thanks! I will definitely check that out. I actually prefer the battery - with two young kids - I'd rather not have fuel around.

Personally- I'd love one like the tunze 6212. Not because I think it's required -but because I think it would be neat. But if you're talking about a multi-controller like the tunze 7095, - it's not necessary -though again I will likely set up my tank with one. I just wish I was ready to go when...

Vincent - most inverts that are lucky enough to get their eggs fertilized (without getting eaten) live only to see the babies join the rest of the soup that is known as zooplankton in the ocean. Zooplankton feeds off, well, off other zooplankton and phytoplankton, neither of which is plentiful...

the aqua c remora is known as a pretty good HOB skimmer. Can't answer the roominess question on the skimmer though. Height-wise I recall the seaclone to be ugly as heck.

Is it a Mag 9 or 9.5? I can't find a listing for a Mag 9. Anyways - I will take the contrarian point of view and say that a Mag 9.5 (at 4') head, may be sufficient. If you're just using it to get water down to the sump for your skimmer - then you're better off scaling the return pump to...

First you have to navigate the world of patents- then release it. Until it's patented and someone agrees to distribute it, it's just another person's pipe dream. For all we know the ballast to power that light is still the size of mini-coop.

question on the generator - gas powered I assume? how big should one have? I don't have one but last year we had some power outtages - and while brief, I'd like to be prepared.

Good question - I had to look up njtransit to answer that one. Unfortuately no - dunellen is on the raritan line and metropark is on the princeton line. Believe it or not I have never taken NJ transit yet. Only been in NJ less than 2 years and driving has been the name of the game. If my job...

I always thought James Earl Jones had a great voice. Oh wait a sec...you're talking about the breathing eh? ;) Sorry - a moment of levity in a serious thread. Hang in there!

Do people still even drive route 1? Sheesh that road is grid-lock city when everyone descends on menlo and woodbridge and the turnpike/gsp. Hmm - you're a little far southeast of Red Sand. To get to it you'd have to get on 287 - take exit 5 or so and go local straight north. When you get to...

WElcome all! Derek - we need a "FTS" on a separate thread.

I live in Metuchen so depending on where you are in Edison you are probably passing me...lol. I would try Red Sand in Dunellen - it's not that far - again depending on where you are in Edison (north or south). No website - but check out the forum for Red Sand for location/times info etc. I...

i'd put it over the sump. I also don't think that advice is advanced reefkeeping. ;)

Product-wise... I only have experience with tbs LR and while personally i found it a lot of fun to study the hitchers - it's not very "turnkey". You will get great color and some neat hitchers (serpent stars, manacina species brains, christmas worms), but you may also get unwanted hitchers -...

What kind of pumps/lights are you running? Something to consider would be finding more efficient pumps/lights. They will be more expensive -but may help out in your temp fluctuations. Keep in mind the fans will help but also increase the rate of evaporation.

I think danny's 180 is BB. The folks that believe in BB are pretty adamant. On the other side of the coin is Bill and those who believe sand is an integral part of the tank. We have a thread like this every so often. Frankly if we didn't, I'd probably have a lot less posts to read...lol. BB vs...

yes totally agree!

Birds Fan - where are my manners. Welcome to NJRC!

we should suggest that as a topic for a meeting - a Vinegar test on HD brand sand!!! Next time at harryk's place. ;D ;) :) (just joking on using your place)....

I'm surprised retailers don't jump on the bandwagon and start selling everything with it.. if i saw cylopeeze "new and improved with garlic" - i'd be all over that. :)
