    Electricity!

    The water should be just fine, assuming the pump actually didn’t blow out it’s oil…and that would be obvious. Electricity is long gone! (That assumes it's unplugged. :grin: )

    Frag a Leather

    Just cut off a piece. I then stick a toothpick through the leather and now tie it to a small rock or frag plug using thin string. Some use a rubber band, but if the tension is not just right, it rips the leather. It takes about a week for the leather to attach. Oh, one more thing...no...

    Coral Growth and Fragging

    Trimming plants cuts off the apical meristem (the end of the plant), that otherwise inhibits lateral plant growth. You don’t have this mechanism with corals. They are individual animals in a colony. However, that being said, fragging some corals will cause for branching, and I’ve also read...

    Tropic Marin Biocalcium 10lb - Free - Sayreville

    This was originally put into “Don’t Break the Chain” by Sunny (Monroereef) and I now have gone with two BRS dosing pumps to dose two-part. So it’s back in the mix for free. HERE’s the link to info about TM Bio-Calcium. Here’s what Sunny originally posted, with the exception that PU is in...

    AQUASTUDIO NYC actual shop pics

    Cool! My only complaint is the store is named Elos…New York. When did they move Milburn to New York? I thought it was in New Jersey. :p

    How to remove RBTA from live rock?

    I have used a plastic citrus peeler….cost about a buck. The one end is like a curved screwdriver. Use that end to gently prod the foot of the anemone.

    Inherited 90

    If I remember correctly, senility rules! I can’t remember what I had for breakfast, and someone asks me what my parameters were the last time I tested. I don’t know! Or should I say what so many say….they were “normal.” So to combat my aging brain, I cracked out one of my old lab...

    What the... What kind of perverted snail ritual is this?

    Yep, looks like a three way to me! Or maybe it’s the Flying Wallenda Snails doing their acrobatic act.

    George, I don’t think it’s coral wars (i.e. sweeper tentacles.) Here’s a picture of the brain with a chalice to the right and a knob coral just below. The chalice has been “pushing” the knob and will eventually win out. The chalice also recently made contact with the brain, and...

    Watch Your Water!!!

    Yep and Yep! If it were me, I’d either buy the specific chloramine blocks, like THIS ONE, or pick up a CANISTER and CATALITIC CARBON.

    Watch Your Water!!!

    Lost said it, your RO membrane will remove chloramines. If you are a Nervous Nelly, you can switch out your regular carbon blocks with “catalytic” carbon. This carbon will also remove chloramines.

    I think I might have found the cause for the above “whiting” of the mille (and now part of my brain as well). I installed two BRS dosing pumps about a month and a half ago, and I noticed that the calcium portion is only down about 2/3 when compared to the alk. I did calibrate both pumps, so...

    I hate when this crap happens! Woke up this morning to find my teal milli with a couple of branches RTN’ed. With the beautiful weather today, I haven’t tested the water. However, I’ve prepared 30 gallons for a water change tomorrow (typically do 15 gallons/week).

    Fully QT'd Purple Tang - Colts Neck

    OK Jason, here’s how I’d play out this weekend: Tell your lovely bride that one of her Mother’s Day gifts is a fish that is as beautiful as she is. OR, better yet, tell her it's a surprise that is representitive of her beauty. You wanted to get a present that represented her beauty. This...

    How to remove a fish

    Here’s my bottle trap. Cut the top off a soda bottle. Cut the opening so that your fish will fit through the hole Flip the top piece over and push it into the low part of the bottle. Using a paper hole punch, punch holes around the diameter through both the top and bottom parts….three or...

    This weekend! Make a trip out of it and stop off at Delicious Orchards…..mmmmmm….apple cider donuts with fresh apple cider…..with me, it never makes it out of the parking lot.......I might have to make a trip. It’s right on Route 34, close to the intersection of Route 18.
