon tank. 120 watts of LED is a bit much for a 20 gallon…and especially a 20 long, that is (I think) only 12 inches deep. Therefore, I think it best if you run the lights separately. I think if all 120 watts...
Ham, I’m in the same boat. I’ve read the stuff about increase height, covering with screen, and shortening the photo period, but nothing definitive. I guess everyone’s situation is different. I’m a dumb-a$$ and need someone to tell me what to do. Right now I’ve got my fixtures about 30...
Rich, looking good!
It looks like you are building the stand right in place. Having done the same design for my little five foot tank, you would have to. That beast is going to need a crane to get it into place…..it weighs a ton!
Keep the pictures coming.
As far as using sheetrock as a...
