    How to Keep Your Aquarium Cool in the summer months

    Without taking out the old calculator and physic books, the heat transfer rate/dwell time would greatly limit the above application. I think you would be better off putting this coil in as big a container you could fit into the refrigerator and fill it with water. Custom make one out of...

    PM's sent to Mad and Bill. Still plenty left. Thanks.

    FREE - Clove Polyps - Sayreville

    Rod, I believe the only way we can settle this is if you take a large clump of these so that you can study them up close and personal….although I’ll first have to verify that you are, in fact, an “expert.” ;D

    FREE - Clove Polyps - Sayreville

    Being the expert I am, with multiple years of experience :o, I shall clarify this mess. In searching “Waving Hand,” I am directed to two different corals on liveaquaria. One is Anthelia: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=597+599+694&pcatid=694 and the second is Xenia...

    Opinion – Wavemaker function on Reefkeeper 2

    So I’ve been using the wavemaker function on the RK2 for little over a month and, about a week ago, I noticed one of the new Koralias is running backwards. I know this was common with the old Koralias, but for some reason, I thought they had straightened this out with the new ones. Spent the...

    Aye Captain. And how many would you like me to beam up?

    Light brown/tan clove polyps. Looks like flowing hair in the currents of the tank. Free! Here’s a picture of the colony…I’ll pick off a clump if you’re interested.

    Do GBTA’s Get Big?

    (Qwik, James is talking to me....I’m a Paul too....he got his RBTA from me....but if you two guys can work something out....I know nothing.) James, the red guy we have has only split once....and you have that “baby.” And I’m terrible with time, but I’d guess I’ve had red for about two-plus...

    Do GBTA’s Get Big?

    These guys are maybe one inch across while my RBTA is about 4 - 5 inches across. Why are they spitting while the red is happy and not splitting. By the way, Red was fed when the Greens were fed.

    Do GBTA’s Get Big?

    I picked up a Green Bubble tip from a local NJRC member a couple months ago (one street away from me)…thanks Bill. Anyway, I feed the little bugger whenever I thought about it…maybe once a month or so. So about a week or two ago I thought it split…still relatively small, but now two small...

    Does anyone skim part of the time?

    I agree with adding a dedicated outlet for the tank...and have them make it a 20 amp breaker. mnat, if my code recollection is correct, NJ requires microwaves to have a dedicated breaker. Call your landlord and ask him if he/she would fix it.

    Bubble Algae Beast

    Again, good advise! I’m nursing number two right now. One more and I’m cured…or something is cured…who cares. Now where did I leave that jar of olives? If it is but one spore, that is one spore too many! If you wish you may come over and count my spores. I’ll make the martinis while you are...

    Bubble Algae Beast

    Now we are talking some useful advice. I’m not sure how this is going to get rid of my bulb algae problem, but maybe after a few martinis...who cares!

    Bubble Algae Beast

    I had picked up bubble algae a couple months ago from frags I had picked up (no names mentioned), and was then very vigilant in plucking these emerald gems out of the tank every time I say them. About 2-3 weeks ago I thought I had them beat. Today I look in the tank and see this beast sticking...

    Heaters???

    Having two Mag pumps, a 24 and a 9.5, and with the lights on, my heater does not come on.  But at night, when the lights are off, it does. We've had this discussion before, but grounding probes only protect you.  They actually could be the cause of killing off your fish.  By providing a...

    Happy Birthday Paul (RedFishBlueFish)

    Thanks everyone for the well-wishes. I’ve reached that age where I’d be willing to trade the “happy” with pain-free Birthday. With the sports and running I do, rolling out of bed in the morning is agony, and with each passing year, it gets worse. I sound like a moose in heat with the grunts and...

    Hydrogen Peroxide dosing

    Hydrogen peroxide is a very strong oxidizing agent. I’m assuming you are using the stuff you get at your local drug store…I think 3 percent. Unless you are directly applying this stuff to the subject algae, it is immediately consumed once added to the tank. In the pH 8.0 or so, hydrogen...

    What type of Media do you use in your Mechanical Filter ?

    My first choice is to get rid of the mechanical filter all together. If you do keep it, I’d get rid of the sponges. Unless you are cleaning them with get frequency, they just trap stuff. Let the biology in the tank/sump/refugium “eat” this stuff and get rid of it.
