I hate to say it, but Greg actually got me to chuckle a little after reading through this sad post. I think David's suggestion was great and maybe threatening some bad publicity will force them to correct this problem ASAP.

Yep, thanks Ray! The pumps were in fantastic condition and the few frags you gave me were an added bonus! 8)

If you can't find it locally, this website has just about any size/thickness (up to 2") you need of multiple types of plastics. Eplastics.com Also, this website sells all kinds of accessories for plastic oriented crafts (hinges, drill bits, adhesives, buffing/polishing stuff, etc.) Craftics.net

This thread was a year old, but still a valid question on the topic. Yes, you can put (and I'd recommend it) egg crate under your rockwork. Covering it with sand might seem like it would "lock-in" the detritis, but bristle worms will make their way down there and take care of it as long as you...

Those are some nice looking feather dusters. But I agree with Nikki. You may have to feed them until your tank is more established. In fact, you may need to feed the shrimp too. Oh, and we'll pretend we didn't see the sunken ship. ;)

Providing a good environment for them to thrive is about all you can do to help. They do much better when there are plenty of hiding spaces (live rock, macro algae, etc.) where fish that eat them can't get to. This can be done by piling small and medium sized rubble pieces of LR so there are...

Having just recently gotten my scuba certification and learning all about buoyancy, this was quite interesting to me. Thanks for sharing James!

Looks like a good deal. Thanks for sharing Greg.

Wow Ed! That is a crazy day. This story makes me very happy that I agreed to buy a used pump as a backup to my return pump... it may avoid a situation like this. ;) Hope everything worked out and there aren't too many things to fix after the leak. Oh, and I'd agree you got lucky on the car...

You have PM! :)

Dave, you might want to see if your wife can throw all the bags in the sump (leave them sealed) so that they can at least adjust to the correct temp. Also, if you didn't already know, inverts need to be acclimated before you put them in your tank. The usual method is to open the bags they come...

Welcome to the club (and to the SW realm) Junior! I've been to Tropiquarium before and that is a fantastic LFS! I can't comment on Aqua Oceans because I've never been there. There is also Reef to Reptiles, which is close to Trop and is a popular choice among other members up North/Central NJ...

Well, we all certainly appreciate all the hard work you all are putting into the site reconstruction and spammer control. The last two posts by Don and Mike really made it clear just how bad this situation is. Good thing we have people doing this stuff in the background to make the rest of us...

I'm not complaining Don. Just trying to get everyone the correct info. ;) Thanks for clarifying guys.

Dave, it's a good idea to put some snails in your fuge. It wouldn't hurt to put a fighting conch in there as well since you have a DSB if you can get one. Aquarium Center has them once in a while. Hermits should be ok too. I don't think they eat anything "live" and prefer to snack on dead...

Apparently, this month's meeting is going to be at David's (malulu's) house, so I guess the old schedule wasn't correct or it was changed. Can a mod or BOD rep comment on the remaining schedule?

LOL, I'd like to see the video of that one howze!

I knew that spread sheet you made was going to come in handy some day! I just wish I had actually used it when you sent me a copy. :'(

I can vouch for the Avast Marine switch as a quality product. I have one and it works great. I'm not exactly using it for a top-off, but actually as an auto shut-off switch for my skimmer for those times when they go crazy. I put the pressure sensor in my skimmer collection container (it's...

Well, I just realized that with the website fiasco of losing a year's worth of posts that we also lost the meeting schedule for this year. I took the liberty to search Google Cache to find this year's meeting schedule, and will post it below. Note that I don't know if this is still valid with...
