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 had a problem with one "key" on my keyboard and as an interim i just used the "ease of access" service that is on windows to launch the on screen keyboard (which you could use your mouse to 'click' the key).
but can you post up the amazon link for this keyboard? curious. thanks.
So I'm running T5 lighting and i'm not too impressed with the combo i have.

Also I stupidly increased the length of time the lights are on and it burned a few of my corals...sigh. The Red table/idaho...
what happened? last i read you were turning the mp40s on constant to see how that goes. Also did you end up keeping or removing the carpet anemone?
At the end of the day though it's all about whether the hobby is stressful or you have a minute to enjoy it. You have a lot of cool and interesting...
i know there are potential diseases with the ones that are caught off the shore/north carolina etc. I caught tons of the obseleta nassarius right off of sandy hook, NJ. The kids had fun messiin with them and the hermits. But no one i know caught any disease. Of course we gave all the kids...
i like the pyramid bflys' - really different than what one normally sees in fish tanks. Did you get them as a pair? My only experience on them was seeing them on the wii game Endless Ocean. Lol.
the solar wrasse is amazing. I assume you have a top for your 120? did you make it yourself?
i've seen folks with nanos like the jbj/bio cubes add an additional powerhead inside the tank for added flow. I used a koralia nano but if you had the money I guess an mp10 vortech would work quite well. The other suggestion i've seen is to use a larger maxi jet for the return (assuming you...
a 10% water change is the bare minimum in my opinion. The more you can do/ afford the better off you will be in the long run.
I also think blue legged hermits are more harmful than helpful. They are cheap though compared with scarlet hermits - which are supposedly the ideal hermit (less...
yeah if i were still single and i lived in NY again - i'd go. It's a straight drive up I-87 in NY. I drove by walden, ny many a time on my way to college back in the day.
Of course when i was single -who knew what the future entailed? I wanted to do it but I was like i'm renting an apt in...
More chaeto needs to be harvested. Anyone interested let me know if you are near the edison/metuchen area - or if you are around Warren (just northwest of OGII).
Otherwise I'll ship it to you but ask that you pay the postage plus a buck or two. $8 gets you a gallon.
They are selling this stuff...
Sorry for the hijack - but talking about HK led me to some other stuff:
I asked the nj dept of wildlife about permits/exporting stuff back to the US from HK and was told to talk to the feds.
The TSA supposedly will let a "live" fish enter and not stop it per the liquid rules.
But the US fish...
really? and you didn't post any pics of tung choi street????
I found this online....
Hmm that's too small for my preference. let me see if photobucket is better.
I want to say that I have seen them sold live in wetmarkets in Hong Kong, but this was like 2 decades ago.
Anyways that stated parrotfish are *generally* herbivores. Ciguatera is a disease that is most pronounced (supposedly) when eating top of the line food predators on the reef.
I hate it when the media messes around with the content and makes up their own headlines.
the correct headline of the original journal piece that was published is:
Historical Reconstruction Reveals Recovery in Hawaiian Coral Reefs
The abstract is also very interesting:
"Our results challenge...
i just got my fourth quarter weekend on-call schedule and I am working that weekend. if i can find someone to cover for me I will swap dates/and attend. Right now though I am unfortunately a negative on attending.
