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.
Showoff! :grin:
Olivier, very nice pictures. Definitely some of them would have been up for winning POTM.
I guess you’re not going to be playing with your RBTA anymore unless you are wearing gloves. They actually have the same stinging mechanism as jellyfish….nematocysts. And they can...
Anyone else having problems searching RC. I’ve tried the past few days and keep getting this message:

1. HOW TO FIX SCRATCHES IN AN ACRYLIC TANK - Using a circular saw with a carbide blade, cut that piece-o-crap acrylic tank up and use the pieces for baffles in your new glass sump/refugium. Next, go out and buy a glass tank. You will notice, using this method, that the scratches are now truly...
Hey, watch what you are saying….you now need to apologize to that herd of cows you just passed on the left. You hurt their feelings, and if they get upset….no milk, and therefore no cheese!
They are talking about a durso standpipe that looks something like this home-made one:
In the top of this drain pipe is a little hole that keeps the drain from starting a siphon. If that hole is clogged or underwater, a siphon could start. Here’s a picture of the top of a durso drain...
I’ve decided to go LED. However, before making this decision, I had already purchased new bulbs for my T5s. So I have two ATI 54W Aquablue Specials and two ATI 54W Blue Pluses still in their boxes. These are four unused new bulbs. Asking $20 each.
Epoxy stick.
If you can take the rocks out of the tank momentarily, I'd also drill a hole in each of the two pieces you are joining and insert a plastic rod (piece of plastic clothes hanger). Then put the epoxy around where that rod is located.
HERE is an example from Premium Aquatics.
Wow! You like to take a big gamble.
When you say “percent,” do you mean percula?
It’s hard to tell from the fuzzy, dark photo, but that could still easily be a maroon……. that doesn’t look that small.
If you try to put this guy in your DT, have nets ready to try to separate and protect the...
Like you are going to be the only one!
Can someone give me a hand spotting Steve…..it’s like finding Waldo!
OK, one day away…..I’m starting to get really envious now.
I have a chef daughter and her boyfriend is also a chef….so I don’t cook. The two of them stopped in New Year’s Eve and prepared a five star dinner for guests we had at the house. It was magnificent….filet mignon, halibut, shrimp, scallops, twice baked potatoes, risotto with mushrooms, etc...
Ditto
I have Kenya and Green Leather…..maybe a few zenia still hanging around after I did some house cleaning about three weeks ago. Here’s what the mamma leather looks like. I can easily frag off a part…..it’s getting too big. I’m in Sayreville and you’re welcome to whatever I can pull...
Part of what determines your return flow rate (how big a pump you need) is the overflow rate you have. Obviously you don’t want to put more water into the DT than what the overflow can handle. As an example, lets assume your overflow handles 700 gph. You want a return pump that supplies less...
I’m not so concerned about the pump….more concerned about where that water is sent. Where does your sump pump eject that water? Most that I’ve seen, it’s just outside the basement wall on either foundation plants or turf. In either case, the salt will poison the soil and kill those plants...
