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.
Just trying to clean up a little. Sadly the Tropic Marin is 2x+ of Reef Crystals. But with my new dosing regiment, maybe I won't have to do as many as large water changes. Dosing just 7ml a day manually to maintain an Alk of 8.8 dKh. Feels good to actually test and have an idea what the numbers...
Hello All,
I picked up a colony of Indo Gold Torches. He would only sell off the dozen or so heads in one shot. So I am looking to break it up slightly and sell either (3 heads for $500 or 4 heads for $600).
Let me know if interested. Will work on better pics but best I have at the moment...
Asking $100.00 for everything pictured and assuming the pm2 module does not work. Controller was up and running with temp probe and display until I sold off the energy bar.

Hello All,
Switched away from reef Crystals Salt but I still have 6 sealed buckets.
I had an auto renew order and before I cancelled had more delivered.
I will sell for $35 per bucket.
Also willing to trade for Euphyllia, other cool corals, or towards an auto top off.
Let me know.

I have found that the MOST useful tools when breaking down tanks you are looking to reset back up are containers and bins.
I personally love the 5 gallon water jugs and Rubbermaid bins.
I sent him things to consider before moving the tank.
Order some replacement bulkheads (incase the originals...
Paulie069 Tank Movers! bwahahaha
Just kidding.
How far of a move are we talking?
NJ to NJ? Out of state? The more info the better.
Is this a tank you are buying and looking to reset up quickly?
I did the same thing from Oakland NJ to Dumont NJ, less than an hour drive, but was able to quickly...
Sounds like you are getting over a hump. Congrats.
But similar to my recent activities...I changed so many things at one shot. Not 100% sure what worked the best to get me where I am now.
What type of suction cups have people successfully used?
I got the orange plastic ones, and the handle literally snapped off.
I tried. You get what you pay for.
But are there ADT 8in versions usable? Or should you get the Woods Power Grips?
Just wondering people's experience.
I had 2 TV Stands on Wheels.
Was awesome height for a Red Sea 250 Max.
Pulled 2 supports from the middle tier and 2 extra wheels from the one unit before I sold it and used that to reinforce the one I used for the Tank Stand.
I was able to lower the water level and roll the entire tank on my...
I just put my skimmer back online after a few months out thinking I would try a dirtier tank. That was before I realized my ALK was through the roof.
So I did have lots of changes in the past 3 weeks. Didnt kill anything. BUT Have a spot or 2 of red slime build up that I just cant shake...
I REALLY think this 8.8-9.0 ALK range should be doable since switching away from Reef Crystals which I tested my fresh mix at 13.2 last month. 13.2!
How was I gonna maintain a 8.5-9.0 ALK when my water changes would raise my ALK to levels my tank was not prepared to handle.
I think my short...
pH seems to be my next parameter to focus on. Testing with my API leaves alot of room for variation. Red Sea test is a bit more easiliy to read.
What are you using to test pH? And As it varies from day to night with lighting, etc. When do you test?
So my 16.2 Alk was No Good? lol
Just tested...
ALK=9.0
The Tropic Marin was at 8.8 when mixed up, so shooting for somewhere around there.
So 9.0 seems good. will test the next few days and see how things go.
Dropped from the 16.2 in a couple weeks. Wanna see how things respond to being at a...
It can be done with 4, Stairs make it tight. You just want those 4 to be strong guys.
I am 5-9ish and getting older. Sump-n-Fishy helped me move a tank last November. He is a tall guy but strong.
It was a Red Sea Max s-500. Just the tank weighs 608 pounds COMPLETELY empty.
We navigated that bad...
