That would work for me. Otherwise, I'm heading South around the second week of Feb.....but not nailed down yet.

Joe, I'm interested....but the distance is concerning. Do you ever head North?

I’ve got them….or I might have to say, had them. It seems like they are disappearing. If I were to guess, I’d say my wrasse is sucking them right out of their house. Does anyone know if wrasses eat vermitids?

So this morning I go and take the recycles out to the big bin outside, and dump them in. I’m out there for a few minutes, getting an empty gas can that I need to get filled, and I hear a noise coming from where I just dumped the recycles. I’m thinking there’s an animal in our recycle bin...

Float valves will fail. To be on the safe side, slap a water alarm above the waterline of the Brute. These things put out a shrill similar to your wife’s voice. As a matter of fact, if this alarm goes off and your wife is home, you’ll hear an echo effect of the shrill of the alarm and the...

I started to finally categorize the wildlife in my tank. I’m starting with the fish. I have two clowns….one a black and white, the other a mis-barred orange. Now here’s the question……these are false perculas / Ocellaris Clownfish, aren’t they? Here’s a picture:

Just got the robo-call......no school in Sayreville tomorrow.

Another thought just came into my little beanie button......when is the last time you calibrated your refractometer? Could it be that your salt concentration is off? Just a thought, but not worth two cents.

You might also wish to try a large water change....say 50%.

I’m not sure how you came up with 15 inches. If I look at simply trig with the known information, a height of 15 inches with 120 degree optics is spreading that light to approximately 52 inches. That is a whole bunch of light spillage. That is, a single LED bulb is emitting a cone of light...

We got the robo call this morning (at 5:30) that schools have early dismissal in Sayreville.

Nicely played Earl! So you know what that makes you...in my opinion? :o

I do not know anything about raising jawfish fry, but I’ve got to believe you’ll need some very small food source when they hatch….something like rotifers. If you don’t have a colony already going, I’m thinking you’re in trouble.

I’m technologically challenged. I barely own a cell phone…..I typically leave it at home next to the regular house phone. It certainly isn’t smart or “I” or whatever…..it’s a phone! If I do use it, I CALL someone, because it’s a PHONE. So anyway, here’s my question: I answer a post on...

I'd almost think that that would be too much. Are you sure the LED's are running at 3 watts. So many 55 LED units with 3 watt LEDs are actually running at 2.1 to 2.2 watts (120 watt units). I would also think that that would be enough light as well. JMTC

Well, that's debatable....she did make ONE mistake! :o :grin: :grin: By the way, the tank looks great.....and that's clearly not a mistake.

Joe, I thought it was a typo in the PM you sent me, but General Hardness (GH), is a freshwater test. General hardness is actually measured in saltwater tanks through magnesium, calcium and alkalinity tests.

Heat up a coffee cup of RO/DI water in the microwave. Using a turkey baster, give the little SOB a shot of boiling water. Using this method, no chemicals in the tank.

HERE is Randy Holmes Farley Two Part recipe for alk, calc and mag......and HERE is recipe 1 simplified, without the chemistry crap. There are many reef calculators out there, but HERE is Bulk Reef Supply calculator, as an example Justin, if you bring over two 1 - gallon jugs, we'll make up...
