    Anyone using garlic here?

    The seaweed we picked up at AO this past week had garlic included in the seaweed. I’m too much of a newbie to say that I’ve seen some benefit. (If anything, it’s kept the werewolves and vampires away.) However, I’m of the belief that it can’t hurt, especially if you have some of those...

    What zoa do I have?

    I guess I’m aging myself.  Bozo the Clown was a TV show in the 60’s (or maybe 50’s, I can’t remember the actual years).  They had buttons which were of little value.  And it was commonly said, as a joke, that if you were right on something, you would win so many Bozo buttons.  Two Bozo buttons...

    What zoa do I have?

    The picture is not the greatest. Maybe Purple Hornets???  You would do better trying to pick it out yourself at this site: http://www.zoaid.com/index.php?module=Gallery2&g2_itemId=15 Also realize, this site only has a handful of zoas listed.

    Glass-Holes Overflow Experience

    The Glass-Holes overflow arrived today. Wooohooo! I’m impressed. I finally see how this thing works, and supposedly is quiet. It has baffles! The other thing I like is that it is only 6 x 12 x 2 inches, and rated for 1500 gph. Won’t take up much room in the tank. Can’t wait to drill this little...

    Yes!  It's the white plastic kind that is about 3/8 of an inch thick. Just make sure it doesn't have a microcide in the plastic to kill bacteria.

    Is there coral off the shore of jersey?

    I dove off Jersey in the late 60’s and early 70’s and never saw any corals….in shallow water or deep water. Than again, you were lucky if you could see your extended hand in front of your face. If you could, you get out of the water and call all your diving buddies, proclaiming exceptional...

    Glass-Holes Overflow Experience

    Dave, thanks for the info. I barely remember that I was the one who posted that link to that info in another post: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=14229.msg131986#msg131986 I still have the problem of not having polarized anything. Maybe I’ll see if I...

    what role does KH play in reefing?

    Explained for the aquarist in simple terms: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/feb2002/chemistry.htm or the simplist of terms, it provides calcium and carbonate for your corals to grow.

    bulb $$ question!

    Yea, with $7.95 shipping! I'd rather support the local guy with this slight difference in price. With our discount, I want to say 24.06, including tax, at AO. I must say, that membership pays for itself.

    Attention foodies! need help~ seriously

    Take a close look at that bad boy….that is a nuclear burrito. Your stomach is the nuclear FUSION reactor. You pop that bad boy into your reactor and an hour later it goes critical, and hope you have a porcelain containment unit close by. That’s what Fusion Cuisine is all about.

    Help picking 4 T5 bulbs for my 65 gallon

    The big difference is the PAR value…the amount of light you get from these bulbs. According to the info above, the UVL Aquablue bulb puts out 254 PAR, while the ATI Aquablue puts out 324. Big difference. The above recommendation for the four bulb setup was to first use ATI bulbs because of...

    Stray Voltage

    I too considered a grounding probe after sticking my VOM in the tank and finding a few volts of stray juice buzzing about. However, here’s my understanding (and boy am I ignorant):  Stray voltage without a ground produces no current.  Current is what kills.  It’s like a bird standing on an...

    Brown Algae?

    To simply answer your question; yes, there are some snails (Trochus and Astraea are two that come to mind), that eat diatoms. I know some crabs do as well, but not sure about hermits though. The other things to consider, if the tank has just finished its cycle, and there are no corals in the...

    will a dogface puffer eat snails/hermit crabs

    My understanding is that the dogface has that beak, and it continues to grow, like our fingernails. It needs to munch down on hard stuff to wear it down. I know snails are on its menu. Not sure about crabs. I also think they are not reef safe because they find that delectable.
