Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I feel your pain, just got hit with $1200 also. JCPL said rates are close to 20% higher than last year and avg temp was 2 degrees warmer, than July of last year.
I reduced my MH photo period from 10 hrs. to 8 hrs, along with some other energy saving things around the house, to try and save...
Phil, I live in a heavily wooded area, and they are just all over the place. Been here 6 years and never had one in the house. I do have issues where they have made nests behind my grill and refrigerator in my outdoor kitchen. What I do is get the D-Con mouse bait in the packets and place them...
I know it doesnt help you now, but this thing has saved me twice from disaster, its the best $10 you will spend:

I have had one for 2 years, in a 300 gal reef. They need lots of live rock to graze on, they feed off the sponges on it. If you have it in a bare tank it will not survive.
When I first got mine he ate mysis and Ocean nutrition frozen angel formula initially, now he eats everything. You may also...
How fine are the bubbles in the bottom tube?? The water in that tube should be white with thousands of tiny bubbles. You might not be feeding it with a strong enough pump, check with MRC to see if a MAG 18 is strong enough.
Also did you try adjusting the air flow on the becketts??? I have an...
FYI, it is a used unit, just in case you missed it.

OK, if the prior poster is not interested I will take the rock and sand. The only thing is that I can only pickup today or tonight, as I will be going away tomorrow. Was also wondering if you could meet somewhere near the NJ-TPK, if that is convenient for you. Thanks. You can PM me with further...
I have used that before, and it is a nice reminder tool, but just be aware that with that type of program it uses memory, that slows down your computers performance. It did that to mine and i ended up deleting it.
A notebook works fine for me. ;) haha.
Just watched this documentary "Sharkwater" and all I can say is that I was totally moved and affected by this movie.
In short it basically documents the tragedy that is occurring right now all over the world, by the killing of millions of sharks to supply the shark fin industry of Asia.
I was...
I actually had that happen to me a few times, and each time the ricordea ended up showing up on the sand bed eventually. It had always shrunk from lack of light but eventually recovered.
Usually the flow from the tank ends up blowing it into view. You might want to take a powerhead and blow in...
It sounds like the lights were the root of your overheating problem. Having them right on the rim like that is way too close, especially with MH. Try putting them a little higher if the tank is still too hot and get another fan and have it blow across your entire lighting fixture. This will help...
Get a couple of cleaner shrimp. I think they are one of the most beneficial additions to any reef tank. Also add a little selcon and vita-c to your food, along with the garlic.
Most people stress out over ICK, but it usually goes away in time as long as your tank parameters are all good...
I am using them on 4 of the 1200's. They also have great customer service. One of the impellers did break after three months, I emailed them and they sent me a new one that week, no ques asked.
