    Red/blue ribbed worms?

    late to this thread but "welcome to njrc!" if you have a plethora of bristle worms - you could be overfeeding. If you absolutely want a fish to keep them in check - a coris wrasse might help. I think mine is gut-loaded from eating worms. Some inverts like an arrow crab will work too - but...

    Serpent Star / Brittle Star...found in overflow

    So anyone else have this problem? It went missing around July 4th and I assumed it was scavenged. It was suggested to check under the LR and I knew for certain it wasn't there since it always extends arms out to eat. Well today I decided to get on my step ladder to check the rear overflow...

    Setting up a 120, need help!

    120 aga here. I would say you're going to hear conflicting opinions on the tangs. The two you have selected the tang police would usually recommend a 6 gallon sized tank with some strong flow. I tend to think there is no straight "formula". I mean a 120 with mounds of LR may not even be...

    Hawkeye's AGA 120

    After 3 months and assuming it was dead - i found my serpent star in my overflow. Who knew they could climb over? I also found my sea cucumber back there - that's the second time. I'm about to give up on this sea cucumber. I finally got my tunze multicontroller set up - fun little thing. But...

    love the barrels. Did you consider getting some more of the dolley/caster wheels? regarding the big rock - you could consider splitting it with a hammer. Or just leave it as it is. I dunno - the marco rocks are a little hard to aquascape without their flat pieces.

    FS Tunze Magnet 6200.50 NIB (Metuchen)

    Not so much a deal or steal but I'd prefer to deal with members. Description: http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=T6200.50&Category_Code=Tunze5859 I bought this brand new (still in the blue box) and I picked it up at MACNA from Premium Aquatics.

    fire dept just left - don't buy cheap powerstrips

    wow good to hear everything is ok though (besides the unlucky power strip that is).

    pests: mini shrimp?

    lol - no worries. Amphipods/copepods - all you need to know is that both are great for the tank.

    Aquarium Controller Reviews?

    i just realized the link in the sticky is broken. I fixed it: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&/topic,10738.msg100580.html That stated - getting personal experiences here is probably what you are after - and sadly I cannot give you any input. ::)

    hang in there! everyone has ups and downs in the reef tank.

    Does this seem right?

    I think you mistyped your specific gravity - 1.035 right? getting down to 1.026? Salinity as mentioned above is measured typically as ppt (in a refractometer). just stabilize the salinity swings and i'm sure the growth will follow.

    What fish can go together?

    a pair of true percs and a royal gramma are perfectly fine. dwarf angels like the coral beauty or the flame might be a suitable pick- but both have occasionally been reported to be non-reef safe. the hippo (when small) is fine - but will be a pig and huge as an adult.

    Live Rock USA

    TBS is no longer open to the public. frankly i don't even know why they bothered with a "store" given all the diving/shipping and transporting between 4 people.

    pests: mini shrimp?

    Whoever blogged this is wrong - that is not a copepod. That is an amphipod. Very common in all reef tanks.

    Mint red Acan

    no problem. I was also thinking about bidding but then was wondering about how the shipping goes...congrats!

    Mint red Acan

    fyi: To improve the likelihood that the coral arrives on a weekday and does not sit at a shipping facility over a weekend, products won on auction will be shipped on either Monday or Wednesday, after payment authorization for the item has been processed. We may also choose to hold the shipment...

    apple computer made me really mad

    They probably get tons of pressure from management to reject warranty claims. Bottom line is they make money by charging you and claiming it's not covered in the warranty. I wonder if merv could chime in as I know he works at a store down in southern jersey. One of the prime reasons why I do...
