    Tank temps?

    I can only guess…There is a Ranco that is an HVAC company that makes controllers for maintaining heating and cooling.

    Let's Get Ready to Re-Scape

    I thought the stuff Ed and Merv were doing at the meeting was pretty cool. I was impressed and plan on getting some “dead rock” and playing around with this myself. To answer your query ReeferNet, the hangers are not the metal kind. The ones Merv and Ed used are the plastic kind. My concern...

    Here's my Big Office System

    Re: Here's my 120 I feel slighted. You left out one other important question: Should it be the red pump or blue pump? ;D

    Need to borrow a 6' auger Toms River area

    The trap in the toilet is the smallest diameter. I can only guess that whatever went in is small enough to get past the trap, but heavy enough to rest in the 3” below. I have a conventional snake, but Sayreville to Toms River is a bit of a trip. I’m sure you’ll find someone closer. Best of luck.

    Need to borrow a 6' auger Toms River area

    I think you mean a snake. (EDIT TO ADD...my mistake, also called an auger. Sorry.) If a snake doesn't work, whatever fell in is most likely still within the trap/siphon portion of the toidy.  I'd empty the water, disconnect the water line (first turning off the water), and pop off the two nuts...

    Holiday Lighting – What are You Hanging?

    With the holidays here, it’s especially hectic to get everything done. Between tank maintenance, there is no time to do all the shopping, decorating and hanging holiday lights. Here’s a photo of some poor guy who got-r-done hanging the lights. “Honey, did you hang the lights?” “Yes dear.”

    Which Mag Float

    Bill, that's what Phyl is talking about...the Reef Gadget: http://www.reefgadgets.com/scraperorder.htm Not sure if they are still available. Someone else chime in?

    bloated anthia

    First thing, if you have a funky looking fish, get it into a quarantine tank. I’m actually more a freshwater person, so take this with a grain of salt. Is the fish swimming ok…swim bladder conditions cause for abnormal swimming especially going up and down. If that’s ok, then I’d guess...

    AQUAPAWRIUM

    I actually send a letter to the company a while back on this store.  Every salt fish was either dead or near dead.  No one in there right mind would buy any of these fish.  What gets me is that if I kill a rat in my backyard with a shovel, I get a $3000 fine and go to jail...yet they can kill...

    MIA Cucumber

    What an amazing past couple of days. One of the clowns finally found the anemone after 3 months and now, the cucumber that has been MIA since the swap shows up. I was convinced that this little bugger was DOA…been looking and looking and looking. Tonight I go in to check the tank before going...

    cabj1970's old 55G is my new 55G

    Sur4, here’s my two cents: I’m not crazy about two tanks for you sump/refugium.  The U siphon will be a problem***.  If you insist on two tanks, I’d pop a bulkhead in each one and tie them together that way.  This way you minimize the likelihood of loss of flow between the two tanks.  Again, my...

    my 55g

    No Fish!  Your tank has not cycled.  Wait.  If you get live rock, put that in...it will be part of the cycle. Buy a test kit...that's your next step.

    New addition to the family

    You lucky dog.  You obviously have a good looking women on your hands.  Now mine...that's another story...and maybe a different species all together (She doesn't read the forums). ;D

    LMAO….ooooh like this is going to make it crystal clear! With this knowledge, I’ll start building my own computer tomorrow. I did learn a new word….astable. Now with my limited mentality, I’m trying to think of a Jeff Foxworthy definition of astable. With the highest level of respect, you...

    Quick ID

    In all honesty, the picture quality is limiting. Can’t really see the detail to id the coral Here are my off-the-wall guesses from a limited quality picture in order of most likely to least likely: 1. The dead skeleton of some sps. 2. Some white branching sps. 3. If I see purple/blue on the...

    Tiny white starfish too many ??

    Diverrk, I say this with great ignorance...it is what I’ve read, because I know nothing first hand! Pluck an asterina and hand feed your new Harlequin so that it knows it is food. The Harlequin now has the taste for asterina (they say it tastes like chicken ;D), and will continue to eat it...

    My Weekly Problem Column – What is it?

    As a newbie, it seems like every week it is something else. I’ve got a brown/black growth that has just shown up in my 4-5 month old tank. At first I thought it was a diatom problem that I understand is typical to newbie tanks. But it did more than just produce that typical brown covering on...
