    February meeting

    School play day. 5yo son is a knight, hoping he will rebel on stage, attack the lead, and announce his taking over the play. Probably not. Regardless, won't make it, but appreciate your opening house to us. Enjoy!

    Gyre xf-150

    90G here with a gyre 130. I've got mine set on interval mode - 30 secs on, 30 secs off, 30 secs on, etc. On the opposing side of the tank I have an MP10 on alternating reef mode. Works fantastic, lot of low, great coral motion.

    WTB: amphipods (somerville, NJ)

    Hi Olivier, Saw your other post and call for club donations. I'm sure I speak for many, if not all, in saying thanks for your generosity. I've got a bunch of mixed pods going atm and would be happy to send you a bottle (with some phytos to keep them going). I can load a few hundred but they will...

    massive die off. Please help!!!!!!

    There's a lot more folks here with a lot more experience than me, but with so many losses so quickly and so close together the only things running through my head are: A cycle, Something was spilled into or mistakenly added to the tank, A toxic invertebrate died (anem, cucumber), or could a...

    Mark's Pico reef (6g)

    Thanks all, 1. Beer always helps. :) 2. Didn't build the stand, bought the wood to build it myself, but decided to buy one as I wanted it to look good. 3. I thought pipefish, especially as I raise pods, but they would quickly outgrow the tank. I like the looks of the jester goby, might pick...

    Mark's Pico reef (6g)

    With plague rampant in the house, I spent Saturday doing a bit of set-up. Few more bits and pieces salvaged, plus just bought a new heater and pump. I plan on filling the Aqueon with some rubble, a sponge, and a small bag of Phosban. Stand and tank in position... Kitchen Aquascaping...

    Up-Sizing My Tank (FOUND)

    If i understand you right and the tank had only water in it and no livestock, i'd ditch the old water (and definitely dump the old sand if there is any) and start with new aragonite, add rock, add all new water, and start your cycle. Best to start from a fully clean slate.

    Jellyfish

    Looked into it a few months back as I was looking into dwarf horses. They need minimal to no light (though LEDs are fine and accenuate the colors), need a constant gentle flow to bring food to them (like seahorses), are extremely sensitive to parameter changes (minor rise in ammonia could be...

    Non-reef related sales forum?

    Going to be running a few Craigslist postings soon and am looking for a few items myself (including a 97-00 jeep wrangler ;) ). Bumping this post for committee consideration.

    FS: JBJ 28 LED PRO, Acans, Zoas

    I'll be in Clifton possibly on Saturday afternoon. If I am and they're still about I can pick them up. I might be able to use one of the zoas for a new pico build and can hold the others for adoption if you like, or I can put them into the frag raffle at the next central meeting, which will...

    How does food equate to health

    I'm in the choir. Back room is a zoo of various phytoplanktons, a blackworm farm, and a bucket of copepods. Still making my own frozen - shrimp, clam, krill, seaweed, wild salmon, soaked in Omega and garlic, then frozen. I thaw this out in a small cup of mixed phytos, coral frenzy, a shot of...
