I've had very good luck with a simple bottle trap. I'm not sure if I showed you my trap, but the secret is to put a hole in the middle of the bottle and squirt some juicy food into the bottle. I then use the turkey baster to occasionally squirt water into the hole. This creates a "snow globe"...

If I didn’t have the yellow, I’d be all over this. People, this is a beautiful fish and at a good price. GLWTS

Thanks Kevin. When you get settled in, give me a PM, and I’ll give you a real monti….nice teal color. Let me know when you're ready.

I have no complaints about Eheim Automatic Feeder. I’ve used it three times when I’ve gone on vacation. It allows multiple feedings per day…..and simple to use.

Good stuff Steve!

Definitely no food coloring. Just regular old granulated sugar….and it is organic, like all sugar. The “regular” mix they recommend is one cup sugar to four cups water. The first mix of the season should be one cup sugar to three cups water. This more concentrated mix helps lure the...

Gee whiz, I thought I was behind the times still having a rotary phone, antennae tv and a true cell phone. Self propelled mowers have been available forever. Welcome to the 21st century you city slicker. :o If you’re looking for a little more exercise, come over and try that new fangled...

Welcome Jim! I'm assuming you're now old and married? :p Start a "Tale of the Tank" and give us the details about your setup.

Well some say to change it weekly, but I don’t do it until it starts to show opacity….sign of bacteria having fun in that sugar water…..and yes, it’s just sugar water.

Well this was a bust for me! I haven’t seen a single hummer and any change in the amount of food in the feeders. Has anyone else witnessed hummers yet? I actually have to clean and change my food because it’s gone bad.

I'm assuming you're talking about a gallon or two that you use to mow your lawn. Easy to get rid of....with 3/4 of a tank or so in your car, dump it into your car....gone. With time, gasoline looses light volatiles. It’s a problem with starting small engines…like your mower. By putting...

Where’s Hawkeye….I think he was the most recent clown-papa. I believe you have to have the baby food ready to go….can’t remember if it was brine shrimp or rotifers. The babies get removed from the parents and are fed the baby food. Hopefully Hawkeye will see this and chime in.

A big +1 And with only misusing the reagents, you’re just toying with idiothood. If you were an experienced idiot, like myself, you would have knee-jerk responded to that so-called low pH and dumped a ton of alk in the tank and maybe some sodium hydroxide and whatever else you could find, to...

How are you measuring pH…..I’d first question whatever you are using to measure pH. At pH 7 you are looking at stuff dieing. So first verify you’ve got a good pH. And as far as you low alk / high calc....they are a balancing act...the high calc will drive down the alk.

Darren, glad to see everything went well. Looks fantastic….as expected.

Look here on Coralpedia.

Thanks to NJRC, John Coppolino, the Elks and all those who donated frags, a clam and an LED light….Feng at Red Sand, John Coppolino, Olivier and Greg (Whitebird). Good stuff! I didn’t see any of our members with their highfalutin cameras (for those who find highfalutin to be condescending...

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Did nothing fancy….went out to dinner and then stared at my AARP card and wondered were 40 years of my life went. Yesterday I was 18 and today I’m……..old! Thanks again.

I’ve never heard of a “refillable” cartrige on an RO unit. They are all fixed filters. Typically it’s (in order of water flow), Sediment Filter --- Carbon Block --- RO Membrane --- DI resin With RO units with a whole bunch of “stages,” you might have two sediment filters or two carbon...
