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.
Karen, great job, but you forgot Tim junior, who pulled on my pant legs mutliple times, and the (maybe) bulldog in the back yard who jumped on my legs four of five times to only attempt unsuccessfully to roll over on his back for a belly rub. :p :grin:
Thank you Tim and family for having us at your house. Always enjoy seeing the old crew as well as meeting new ones. I think the real meeting was in the garage with the new tank. I know pictures were taken, and hopefully will be posted. To top off the meeting, I was a big winner of frags...
I was fortunate enough to be a big winner at this month's NJRC meeting. Here are the pieces I picked up. Sorry for the quality, it's my little point-n-shoot camera, and this is right after a dip in Bayer and fresh water.

Pete, I'm not sure if I'm following your verbage....to be clear, the order should be:
Raw Water --> Sediment Filter -->Carbon Block(s) -->BOOSTER PUMP --> RO Membrane --> DI Resin --> Clean Water
I've been running my RO booster pump all wrong from the time I set it up. I run my booster though all filters. If any of you visit R2R, you are most likely aware of AZDesertRat, who is an expert on RO/DI systems. He posted the correct way to hook up the booster pump. I'm reconnecting...
I'm with you as far as my card being replaced twice already this year from other indiscretions. I haven't gotten a letter yet, but if I do I would simply change my password and request a new card. I wouldn't bother with the monitoring.....just get the new card and move on.
We've had the same problem up here around NYC. The tug boats have been running back and forth on the Hudson trying to keep the river open enough for the ferrys to get in and out of NYC.
Also, my one kid, who lives in Farmingdale, had a frozen pipe in her rental house.....flooded the...
Wow! Great price and nice looking fish. I already have two Zebrasomas in the tank, and a third would be World War III. Good luck with the sale.....this one won't take long.
The first fish that comes to mind are Tangs....they are algae pigs. However, I would never recommend a Tang for a 55 gallon....too small......Although maybe you could squeeze in a Kole....but I'll let the Tang Police comment on that.
Fred, typically not good with pictures, but that algae looks to be grape caulerpa. If you have fish that eats it, it is just fine. Otherwise, keep an eye on it so it doesn't take over your tank.
I regenerate...and DI came from members who otherwise were going to throw it out. So I actually don't know the origin of the resin.....I'm not picky. One canister lasts me about a year....maybe about 20 gallons of water a week.

Sorry Matt, you can NOT put two Zebrasomas in the same tank....they will square off. I'll have to come down and confiscate one of those fish.....I'll be there tomorrow. :o
I know this first-hand because I have a Yellow and...
They do not have to be the same microns as what was in there. However, you do want your first filter....the sediment filter....to have a smaller micron size than the carbon block. If not, your carbon block becomes a sediment filter.
Coconut carbon is carbon made from cooked coconut...
Agree with Saltkreep88......Buckeye, BRS, Spectrapure, and I throw in there Air, Water and Ice.....can't go wrong with any of them. Just find the one that meets your needs.
