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.
you may want to raise the salinity to 35ppt - or specific gravity of 1.025.
As for ph - 7.9 may be fine. I get 8.4 on mine but that's because i use kalk.
Here's the text that is from RHFarley (It's stickied in the general discussions forum):
As a goal, I'd suggest that the pH of natural...
There is no such thing as a "black percula" unless you mean black false percula....which is a black ocellaris.
There are black onxy true perculas - but they are not all black. Same goes for the picasso.
Therefore a black oscellaris could be paired with an orange oscellarous. But not...
All the credit is to this club. MACNA is what started me down this path. Prior to macna i just wanted an algae-free reef tank (i'm not winning that right now...hahah). But after macna - after getting help from MOFIB (at macna) and hearing Randy Reed talk (at macna) , then being able to buy the...
To counteract the recent deceased clowns I've been getting, I decided to stop feeding baby brine exclusively. I think i took maybe 5% of the entire usual culture I dose. My thought is that they are overeating to death.
Today I started feeding crushed up cyclopeeze and to my great joy - the...
Another 5 went to the great reef sky today.
Still can't quite figure out what is happening. Maybe I'm over-feeding?
I can easily tell the ones that are on their way out. They are lethargic and barely swim, and their dark coloring slowly/gradually gets lighter and lighter and then pale as a...
i barely did anything. magic did all the ground work arranging the calls with the director and getting us into the event. Then ed worked his magic and did like a huge slide show presentation.
The only thing that would have made the night better is if we had like a hundred of those clownfish...
Most of the members of NJRC know that we have a conservation focused' group. I figured I'd post here in the public forum to discuss our most recent event.
I just got back from the members-only event at Liberty Science center. NJRC had a table right by the gift store with a 52 LCD panel rolling...
wow - thanks for sharing the tips. Sounds like you two went thru a lot. I'm really sorry to hear about the losses. The captain of the titanic comment made me chuckle. At least you can still find humor in this debacle.
i've got an open top of my tanks - so that cardboard idea is something to...
This classroom pic, it seems really bare. Did the kids not have cubby holes or anything to put their stuff in? I don't see a chalkboard either - just cork boards. I am ashamed at how spoiled our kids are in school when I look at this pic...
There isn't really any flow - just a bubbler/airstone on a gate valve that is tuned to just bubble enough so that the water is oxygenated.
The fish are really jumpy when they are being fed baby brine shrimp. I learned that with batch 2...and now possibly with batch 3. I guess all that live...
thanks - i don't get how they'd do this in the wild. I'm guessing maybe only a few make it and go thru meta. It must be weird for them all to go thru meta together. What with some fish bumping into them and what not.
