I have the d120 fixture that I purchased off of ebay….exact fixture that Reefbreeders sells as their “value” fixture. You can see details HERE, post 24. I’m very happy with the fixture.

With recent discussions about vermetid snails, I was scratching my head about your post….”poop holders.” It finally hit me (I think), that you were talking about the skimmate containers I made back in December: If that’s the case, HERE is the DIY on how to build one. Very happy on...

David, thanks for your input on this. I’ve been reading and I believe you were correct in identifying the large ones that I have as vermetid as well. I also have the smaller ones that are the common ones found in many aquaria….and reproduce easily. The larger ones are not as common and...

Dave, I do have vermetid snails…..look at the base of the worm in the picture….I believe these are vermetids growing on the worm……considerably smaller. I don’t think these big guys are vermetids…..I don’t think vermetids get that big. I’ll repost the picture so you don’t have to go back a...

Creatures in My Sock I am amazed of the “hard” things that have been growing on the 1 ½ inch PVC pipe that enters my filter sock. I have many small black things, many as small as the head of a pin, that are not movable, but hard as a rock. But I also have three very large tube worms that...

One is perfect. I don’t like spotlighting and want the different colored lights to "intermix," so I like the larger angled lenses. That being said, if you want to mound it up high, you may need the narrower lenses.

Finally got back to cutting wood. Added two shelves to the carcass…..1/2 inch plywood with the middle shelf supported by pocket screwed braces…..3 inches wide on the side pieces. For those that followed along with my canopy build, you’ve seen this before….cutting kerfs in the front...

I’m pretty sure Granger carries them…and they are all over the state: Address: 328 State St. Branch 533, Perth Amboy, NJ Address: 277 Route 46 Branch 522, Fairfield, NJ Address: 55 Jackson Dr. Branch 521, Cranford, NJ Address: 506 US Highway 46 Ste A Branch 525, Teterboro, NJ Address: 1585...

New probe most likely. They must remain wet. It will be obvious if after calibrating it drifts all over the place. Mike, I've got calibration fluid if you need it

There definitely was no release of silicates! Although silicone caulk contains the element silicon, for it to be released would be a total destruction of the chemical structure of the caulk…..not going to happen unless you’re burning it. However, part of the curing process is the release...

I apologize for repeated posts, but I keep on seeing more. I’m thinking while typing…duel injectors with a pump putting out ca 2000 gph…with the plumbing being a “manifold” with multiple tee-offs…and with too many elbows. I’m wondering how much flow is actually getting to the injectors...

Your picture link above doesn’t work, so I went to RC and looked at the pictures there. Now I’m no expert, but I don’t like your unions on the bottom of the injectors. Again, don’t know from Adam, but I just don’t like adding inches to the injectors. But going back to my first post, I’d...

I ran both an MRC 2 and MRC 3 for four or so years.....the best skimmer I've ever run! It sounds like your air valve is crusted up with stuff. Common problem. Unscrew the valve and see if you can clear the buildup and if needed, soak in vinegar. I still have both my MRC's....you're...

3 1/2 - 4 hours. EDIT TO ADD: Just Mapquested from my house in Sayreville.....171 miles, 3 hours 31 minutes.

Thanks for sharing. I’d also swear that my two clowns bring food to the RBTA.

Well you’re about 40 miles away….it’s your call if you want to come down and pick up the tank. Let me know.

Mike, where are you located? I might have a 75 you could borrow. Paul

I have two that I just recently received (from my adult son) this past December. As far as I know these are full-grown at maybe a touch over 2 inch diameter. I can tell you that mine have not walked from their original locations they had when I got the rock. This surprised me with one that...

HAIR ALGAE Kevin, the Mexican Turbo has mowed down all the hair algae and, with the tank bare bottom, I’ve discovered what snail poo looks like…..little light brown pellets. NEW LIGHT That new light is phenomenal. What an improvement in quality over earlier Chinese fixtures….aluminum...

Excellent point Kevin. I wasn’t even thinking about that…..Doh!
