    Moving to Newark Area

    Have you considered on-campus housing? If I’m not mistaken, some of the choices are apartments. The other thought is that Rutgers offers assistance to off-campus housing….you might want to contact them.

    Inherited 90

    Update on the New Beam Installation I had to order the Jack Post I needed from Lowes. They originally told me it wouldn’t be in until January 12th or 13th. The day after Christmas I received a call that the post was in. So I purchased four, ten foot 2 x 6’s and cut them to nine feet...

    NOTE TO THE EXCUTIVE BOARD: Sobo and Cdiggy need to be immediately excommunicated from the club for there total disregard for the official club beer, and not to mention, the oldest brewery in the United States. This is down right heresy on the part of these two members. You are lucky I did...

    +1 to Xavier…..but he left out the most important part. You will need at least on case of cold Yuengling Beer. This is used to attract club members to your house to help with the move. Just be aware that the move is over when the Yuengling is gone…so not too much, and certainly not too little.

    Apex PM1

    You won't need the 4.00. You need the two cal-fluids that "capture" the range you are interested in, so only get the 7.00 and 10.00. Hope that makes sense.

    Merry Christmas

    I just received my Christmas gift….my eldest daughter, who is a chef in NYC, and should have worked Christmas day, just showed up at my door. So I’m happy! All three of my kids will be home for Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone.

    Oh! I didn't notice. Is there a tank in the picture? :o

    Merry Christmas everyone! I know I’ve posted this the past couple years, but it’s one of my favorite photos.

    Zippys tank

    I think those Flying Nun ears are throwing me off. Could it be a Burmese? I do like the snaggletooth.

    Zippys tank

    Pete, your beasts will never cease to amaze me…it’s like going to the zoo of the bazaar. You have the Phyllis Diller birds in your avatar and now this Bat-Cat. For those who don’t know Phyllis Diller, here she is: Doesn’t she look like the birds in the avatar? Now what kind of beast is...

    ultimate present

    John, it would be considerably cheaper if you bought the tank, and leave the little fancy guppy behind. I’ve found that they quickly outgrow the tank, and then become very demanding and hard to keep happy without dropping some major cash. And more important for you since you already have one...

    Leaking Soft Copper Pipe on Fridge Inlet for Ice Maker

    I would not suggest sweating 1/4" tubing....you'll want to use a tubing union....looks like this: Cut the tubing to eliminate the bent portion and install new tubing using these unions.

    Leaking Soft Copper Pipe on Fridge Inlet for Ice Maker

    Turn off the water at the saddle valve. This stops all water from going to the refrigerator. With a towel, disconnect the bent copper tubing and replace it. You can use PE or PEX or copper as a replacement. You’ll have to buy new ferals as well. Wrapping it with Magic Wrap is not a fix.

    Leaking Soft Copper Pipe on Fridge Inlet for Ice Maker

    I'm not quite sure what you're talking about...but you can buy 1/4 copper tubing. If you were closer, I'd give you some. However, what I recommend on an ice maker is to get rid of the copper and PE tubing and either use braided tubing (like this) or PEX (like this). Both of these are much...

    Fragging a leather in the tank?

    +1….out of the tank if you can. What I did was minimize the cutting in the tank by cutting off all that I wanted to cut off in one big piece, and then cut up that big piece out of the tank, and now put the pieces in a bucket by itself. Leathers do put out “nasty’s” when cut. Oh, and I used...

    Help me make a reefing decision

    I’m probably not going to help because of my warped sense of life, but this is the way I see it. Our tanks are like kids. If you were to sit down and figure out what it costs to have and raise a kid, you’d never, ever have kids. It’s cheaper to go buy a Ferrari or Lamborghini than to have...

    MP40 Issue

    I placed the order with Ecotech yesterday for a new Wet Frame. I don’t know why, but for some reason I thought they were out in California. The item was shipped from…..Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and is now in my local FedEx facility, planned to be delivered Monday. Wow! Was that quick!

    I hope you opened up the pump and removed rubber gaskets, etc. By opening it up, and pulling out the impeller, it eases the cleaning.
