    The danger of NSW.

    So I will remove myself from this thread. My intentions is just to have a conversation no be right. I wish we could go out to the shore and see corals but that’s not the world we live in. Yes there use to be miles of reefs in the Caribbean and now it’s just one little 10x 10ft reef instead of...

    The danger of NSW.

    Yes I agree that’s how reef use to be. But because of pollution and global warming Corals can’t live in that water anymore. You have to get on a boat and go where there are no humans to see corals and even there the corals are dying. My point so that we don’t countine down this rabbit hole...

    The danger of NSW.

    Listen I took the number 12 bus to orchard beach. I grew up in Washington heights and orchard beach is the “bronx riviera” No matter how much you improve that beach the location is not good. The reefs we have in our Tanks can’t survive close to the land. That’s why corals come from Fiji/...

    The beach is the skimmer of the world. This the worse water you can use. When you see natural reef in the ocean they are 3hrs away from the beach. I have snorkel the Great Barrier Reef and it was a 3hr boat ride to the dive site. Even in the Caribbean you have 1hr -2hr boat ride to see a reef

    Feel free to post pictures of anything growing in your tank. Show us how your tank is thriving under water from Nj shore. I have seen pictures of other refers in other forums and I am not impressed with their NSW tanks. I learned from people on this forum how to make my own saltwater. We have...

    The danger of NSW.

    I can show you pictures of sps frags grow to colonies under zero tds water. I can show you my fish that have zero ick. The aquariums make their own water from salt mix not from the ocean. I personally don’t care about what a few people do in this hobby. They only reason why I am replying to...

    The danger of NSW.

    To each it’s own. I could live by the ocean and it wouldn’t make sense to use NJ water in my reef tank. I don’t even like Carrying buckets so I automated everything. The reason you start with RODI water is so that you have the same base every time of zero tds. I have a 7 stage RODi. With two...

    The danger of NSW.

    Making your own water at home is the better choice. Zero tds can only happen from a RODi. Corals don’t grow in waters off the coast of New Jersey. So why would I add water from there. If I lived in Hawaii or Florida/ Australia maybe but nj has no corals. I am making salt water as we speak I...

    Buying bulbs, T5 user thoughts

    So I run the 4 t5 from a aquatic life hybrid fixture. Since I get my blues from leds I don’t need to run heavy blue. I run 2 coral + and 2 blue + I only run t5’s for 5hrs a day and I like to run a full spectrum.
