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 very saddened by this move. They had the healthiest and least expensive fish around. I don't think anyone purchasing the business will make a go of it - Juan and Cynthia both worked too hard making it all happen. (I also think there were a few things left out of the offer.) I will miss...
A 48" x 24" x 18" is a stock 90G: Aquarium Dimensions - Standard Fish Tank Sizes Chart - Aquarium Dimensions
The only advantage of a 75G over a 90G is that it will result in fewer wet sleeves for you. The upside is that, with the same footprint, you get room for 20% more water. Water volume...
There is a less expensive version of an Apogee PAR Meter if you happen to have a laptop (Windows or Mac). It comes with a 15' USB Cable. It is basically just a sensor that uses a laptop for calculations and output. Apogee has the software available for download...
Aquatic Life does have fixtures in a size that holds 4 60" T5 bulbs. Unfortunately, the lighting industry has yet to discover a way to dim 5' T5s, so you'll have to settle for a 60" non-dimmable fixture.

Do photosynthetic sponges count as "plating sponges"? Over the years I've bought both red and blue versions of photosynthetic sponges. I think both were ORA sourced. The one that I currently have is purple. Go figure...
Let me know if you're coming to this Saturday's meet. If you are...
Gaspare,
I've been considering using them, or a reasonable facsimile from Monoprice. I have a number of tanks in my basement controlled by an unusually large Neptune Apex system. I'd attach them to the beams in my basement vertically and use them to consolidate Apex connectivity wiring...
There are tests/calculators available to determine actual tank volume. They typically involve an accurate salinity test, the addition of a known volume of water at a known salinity, and then an actual salinity re-test. Here's one...
This is for you guys living on the Jersey Shore...
I'm looking for a culture of Moina salina, a.k.a. "marine water fleas". They are akin to fresh water daphnia. They were once sold live by AlaGen, but they stopped culturing them a few years back. The only US source I can find for them in in...
