    Salt Mixing Help

    Arguably the single best piece of equipment I've bought for my tanks. One of the few pieces of equipment I use regularly over years and never worry about.

    Salt Mixing Help

    Agreed with 1/2 cup per gallon... BUT! You also need a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meter to determine that the RODI is producing what you need. You may already have one built into your RODI, it is usually a small box with a digital display and an in/out slider. When switched on and on the 'In'...

    January 2018 Meeting

    If we're doing a coral auction/trade the cube with the heater would be a good thing. No need for RODI in it, the frags should be well sealed (or they can be clipped to the edge of the tank. Guess the big question is - are we doing an auction? If so, do we have a vendor and picker-upper?

    Looking for help cutting acrylic

    Joe, I’ve got a table saw and chop saw with blades that should do well, i cut my previous sump sections with them pretty accurately. If you want to stop by at some point we can give it a go. M

    Raccioppi83's 40 Breeder Reef

    Follow instructions. In the case of Chemiclean 'just a tiny bit more' can mean disaster. Also, the tank is under a month since setup. Cyano and diatomes are expected, if they didn't happen it means something is wrong. Might be worth just doing water changes and riding it out. Shame to start...

    Jenkinson's Aquarium Update

    Per Jenkinsons. I'm in and happy to cover the staff that helps us out. If no other NJRC staff replies, as its such short notice, I'll cover the costs myself if need be. Head count is going to be tough on short notice, but when we did a tour last year we had approx 20. I would guess we would have...

    DIY Easy cheap algae scrubber

    Its a hang on fuge, so its near my return. Don't think it matters as long as its in flow, near surface, and under light. If I still had my traditional under tank sump/fuge I would have clipped it somewhere near the surface close to my light. If the stuff grows on dividers, return heads, pumps...

    In the water. Actually, last compartment near top of divider. Just put a second one in just past my intake and a bit deeper to see what happens.

    DIY Easy cheap algae scrubber

    So, I found a pack of a dozen these at AC Moore, in the needlepoint area, for $4 or $5... Tried to use them for some projects in the past, but recently decided to try something as simple as possible. I took a butter knife to them and roughed them up... Then I clipped it in my fuge...

    Mark's IM25 shallow reef

    Thanks, Though I don't consider it rockwork, I consider it jammed in zoa growing space. :) Seriously I think I have about 50 pounds in a 25 shallow.

    Razor

    I'll leave it to JB, but if he decides against it, I'll take it. Eventually I'm gonna have another nano and I love these lights. And JB, if you buy it and decide not to use it, I'd be happy to buy it off you.

    Chris, I've got a perfectly functioning RO/DI buddy I've used on tanks from 10 to 90g. All new filters, though will need some new resin soon. Its a great unit if you're interested (and I'm in Brick). Link... I GOT STUFF! don't need. YOU DO! maybe. As per salt, like T said, depends on tank and...
