Dirty! Dirty! Dirty! My daughter's boyfriend attends Stevens Institute for electrical stuff. He's off for spring break and has been here telling me how he could easily build a tank controller, sensor devices, graphing abilities of everything, blah, blah, blah, and final got to LED lights...

Michael, you're too kind.....however I'm not the pioneer doing this first, I'm just the follower passing on my experience in the instructions provided. I also appreciate the heads up about IEI in Hazlet. Radio Shack is nowhere near what it use to be back in the 70's. It use to be the place...

I'm a ReefKeeper II fanatic....I have four of them. They are no longer being made/sold but I like the simplicity of the ReefKeeper II.....no smart phone connectivity. You can be an idiot and still be able to program them....unlike Apex (and others) where you need to know some fancy-pants...

Jim, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Without question you need to revive that tank as a remberance to your dad.

I've actually had the long nose since 2008.....and I don't know what the secret is. I've actually tried copperbands two times, and refuse to kill any more of these fish. I just couldn't figure out the copperbands.....and the crazy thing with both was that they ate in the LFS but refused to...

So for some reason my yellow tang has gotten aggressive towards my long nose yellow butterfly. I don't understand...they've been tank-mates since maybe five years, and have lived very happy together. And to boot, I've got another zebrasoma in there for the yellow to beat on, and he only...

And who might accept the liability when some blithering idiot member shoots that laser at a plane. I hate to be negative Nancy, but unfortunately you have to think about these things in today's environment.

Darn it! And I was betting that that noose wasn't going around your neck. The Venice Boys' Choir could use a new soprano!

Nitrates don't go away on there own....they need to be "exported." Do you have a sump/refugium and are you running a skimmer? Anyway, if you haven't been doing water changes, I'd start with a water change. And FYI, nitrite isn't an issue with saltwater tanks. Even so, that should quickly...

Edwin, would it be alright for me to be present when your wife hangs you for the tallest tree in your backyard. :eek: :o :grin:

I'll let others comment who have one....and if it's not enough, the 170 is coming out this summer.

The problem with forums is that you can't pick up cynicism, innuendo and snarky comments. So Phil, I'm not sure if you're being snarky or if your kids have had you locked up in a closet for ten months. The Giro, according to some, supposedly is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It...

I also changed out the Koralia nano powerhead I had in the refugium. This POC (piece-of-crap) had started to stall and required me to to put a toothpick into the front of the powerhead to "start" the pump. I originally liked Koralia when they had simple numbers....like the K4's. Still use...

A month or so ago I picked up some Caulerpa from Sunny. I threw it in my refugium, which has a deep sandbed and a powerhead. When I had cheato in there, it wasn't an issue because the ball of cheato just seemed to tumble around as a ball. However, with the Caulerpa, it "planted" itself in...

Gee whiz, that thing looks like a major-large light sabor from Star Wars......mine is bigger than yours! Matt, with you going zap-happy, I just envision you with a snarky psycho smirk on your face, with that laser glow in your eyes, while you're vaporizing everything. :o :o

Doing a little closet cleaning and realized I still had these. Last chance before they go to the recycler. I most likely will be going to this month's meeting at Herb's. Let me know.

You know, I have one simple request..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh7bYNAHXxw show me this frickin laser zapping those ugly beasts....and you don't even have to attach that laser to your head!

For $500, I think it comes with a handle that looks like this:a :p :o :hopelessness:

Anything and everything is possible. If you bounce a ball on a brick wall, eventually all the molecules in the ball will be going in the same direction as the wall, and the ball will pass right through the wall. However, the likelyhood is extremely slim (with the ball and the wall, and the...

No...for two reasons. The play sand/pool sand is most likely treated with stuff and secondly, it is silica based sand. The sand we need to use in our tanks is aragonite based (calcium based). Check out either Petco or PetSmart. One of them has aragonite based sand at relatively low cost...
