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.
Not going to hurt to increase waterline above the pump. Just be sure that during a power loss the sump has enough space to contain the overflow. Shifting the pump slightly or putting a rubber mat under it may help. You can find 6"x6" sheets of gasket rubber in the 'orange' or 'blue' home stores...
Overly expensive tank, 5 'packs' of salt for a 6 month supply (a water change once a month?), no cycle, 13 gallon volume, 3 fish, mixed corals, marketed to beginners.
I figure that in 2 months, if they sell 100 tanks, there will be 300 dead fish, 400 dead corals, and 100 Fluval tanks on...
I've had an idea thats going to revolutionize the hobby - 'Aquarist's Scrub'.
It's a 5" long piece of plastic, about 1/4" thick, sort of like a popsicle stick. At one end there is a group of nylon bristles.
It is used to scrub things like calcium deposits or algae off other things.
It does...
All preference. If you're going to be keeping LPS and SPS corals eventually you're probably going to have to begin dosing. Personally I use Red Sea Pro, a bit more expensive but it's high in elements so I don't have to dose Alk or Ca as much and never dose Mg.
I've varied once or twice but came...
I think Paul B had a post regarding this. He rigged a gfi switch somehow. I dont recall the specific details but I'm sure there's a supermodel involved. Im posting via my phone right now or I would do a search.
Sorry Edwin, didn't get your mail till afterwards.
I bought one of these...

So, asked my wife to help with a water change. She dumped a bucket directly over a Hydra 26. It now does not work. I've cleaned it and am letting it sit for the night in hopes it will work tomorrow.
But, if not, I'll be in emergency find a light mode.
IF this happens:
If anyone is looking to...
I'm testing the water for a friend of mine. He's looking to sell his entire system RSR250 (60g). It's in pristine shape. Tank is 4 years old and his corals and fish look like an advertising display.
Anyways, no pics as of yet. Just gauging interest.

TIGS! Not planning to hijack this, but we should make this a monthly thing and have folks post a pic a day in a single thread.
Trying to come up with a creative naming concept for a forum for your idea but, as I have a rare day off tomorrow, I've have had more than 4 generous servings of Nikka...
I'm currently in a tank blackout. Due to some high temps I lost a few corals. Temp back under control and survivors recovering well, but it left me with a nasty looking brown stringy algae that clumped all over the sandbed. So, as I have a shallow I vacuumed with the latest water change. Forgot...
Personally I never QT. I'm a believer that its stress that lowers the fish's immunity (just like people) and moving a fish from shop to a barren QT then into a new tank with tankmates is mega stress. Especially if you're treating them for diseases they may not have with hardcore chems along the...
Hi Mark. Yep, any shirt shop will be able to print from a jpg or eps.
I had set up the initial order like this:
NJRC T-SHIRT ORDERS
Then compiled a master list of:
name/colors/sizes/ship/pick-up/paid/unpaid
Once you get an order together if you want to send me the names and online IDs I can...
