Re: We’re Back Sale - 100+ Gallon Tank - Sayreville I guess I need to put on my salesman hat and really try to sell this thing. Included with the tank are the durso style down-pipes and the return plumbing, with multiple unions for easy assembly and disassembly and two ball valves to...

First $125 takes this great tank. COME AND GET IT!

Bob, from The Man, Randy Holmes Farley: “There are two ways that GFO can lower (or raise pH). Most folks see little to no effect. The primary way involves precipitation of CaCO3, and it take very little drop in carbonate to see a drop in pH, so the alkalinity part may go unnoticed. I saw that...

Sweet, but you need to include details! Is this your own DIY or a kit or did you buy the 12-pack that way? What mix of LED’s do you have? What size tank are you using this on? Drivers? Dimmers? Come on Brian, details! Oh, and the first time I’ve seen a PC light fixture put to good use. :o

I don’t so much mind the loss of post count and the numerous PM’s that were lost, but if these are going to drop drastically, how come my age didn’t decrease by a year of so? That is the one thing I’d like to see decrease. Why does that have to remain “right?” :P

It is an approximate 100 gallons and measures 48 inches wide, 18 ¼ inches deep, 29 ½ inches high and is ½ inch glass with a mirrored background. It has an offset overflow on the back wall. I’m including the stand and canopy, but please realize they are both in need of work. The stand, I only...

Hey, my “Tale of the Tank” is gone!  Does that mean I have to tear down what I have done and start over? So who is going to Sunny’s on the 25th for the meeting?  I’m sure Sunny will be surprised when people start showing up on his porch on the 25th. Wow, Thermosts, you’re a newbie….welcome...

I just happen to be red/green colorblind...make fun of the disable will you. Shame on you. The color looks just fine to me. ;D

I don’t know what is going on with my fish wanting to commit suicide. I lost a Coral Beauty about a week ago, found “extra crispy” on the floor behind the tank. Today I walk into the fish room and there is my Starry Blenny about five feet from the tank, catching some air. I immediately picked up...

My tank is now nice and cool. Can you tell from the picture below? Greg, I did try your suggestion of Yuengling Light, and it just didn’t work for me. I noticed my feminine side coming out…wanting to do things like multitasking. Since I had a specific job at hand, I switched back to the Lager...

Paul, could they be Collonista snails? HERE’s a link that includes a picture of the guys that are in my tank.

Have an MRC2 running off a MAG 24. I do have an external dedicated pump sitting on the shelf that will be installed once I get around to drilling the sump. I’m also considering, once I drill the sump, installing the valve upside-down. The reason is to see if “damming” the return flow would make...

I made this fan bracket to fit three 80mm (ca 3 1/8 inches) computer fans. These are the common fans found on desktop computers. After making this bracket, I decided to go with a five fan unit, so I don’t need this one anymore. This bracket is made of ½ acrylic and is 17 inches long. You can see...

Only one thousand pounds! What a lightweight. Carol Ann Yager was reported being 1600 pounds at her heaviest. When she died, at the ripe old age of 34, she had lost weight, and was down to 1200 pounds. Sick woman. Who is she really impressing?

Re: Bummer – Dead Fish – Need Hood Ideas Here’s another thought, and I need input on this….make the canopy twice as high as I need it. The lower part, with a false front, will rise straight up into the upper part of the canopy, opening up the tank, to be able to reach in. This lower part would...

Re: Bummer – Dead Fish – Need Hood Ideas Merv, nice build! The problem I have is that my lights are maybe 16 7/8 inches wide while the tank width is 17 inches. My hood will be completely closed and I therefore have no room to slide the light out of the way.

I really hate it when a fish dies, and it could have been avoided.  My Coral Beauty decided to go carpet surfing, probably by the two new fish I just added being very skitterish and scaring the CB.  When this pair of Blue Throat Triggers is spooked, they would bolt into the rocks like a bull in...

I am surprised that the NJRC filters don’t take out cuss words, such as “Canon.” There are those amongst us who feel this is a demonic word. Just for clarification, I have a ***** F1 from the good-old film days. Too bad I couldn’t use the lens I have from that baby on one of these newer digital...

Phil, having been born on the northern shore of Long Island (Port Jefferson/Stony Brook), I vaguely remember the older folk seining for eels just off the beach. Now this was in the 50’s, and I was a little tyke, so bear with me. I can remember them pulling in the net and there were obvious...

I agree with Ricwilli, but would take it one step further. I am bothered by the condition of this RBTA. If it dies, it could take down the whole tank. So I would put it in a Tupperware container that is hanging in the tank. Now you have no flow for the RBTA, but can still keep the flow going in...
