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.
It sounds like lateral line erosion

The first thing I’d look at is stray voltage….and then water quality. It could also just be the stress of being in QT.
I’d congratulate you on the pending kid, but I’ve already had three, so for me I think it’s more sympathy……but congratulations on the tank staying within the confines of the house. You’re lucky the boss didn’t have you move that tank right out the door. :p
The rock work looks fantastic from...
Glassholes! :encouragement:
It would be your lucky day if you could use the existing holes for a Glassholes overflow. They would have to be the right distance down from the top of the tank. The second issue is that I would recommend the 1500 gph overflow for that tank, and that requires...
Something is not adding up here. You are using Reef Crystals and not dosing any alkalinity and your pH is 8.8 and alkalinity is 18….doesn’t make sense! Something isn’t testing right.
Your RO filter should remove all chloramines. But if you wish to be extra sure, you can replace your “standard” carbon block with a chloramines carbon block or catalytic carbon in a refillable cartridge.

What's My Error Coin Worth?
I hate to be the poo-poo’er, but I think you are still going to find that it’s not worth much because of the condition of the coin. JMTC.
+1 The coin also looks like it’s in pretty rough shape….like it was on a road where multiple cars/trucks drove over it. I know it couldn’t have been a train, because we use to do that when I was a kid, and the coin would have been flattened.
As far as it’s worth, I’ll give you a buck for...
Don, with our old hosting company, when we put in “www.njreefers.org,” what would show up is www.njreefers.org/joomla. This is what I had bookmarked as a favorite years ago. When we changed to a new hosting company, I didn’t change the bookmark, and when I clicked on that “favorite”, first...
What kind of floor is the tank on? If it’s a slab (concrete), then I would suggest you level and shim the stand/tank. If it is on a floor with joists (wood beams), check the level on the floor. The weight of the tank might have deflected the floor. In that case you could use an adjustable...
Steve, looking phenomenal….the fish, corals and clam! Love those angels.
I also like the clean look of your water storage containers. Where did you them?
One “attaboy” for Taz! But only one. I wouldn’t want him to get a fat head. :p
The one thing I noticed is that the “http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/” is no longer redirected. You’ve got to get rid of the “joomla” now.
This didn’t cross my mind until you raised it qwik. I think I know what tree you’re barking up:
The Coralife/Zilla power strip.
Just averted a Fire Sticky
I'd stay away from local snails. A fellow member harvested some local snails and ended up having multiple skin reactions, some of which put him in the hospital. It took some time, but eventually figured out the snails contained the parasites that cause swimmers itch.
It is just me and my phobias, or is anyone else concerned about introducing unwanted parasites/bacteria/badassstuff into their tanks from wild caught stuff?
