Thank you! This was a really nice meeting. I've never seen a reefclub with so much prowess and organization! Seriously, I've been to 4 different club meets now (not that it makes me an expert on clubs) and I am in awe of what NJREEFERS is doing and what it seems to have the passion to...

I know this is last minute BUT I recently traded some Yumas for a green/purpleish wellsi (open brain) it is on a rock/skeleton about 4 inches long and 3inches wide. On the rock, there are parts that had receeded before I received it. When it is fully expanded the animal does cover that extra...

Whew, this has been an interesting week! Progress reports, tests, meetings, kids going wild... :) I'd like to thank all the folks I've spoke with thus far for all of their help, concern and spirit. I came in this week to find some major things wrong in the classroom project. First thing, one...

No prob. The 2.5g batch depends on what we're doing. If it's a full water change or if it's just evap refill. The evap refil is RO water I made the night before. They don't loose much water per week due to evap. I just have them keep up on it, to have a routine. If its a water change we take...

After spring break we're going to be looking for people to talk the students ears off about reefkeeping as environmental stewardship/fun hobby in general! I have to find out the schedule for the first week back from break and what schedule we have for midterms (2 wks worth of testing). We have...

wow, I'm glad I never tried these folks out. The prices were just too good to be true I suppose. I thought they would be reputable because they were in some reefkeeping magazine that I liked.

Wow, a DIY, that would be nice. I would need help giving any of them instruction on doing that I think, I have very little experience with projects like that (is it basic cutting of the mesh/acrylic to size and space for the skimmer (we have a Prizm skimmer)). Actually, I have a kid in mind that...

Sure thing! I have an RO at home and make the water in 2.5g batches in deer park bottles (the bottles hold 5g but it's heavy...). First I made 10g worth of fresh RO water only, then 10g batch of water taken straight from my tank in order to speed up the process (when we first started). Now for...

Hey everyone, One of my students finally got around to sending me one of the pictures on his iphone! This is a bit ago when we were setting up. The tank has mushrooms and brown palys in it now. We're going to wait a bit before putting in the frogspawn. My Earth Science class in poses for the...

Yes, I do have internet access! I was excited about that when I arrived here. Hm, the students aren't allowed to touch the animals. I know students often do things they aren't supposed to do, but usually they are only allowed to feed and do water testing/cleaning, and then we use gloves...

Wow, thanks for the great and fast response folks! I'll be pm'ing an individual response to each of you by tomorrow morning. We're doing HSPA testing this week and it's OMG CRAZY! Btw, East Side is much better now. I just started this school year, but we've had maybe...10 drills started by...

Wow, I just wrote this huge post, went to post it and was asked to log in again...and now it's gone...wow. ... Sooo, Some of you may know, most of you probably not...But I am a science teacher in Newark NJ. I teach comprehensive science and Earth Science to 75 students aged 14-18 at East Side...

Hey, they are good folks. Helped out in a swap up in Maine with another forum I was with, they said good things. I was thinking about trying a GB with them for the white colony of dendros. didnt see they just put single polyps out. Can't wait to see what micros they put up. What are you...

hmmm, anyone interested in carpooling/giving me a ride? Cherry hill is about 1hr 34 mins from my area which is in N. Newark. I could drive to someone's place then hitch a ride from there? As long as I'm back home by like...6ish pm. It would be my first NJRC meeting if that helps! I'm an ok...

I want a field of LPS. All acan, micro and other LPS types and colors with random Leather corals where ever it is safest. I want hippo tang, and powder blue tang, and actually...most reef safe tangs I like. Mandarin fish, sexy shrimp, RBTA/GBTA. Not too many fish, mostly coral. Most movement...

btw, the growing coral looked healthy to me...

Hi, So, all of a sudden I've noticed an uprising of amphipods in my tank. I saw about 4 tiny ones this morning. What is bothersome is that I saw those 4 hanging out in my 'wall hammer coral' (instead of branching type coral). The issue comes in that two days ago, the section they were sitting...

Thank you for a thoughtful reply! I only have a few minutes so i'm just going to respond to one thing: If they numbers are high, how do I fix that or does it naturally fix itself after a few weeks. What should I be doing to ensure my tank is on the right path. I will post tomorrow what units of...

ok, can't do that, but is there a newb section here? I did a quick check, but since I have time I'll go a bit indepth in a few mins. Maybe I'll just make one post with a subj. of GENERAL questions (ongoing), since topics with fresh posts are bumped up folks will always know when its active. my...

I actually want to hang it from the ceiling but this is a newly rented apartment. The other options are more likly, I just don't like the way it looks. I guess in the end it really is the only option. Just wanted to check the minds here, to make sure that's all that could be thought up, while...
