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.
Hoping to make this. If I do, I'm very interested in rides on the canopy lift. Are these included in my membership or is there an additional charge?
Also, am I allowed to make fighter plane noises during the ride?
So, started breaking down the 90 and the nano with plans to settle into an AIO. Looked at the options, and needed something this weekend. Craigslist stuff didn't pan out so at the last minute I went in and grabbed an Innovative Marine 25g shallow reef with stand.
Picked it up from ACC and John...
ACC is huge on livestock and corals. Across the street is Tropaquarium, which is great for tanks, equipment and misc. (they're actually in Ocean).
Both are worthwhile stops.
Plus you can stop in Wegmans when you're there - best food shop in NJ imho.
And if you like beer, bring a growler as Kane...
Dry rock - $1 pound
Live rock - $2 pound
Medium to large mixed rock, no stick.
Tank, Stand, sump, return pump - $150
Deep Blue reef ready 90 with single corner overflow , custom oak stand and canopy, custom sump, return pump and lines. You need to pick it up and clean tank.
Tunze Care...
Drinking stories shall continue.
ATM I'm deciding wat I want to downgrade to. Trying to find a used IM Nuvo 20 or 25 lagoon. May have to buy a stand or get one built. I'm probably going to keep the mated clowns and a few softies. Once thats decided and some action taken, which may be a couple...
Thanks all. Trio, appreciate the offer, but the move is still in the 'lets start looking at houses soon' mode. Tigs, if I do sell the clowns, they're a mated pair.
Was planning on keeping the 10g nano I have but if I can find a deal on a Biocube or sell the 90 to cover the cost of a 28g Biocube...
My 90 is doing great. Just put in a new RK Lite, the new Razor 48" light, a McCosker Wrasse 6 weeks ago, a long tentacle purple anem 2 months back, a few corals from Sunny and Horse.
But it's been a struggle over the past few months maintaining the tank. Kindergarten and sports started, I've...
I had aome a while ago, think i gave them back to Kev, but i'll check.
Also, bringing many bags of Cheto, Kato, Cheetos, or however the heck you pronounce it.
Not going to hurt to increase waterline above the pump. Just be sure that during a power loss the sump has enough space to contain the overflow. Shifting the pump slightly or putting a rubber mat under it may help. You can find 6"x6" sheets of gasket rubber in the 'orange' or 'blue' home stores...
Overly expensive tank, 5 'packs' of salt for a 6 month supply (a water change once a month?), no cycle, 13 gallon volume, 3 fish, mixed corals, marketed to beginners.
I figure that in 2 months, if they sell 100 tanks, there will be 300 dead fish, 400 dead corals, and 100 Fluval tanks on...
