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.
I'm a bit befuddled by any loss in the quality of the ROX .8 carbon. The stuff is mostly used by people in higher places than us (i.e. scientists!). If scientists found their ROX .8 source was of dubious quality, I think that would have filtered down to us low life types by now. Of course if...
I must agree with your comment on their salt prices. I used to make runs from north NJ to Hidden Reef to pick up salt for myself and for a few other local reefers. My favorite salt was made in Baltimore, MD by Marine Enterprises., and you just couldn't beat HR prices on it as their shipping...
How does one get notice of these behind-the-scene's tours? Is there a Jenkinson's mailing list?
My favorite behind-the-scenes tour was at Coney Island. They had a walkway running over the shark tank. The smell of ammonia was almost enough to completely knock you off of the walkway...
My...
Sad indeed. Sounds as bad as when the Chinese restaurant in their same (hidden) strip mall caught fire and put them out of business for 6+ months. That event cost them all the livestock they had in the store, and totally water damaged everything else. At lease that first event resulted in...
Reading this thread brought back an old chuckle to me. Many, many years ago (when the group was more northerly-NJ-centric than it is today) we engineered a Group Carbon Buy. Each buyer purchased a 40-lb bag of the no-commercial-name stuff. I was involved with the pre-purchase testing as I had...
Wouldn't it be cheaper just to get new rock for your new build? With the new rock in, you could do whatever is necessary to kill all the bubble algae on the nano rocks and put them in the new build when they are clean.
Is your reef overrun with unwanted and evil sea squirts and/or colonial ascidians?
Fess up! I know some of you have this terrible affliction!
If you are plagued with them,, here's the answer to your prayers:
And, here's the link you need...
Indeed, it sure would be nice if Michael kept new arrivals in his systems for two weeks before he offered them for sale. But that would put him two weeks behind the curve on his income...
It must be noted that "you know where" has strict guarantee limits on 20+ specimens they consider to be "restricted-expert only". That means that if your "expert only" fish is dead in the bag when it arrives, you can get a refund. But if your "expert only" fish dies in your tank 2 days later...
Earlies this week I, and a fellow reefer, placed an fish & invert order with NYAquatic. The dollar total was $400. NYAquatic is in Yonkers. They ship via UPS Nest Day Air for $22. The $22 shipping is less than I would pay for gas and tolls to go there myself - I'm an hour away in North...
The first order I placed with them was for 8 Dispar Anthias. One came in dead and with a photo they quickly issued me a credit. I discovered the credit had an expiration when I went to place my second order. My second order arrived OK. I now have an order there waiting for me to pick it up...
I didn't pull the trigger. The seven tests I was interested in were going to take total of 14 vial slots.
If I had known that RHF was going to tell us all to ignore testing Magnesium, then I could have eliminated 3 vial slots and been under the 12 vial limit of the new Bot.
So it goes...
