Re: Bummer – Dead Fish – Need Hood Ideas Here’s another thought, and I need input on this….make the canopy twice as high as I need it. The lower part, with a false front, will rise straight up into the upper part of the canopy, opening up the tank, to be able to reach in. This lower part would...

Re: Bummer – Dead Fish – Need Hood Ideas Merv, nice build! The problem I have is that my lights are maybe 16 7/8 inches wide while the tank width is 17 inches. My hood will be completely closed and I therefore have no room to slide the light out of the way.

I really hate it when a fish dies, and it could have been avoided.  My Coral Beauty decided to go carpet surfing, probably by the two new fish I just added being very skitterish and scaring the CB.  When this pair of Blue Throat Triggers is spooked, they would bolt into the rocks like a bull in...

I am surprised that the NJRC filters don’t take out cuss words, such as “Canon.” There are those amongst us who feel this is a demonic word. Just for clarification, I have a ***** F1 from the good-old film days. Too bad I couldn’t use the lens I have from that baby on one of these newer digital...

Phil, having been born on the northern shore of Long Island (Port Jefferson/Stony Brook), I vaguely remember the older folk seining for eels just off the beach. Now this was in the 50’s, and I was a little tyke, so bear with me. I can remember them pulling in the net and there were obvious...

I agree with Ricwilli, but would take it one step further. I am bothered by the condition of this RBTA. If it dies, it could take down the whole tank. So I would put it in a Tupperware container that is hanging in the tank. Now you have no flow for the RBTA, but can still keep the flow going in...

Joe, can't believe you are getting out....hope it is only temporary. I'm interested in the pair of triggers if they are still available. Thanks, Paul

James, condition number 6. you shall complete the story. What the H happened? I would like to know. Down what drain? I have a vested interst in that this RBTA is a relative of mine. ;D

If you only want a two bulb setup and you don't see the wiring diagram with the 660, see if someone would be willing to trade out your 660 for a 430.  A 430 will support two bulbs. And you are right in that the wiring diagram is what it is.  You can NOT only switch on two of the bulbs with a...

Curt has it! New endcaps and you are good to go. Here's the possible wiring setups for the 660: http://www.icecapinc.com/01/document2.pdf

I saw the title of this post and thought, Inky, the squeeze toy that was part of NJRC’s 2008 frag swap. http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=13065.msg121468#msg121468 Best of luck staying in the game with your new nano. Misery does like company. ;D

WHAT????  Not sure if there is a typo here, but I watched the show in the 60's and the actor was BURT Ward, not Bruce.  Also, if the show was on in the 60's, not sure how he was born in '79??? EDIT TO ADD I think I goofed….I think you were pointing out that you knew the actor’s name and that...

I’m just wondering if there is something up with this year’s migration. As noted, I saw a hummer on May 25 and haven’t seen one since. I also talked to my Dad in North Carolina today, who usually has ten plus hummers fighting over his feeder, and he hasn’t seen a hummer yet. I believe there is a...

Mad, the top is yours….just let me know when you want to pick it up. Also, if you want Raspberry plants, please bring something to put them in….they may be transported bare root, so a five gallon bucket will hold quite a few. If you would like an amaryllis, they come in a plastic pot. Thanks for...

I’m trying to clean the fish shed and the first two things I came across are ten gallon tops and a 55 gallon screen top. These are free and as a bonus you may have as many raspberry bushes you can dig out, as well as an amaryllis plant (I’ll provide the shovel). The raspberries are a Fall...

I was on another site and someone posted up this link to inexpensive SE and DE MH bulbs. I am a T5 user and know nothing about the quality of these bulbs, just that they seem awfully inexpensive. If I did use them, I’d probably check this place out simply because of price. Does anyone have...

Bees aren’t a problem. Ants could be if they can easily walk the distance to your feeder. The one feeder I have hanging in a tree had a problem with ants while the one hanging off the side of the porch does not. There is a simply fix for ants….a moat made from a spray can top. If you have the...

Rod, these are not actors, but are the real Batman and Robin.  If you promise not to tell, I will let you know that Batman is actually Bruce Wayne and Robin is **** Grayson…but again, don’t tell anyone because they don’t want the evil-doers to find out. EDIT TO ADD:  Wow, filters must be set...

I also noticed the spelling error….It should be: Dada Dada Dada Dada, Dada Dada Dada Dada, BATMAN! Everythin else loks goood. ;D However, also realize that the picture you posted is a Batman imposter. Here is a picture of the real Batman and Robin

OK, here’s what I know with my 20+ years of feeding these little hummers: We (East Coasters) only get one variety of humming birds here….Ruby Throated HB. Of the many feeders that I have tried, here are the two that I’ve had the most success: They hold about 1 ½ cups of feed, but I only...
