Float valves will fail. To be on the safe side, slap a water alarm above the waterline of the Brute. These things put out a shrill similar to your wife’s voice. As a matter of fact, if this alarm goes off and your wife is home, you’ll hear an echo effect of the shrill of the alarm and the...

I started to finally categorize the wildlife in my tank. I’m starting with the fish. I have two clowns….one a black and white, the other a mis-barred orange. Now here’s the question……these are false perculas / Ocellaris Clownfish, aren’t they? Here’s a picture:

Just got the robo-call......no school in Sayreville tomorrow.

Another thought just came into my little beanie button......when is the last time you calibrated your refractometer? Could it be that your salt concentration is off? Just a thought, but not worth two cents.

You might also wish to try a large water change....say 50%.

I’m not sure how you came up with 15 inches. If I look at simply trig with the known information, a height of 15 inches with 120 degree optics is spreading that light to approximately 52 inches. That is a whole bunch of light spillage. That is, a single LED bulb is emitting a cone of light...

We got the robo call this morning (at 5:30) that schools have early dismissal in Sayreville.

Nicely played Earl! So you know what that makes you...in my opinion? :o

I do not know anything about raising jawfish fry, but I’ve got to believe you’ll need some very small food source when they hatch….something like rotifers. If you don’t have a colony already going, I’m thinking you’re in trouble.

I’m technologically challenged. I barely own a cell phone…..I typically leave it at home next to the regular house phone. It certainly isn’t smart or “I” or whatever…..it’s a phone! If I do use it, I CALL someone, because it’s a PHONE. So anyway, here’s my question: I answer a post on...

I'd almost think that that would be too much. Are you sure the LED's are running at 3 watts. So many 55 LED units with 3 watt LEDs are actually running at 2.1 to 2.2 watts (120 watt units). I would also think that that would be enough light as well. JMTC

Well, that's debatable....she did make ONE mistake! :o :grin: :grin: By the way, the tank looks great.....and that's clearly not a mistake.

Joe, I thought it was a typo in the PM you sent me, but General Hardness (GH), is a freshwater test. General hardness is actually measured in saltwater tanks through magnesium, calcium and alkalinity tests.

Heat up a coffee cup of RO/DI water in the microwave. Using a turkey baster, give the little SOB a shot of boiling water. Using this method, no chemicals in the tank.

North East Reef Aquarium Conference

HERE is Randy Holmes Farley Two Part recipe for alk, calc and mag......and HERE is recipe 1 simplified, without the chemistry crap. There are many reef calculators out there, but HERE is Bulk Reef Supply calculator, as an example Justin, if you bring over two 1 - gallon jugs, we'll make up...

Jon, thank you to you and your wife for opening up your house to a bunch of strangers. I really enjoyed the small group....made it feel very homey. Tank looks great and can't complain about the raffle.....everyone was a winner.

I just picked up a new computer and would like to transfer the files (pictures and documents), from the old to the new. What’s the easiest way of doing that? Can I simply attach a cable from one to the other, or do I need software or knowledge? Obviously, I don’t have the knowledge! I...

It’s only “approved” for DVW…..(Did I get those acronym letters straight, or is it DWV….whatever, it means Drain, Vent, Waste….not sure of their official order.)

Just like Mike, I’ll be bringing a little “dish” with me too. :o However, my dish will be Walnut brownies. I would imagine most of us will be coming via Route 1. Just watch for all the red-light cameras. There are a boat load of cameras along this stretch of the road, and they’re set...
