    Sandy Hook (pics from the bay side)

    A few of these temperate nassarius (not nassarius vibex) snails: I believe this is a juvenile menhaden / aka bunker / bait fish. There were quite a few swimming around in like 1" of water. The sand was "clear" but the kids released the hundred or so hermit crabs (every black dot) A dead...

    Sandy Hook (pics from the bay side)

    Last year it was nice for NJRC to do a beach clean up at Sandy Hook. It was scenic and beautiful. With summer here it's interesting how many more cars/people there are - although still not as crazy as say jenkinsons. anyways - on the bay side of the park, the low tide recedes enough to find...

    Monster Algae Bloom off Jersey Coast

    Stop catching menhaden for bait...I see a lot of them out in sandy hook. good ole wikipedia: "The muddy brown color ...and the growing dead zones...are the direct result of inadequate water filtration — a job that was once carried out by menhaden. An adult menhaden can rid four to six gallons...

    Fantasy Football....

    go to cbssportsonline. Then click fantasy (it's like towards the middle bottom) Create an id if you don't have one (i didn't). hit "join for free" - i think it's the option all the way on the right. Then create the team name. I just made something silly up. Find the league - enter NJRC...

    Added copperband and long nose

    hey paul - love the tank and your threads. Did the copperband check out the beer can and expect imported instead of domestic? ;) I forget what brand you have in the tank.

    Tunze 6100 and 7091 controller

    for the record - tunze no longer makes the 6100. the 6100 and 6000 are identical in every way, shape, label included - except the hockey puck driver are different sized. Many people think they have the 6100 because the label says 6100 - but that doesn't define the type at all - it's the hockey...

    Tunze 6100 and 7091 controller

    you sure it's the 6100 and not the 6000? the difference is that the 6100 utilizes that larger sized driver (think hockey puck sized). The 6000 uses the smaller driver (think air hockey kinda). I assume the 72 gallon is 4 feet long? if so I'd place it in the back right and aim across the tank...

    TV series for us fish/reef geeks

    I just flipped it on - and ok - when they start putting fish in the car/tank - the guy describes the puffer and says it has an extra long snout to get at algae behind the rocks, I already lost all respect for him. I thought all puffers are carnivores? I don't pretend to know everything so...

    BTA lighting question

    mark - unless you place the BTA at the top point of your tank - i would skip it. buddy of mine has a 90 gallon and pc lights - and the bta plopped itself so high up in the tank that it was exposed everytime a water change was done.

    Testing Kits

    you're going to get various opinions on this. rather than focus on the brand - I would just suggest you focus on what to test: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=8356.0 if the tank is already set up you can skip the ammonia/nitrite kits. In my humble...
