After 36 years (actually longer because that's as long as we've owned the house) the filter on the 20K gallon tank in the backyard required change. I've been milking this thing the past couple years. This year, on start up, it coughed, and I told the wife I'm not even opening it up. My...

The picture of all those snails reminded me of an incident with a local reefer who collect snails here in NJ. He would break out with dermatitis, and for the longest time blamed it on zoa/paly toxins. A couple times he ended up in the hospital. Eventually....and I'm talking more than a...

+1 on running a refugium and increasing water change schedule.

ACC rents a PAR meter. Don't know what they charge.

There is no need to test nitrite. Nitrite is of no concern for saltwater creatures. Even if you see it's there, it has no impact on the tank.

That needs to be GE Silicone I......NOT II. And you need to let it cure for as long as you can.....3 days in nice, 5 days is better.

Chris, I'm confused....what do you mean you used the bayer stuff. Bayer Complete Insecticide is a coral dip and not a tank treatment. Explain please.

Gee-whiz James, maybe my Goldilocks method of choosing a grill is flawed. The Vermont Casting (closest to you), was tooooo big. The Master Forge (at the end), was tooooo small. But the Ducane (right in the middle), was just right. :grin: The veggies were cooked on the Ducane.

Is that all of it or just a piece. It looks like a section of bristleworm/bobbit worm/eunice worm.

I've resurrected this post because I've discovered a great use for the grill mats. I use to use grill baskets to do grilled vegtables. The problem with these baskets is that they don't hold much. I'd typically had to do three lots of cooking to get the vegetables done. Well, with two...

Mike, I've got a truck if you need a hand....although I'm working Sunday, I could work it in. Let me know.

It almost brought a lump to my throat seeing the title of this post. Glad to see you're staying in the game Mike. For those who don't know (too new to the club), Mike has been one of the most generous members of the club....in goods he's given away and in the time spent with members...

I use to use RC only and switched to IO. In the process, I was mixing the two....and not problems at all. I'm now all IO......because I like my alk low.

Congratulations Ed and Team Josh. I have to work on Sunday, so won't be at the park. Enjoy the day and especially the little guy!

I've had it for the first and last time at the Cranberry festival is South Jersey last year. It looks real good....crispy and delicious...and not bad the first couple bites. But turns out to be real greasy. Let's just say you're a well oiled machine when you get done eating that pile of...

Now I see! Very nice job Juan. I'm liking it.

Pretty cool. If you're a carnival kind of person you might have seen something similar with Butterfly Fries....where they use a drill to butterfly the potatoes.....Here's a video of that. Butterfly Fries Video

NICE! Love the DIY stuff, but I'm not fully seeing how it's going to work. The pH probe can't be submerged and the alk and calc hoses ideally should be in the water as well. And the temperature probe, it depends on the kind you have. If you have the type that looks similar to a pH...

If you keep the sodium carbonate in a tight container you should be fine. Sodium carbonate is hygroscopic and will form a couple different hydrates (and in the process "gain weight" by the presence of water.) I have a pool and buy the largest sodium carbonate container they sell (maybe 40 pr...

Not sure where you got that weight, but the correct weight of sodium carbonate is 375 grams per gallon of RO/DI water.
