    BRS just merged with Neptune

    I personally think technology is great. The apex is a controller. So it allows you to do something about it even when I am not home. The heart beat in apex is one of those things that will alert me if something goes bad. I could setup what apex does when my return pump dies. It will shut off...

    Fish room build “this is the way”

    I have a very large sump. With nothing in it. My refugium is in a separate tank. My sump only holds my skimmer and two 300w heaters.

    North Jersey Get together/ meet

    You can have it anywhere you want. That’s what’s good about this plan. You can have one in the north and then have one in the south and then have one in the middle

    North Jersey Get together/ meet

    I live in Edison. I can go and get prices for the American legion or the knights of Columbus. I live in the middle so it should be easy for everyone to get to it. Once we know a price we can divided that by the number of people that want to setup tables. We will all clean up. Most halls also...

    North Jersey Get together/ meet

    It’s not a big deal to get a place. If we get something like the American Legion They have them all over NJ. We can reach out to them and see how much it would cost. To rent the hall in the day for like 5hrs.

    BRS just merged with Neptune

    No fusion will always be free. Everything is in the cloud now so no one would pay for that service. Everything is made in south east Asia including the phone you have in your hand. The reason why people use the cor is that when the apex goes down. I get a notification. If my pump isn’t running...

    North Jersey Get together/ meet

    I just think it would be better to go to a neutral location. Where everyone can go. It’s not fair to the person hosting the meeting. It is a huge commitment. I think you will also get more participation if in a hall or a rented space. A frag trade/sell table can be setup. We can move to...

    North Jersey Get together/ meet

    I still don’t understand why we need to meet in people’s homes?? I think it would be better for us to find a neutral space. Rent it out and have our meeting there. We can all put money to pay for the rental of the space. I’ve can meet for a few hours. We setup tables We can have a frag...

    Fish room build “this is the way”

    My orp has dropped like 50. Since removing My rocks in the frag tank. Nothing else has changed. I just removed the rocks from that frag tank. It looks like the rocks was doing a good job of cleaning the water. My ph has also dropped. So the rocks buffered the ph. Let’s see if I can get it...

    That’s why they purchase marine depot. Marine depot had two shipping warehouses. So now BRS should be able to ship from the west cost and the east coast and they will continue to ship from The middle. So this should lower cost in shipping and time that a package will take in shipping. This is...

    Fish room build “this is the way”

    So I added a Red Sea 20 gallon. This will be my qt tank. It’s not part of the system. It’s a stand alone all in one. It comes with everything I need skimmer/return pump/socks. I am using a kessil 150 to light the tank. Right now I have some test zoa frags to see how they do. I was able to use...

    Muriatic or bleach? Semi-emergency upgrade.

    I have become an expert at cleaning rocks. My vote is also muriatic acid. I have never used bleach.

    BRS just merged with Neptune

    So let’s see how this plays out. I would love to see a entry low $300 or less controller from apex. Like the apexjr. Or the el-mo that monitors only. I think BRS is tired of Neptune having problems with manufacturing. Neptune is notorious for releasing new product and not having enough...

    Water change on 150 gal tank or more

    To be honest I feel big tanks are easier to take care of. The problem with big tanks is that they come with a big bill. A 6ft tank will need 3 x led light fixtures that can handle 24x24 spread. So just for lights your taking about a 4 figure price point. Rocks will also be expensive on a 6ft...

    Water change on 150 gal tank or more

    It depends on what live stock you want to grow. If you want soft corals/zoas then you can get away With less water change. If you are growing sps or lps You need to do water changes. I run a mixed reef and I do water changes every two weeks. I do 50 gallons on my system. Water changes is...
