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.
Strongly agree with Mark.....fix the problem.
Start by a thorough cleaning of the pump. If that doesn't work, buy a new pump and you virtually have a new skimmer. It should only be a couple more bucks over that 30 you have now.
This hobby isn't cheap....consider a part time job to support...
What are the volts and amps on that wall wart? I have a wall wart that was in a bag of stuff I picked up from @Mark_C and it didn't go to anything I had. Assuming Mark_C doesn't need it back, if it works for you, it's yours. This one is 12V DC, 0.5 Amps. Here's a picture showing the...
RJ, that would be fantastic....and save me a trip. If you can pay him the $120 cash, I'll pay you back when you get here.....or if Mark's agreeable I could PayPal.
Mark, it looks like I'm not going to the monthly meeting so I'll have to make arrangements to come to you for the MP. Let me know what works for you. Hope you're feeling better.
The other consideration is that our test kits only measure inorganic phosphate (phosphorus, orthophosphate). They do not measure organic phosphate compounds, which there are many. So you simply might not be "seeing" that phosphate in your tank......but the algae sure does!
Are you...
Mark and Mark (@MadReefer and @Mark... ) whenever you're ready, let me know. It will be first come, first served. Let me know what works for you to stop in.
James, with the number of these that I have, by the time you're back in the game, I'm sure I'll still have some left. :eek: And...
For some reason I have a few frags of Neon Green Candy Cane frags (Caulastrea curvata). :rolleyes: I typically give frags away, but because I cut, glued and mounted these guys on plugs, it's going to cost you. I'm making it simply, $1/head. I have a bunch of 1, 2 and 3 heads, and...
Looking unbelievable Art. It just amazes me that one-an-done treatment of fluconazole wiped out your hypnosis after two weeks. To the best of my knowledge, you were the first club member to give this a go. I also know your experience with this wonder drug was shared (probably unbeknownst to...
First off, welcome to NJRC. Glade you found us.
Our meeting are informal gatherings of a bunch of reef-geeks. All are welcome, but highly suggested that you RSVP, out of courtesy to the host. It's nice that they have an idea of who is coming.
It's a great place for prearranged frag...
You simply want flow so you don't get stagnant water. The amount of flow isn't going to accelerate the rate of leaching. It's simply a matter of time, and performing water changes when nitrates and phosphates get high. I found a bunch of pumps you may borrow...some high flow, some low. You...
