This deeply saddens me….does this mean all the dead fish are still dead and inactive? Sorry, I have a sick sense of humor. Actually I was saddened by the news of your power outage. I truly hope you are able to recover and continue with minimal loss. Look on the positive side, you had nanos...

I am not familiar with the thread on RC regarding removal of the side. I will tell you that the side does offer support to the tank, albeit only 18 – 24 inches. More critical is that the sides keep the front and back walls perpendicular. Removing the side could be a tricky venture as well. If...

Can you potentially knock out one end and slide the tank in that way?

Here’s my guess: If it is a store bought stand, I would be willing to bet that the support between the two doors is an integral structural component of the stand. These stands are typically ¾ inch plywood face frames that I would guess could not support that weight over a six foot span without...

Whoooo hooo………………..darn, I’m unemployed…………..but it will still be a great reefing day!!!!!

Because of all the snow you guys get down south! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Kados, unless you just recently paid and submitted an application, looking under your screen name, I do not see “NJRC Member.”  If you look at the post just above your last post, from ken6217, you’ll see “NJRC Member” just below his name. There are two types of members; There are FORUM...

My wife got the call about 8:45pm, no school tomorrow. At that point we had a light wet snow falling....Sayreville, Middlesex County.

I would like to point out that the group buy with Premium Aquatics is for NJRC members only. However, there is still time to join and get in on the group buy! ;D It ends on the 25 of February.

Phil, as I said in the PM, sad to see you taking a break....but you gotta do what you gotta do! I will definitely be putting in for tickets and if I am lucky to win, please just consider it a grow-out to restock your tank when you ready to get back in.

How do you clean the sandbed? I heard if you disrupt the sandbed it will make it worse by releasing nutrients.

I’m convinced it’s a nutrient problem, so in addition to stabilizing the tank, I’m also doing frequent water changes, cutting down on feeding and skimming like crazy. It’s slowly improving.

Arvind, I have the same problem, but I’ve just gone through some major changes…lights, high temperature, new skimmer, high salinity. Do you also get multiple gas bubbles after the lights have been on for several hours? That’s what is happening to me. Hundreds of small gas bubbles covering the...

Greg, not familiar with mypicturetown, but what you need to do is post the IMAGE code. Might want to check this out: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=46&Itemid=25 I’ll also clean this up now and once you straighten this out, I get rid of all other tries.

This is wild stuff. I found this link which will lead you to many other links that discuss this. Who would have ever guessed, in a million years, that carbon could take on magnetic properties. I actually went back and checked the two different brands of carbon that I use. Both exhibited magnetic...

Hey Ed, don’t start roomers, or I’ll have to start posting pictures of my guppies! ;D

Brian, thanks for the info. I’m eventually going to an external pump (pressure pump of some kind), as soon as I find the pump (it’s here somewhere), and drill the sump. Thanks again.

Are you sure you haven’t confused your GFO bucket with the carbon bucket? The reason I say that is that I never labeled my carbon and GFO until recently. The way I figured out which was which was using a magnet. GFO is an iron oxide. Carbon is carbon, and definitely not magnetic!

I can see from your avatar that you look a bit peaked. ;D Hope you’re feeling better.

Re: My MRC is Female – Taming the Beast Again, I admit, I’m an idiot...is a MAG “pressure rated?”  So what you are saying is pressure rated gph is not equal to non-pressure rated gph? Oh, and FYI, the height of the skimmer intake to the pump is about 2 1/2 feet.
