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.
About three weeks ago I mentioned in my Tale (page 5, posts 43 & 45), that a five gallon bucket of B-Ionic Calcium sprung a leak. It was because the bucket was defective and cracked on the injection point on the bottom. Interestingly, Monroereef also mentioned that the same thing had just...
Please David, don’t remind me…..you’re going to make me cry…….I miss those days where I wouldn’t touch the tank for months! Regular tap water, with a couple drops of magic chlorine remover….just thinking of the little I had to do, now I’m questioning why I have a saltwater tank.
This is...
Weight shouldn’t be a concern. Here is the very large canopy, made with ¾ pine, and with a top on it, that was on a 75 gallon freshwater I use to have:
This was built with a face frame, with solid pine doors....and resting on the top of the tank.
George, looking at your stand, I'd go with two face frames (one for each side) and put two doors....wait, a 75 is four feet....one door on each side. The door would open upward with hardware that would hold it open. I would also leave the top totally open and put whatever braces you need to...
Brandon, first off, WELCOME! You have found a great resource in NJRC. I agree with Jim, if you have the time, consider attending one of our monthly meetings.
I’m assuming your 10 gallon is still cycling, with the picture of the anemone coming from Mom’s tank??
Now in regard to your saving...
Never heard of them, but a quick search found that they hosted MACNA in 1991. I did find the following listed address and contact person, but all associated links were dead-ends.

Whelks are reef safe. However, they will kill and eat other snails and will do the same with a clam. If you have a clam, the whelk has to go. And obviously, if you have a clean-up crew of various snails, bye, bye whelk.
AJ, where are you located? If you are close, I'd give you your ten dollars as well as a nice light green zoa (don't know the name, but it's a good one).
So I have two frag racks in my DT so that my Mexican Turbos have something to play with at night. :grin: Having two Mexicans, I can’t keep a frag in the racks. I’ll place new frags in the rack, and the following morning the rack is empty, with the frags being thrown into the mushroom field...
George, the other way I was considering hanging the fixture, was putting a long bolt or threaded rod in the holes, and then using a spacer. Here is an example of a carriage bolt (I would not use a carriage bolt), with a piece of 1/2 “ cpvc as the spacer. I’m pretty sure the bolts currently in...
Mike, you’re killing me. I hadn’t planned on doing anything, but once you’ve brought it up………made this little cover this morning.
NOTE TO SELF: Pick up screen at HD. For some reason, the screen in our back door is missing. :grin:
George, I have, for the sake of giving it a name, the First Generation Apollo box. It is steel, has fixed cords, push-button switches, and has a very simple cable hanging system. The top of the fixture has four small, machined eyebolts that would clip to a four-point cable. Again, very...
Not sure what Jaco you are looking for, but my HD has a whole section of Jaco and John Guess fittings. Have you tried there. If not, any plumbing supply house should have them. And last, amazon.com if you can wait for the shipment.
