    26Gallon Rimless with new Picasso pair

    if you are in princeton - isn't going to tinton falls out of your way? I would consider stores like allquatics or the hidden reef closer. Mind you I have never been to either so not sure if they would be better than trop (been there). Sorry to hear about the accident with the anem.

    Setting up a 120, need help!

    I didn't come up with the idea. The pvc home was intended for the jawfish - (they refused). I think because it's better suited for the bigger blue-spot jawfish instead of my pearlys. Anyways - my firefish took up residence. I'm not sure if multiple ones can fit...you could try...

    Red/blue ribbed worms?

    late to this thread but "welcome to njrc!" if you have a plethora of bristle worms - you could be overfeeding. If you absolutely want a fish to keep them in check - a coris wrasse might help. I think mine is gut-loaded from eating worms. Some inverts like an arrow crab will work too - but...

    Serpent Star / Brittle Star...found in overflow

    So anyone else have this problem? It went missing around July 4th and I assumed it was scavenged. It was suggested to check under the LR and I knew for certain it wasn't there since it always extends arms out to eat. Well today I decided to get on my step ladder to check the rear overflow...

    Setting up a 120, need help!

    120 aga here. I would say you're going to hear conflicting opinions on the tangs. The two you have selected the tang police would usually recommend a 6 gallon sized tank with some strong flow. I tend to think there is no straight "formula". I mean a 120 with mounds of LR may not even be...

    Hawkeye's AGA 120

    After 3 months and assuming it was dead - i found my serpent star in my overflow. Who knew they could climb over? I also found my sea cucumber back there - that's the second time. I'm about to give up on this sea cucumber. I finally got my tunze multicontroller set up - fun little thing. But...

    love the barrels. Did you consider getting some more of the dolley/caster wheels? regarding the big rock - you could consider splitting it with a hammer. Or just leave it as it is. I dunno - the marco rocks are a little hard to aquascape without their flat pieces.

    FS Tunze Magnet 6200.50 NIB (Metuchen)

    Not so much a deal or steal but I'd prefer to deal with members. Description: http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=T6200.50&Category_Code=Tunze5859 I bought this brand new (still in the blue box) and I picked it up at MACNA from Premium Aquatics. This...

    fire dept just left - don't buy cheap powerstrips

    wow good to hear everything is ok though (besides the unlucky power strip that is).

    pests: mini shrimp?

    lol - no worries. Amphipods/copepods - all you need to know is that both are great for the tank.

    Aquarium Controller Reviews?

    i just realized the link in the sticky is broken. I fixed it: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&/topic,10738.msg100580.html That stated - getting personal experiences here is probably what you are after - and sadly I cannot give you any input. ::)

    hang in there! everyone has ups and downs in the reef tank.

    Does this seem right?

    I think you mistyped your specific gravity - 1.035 right? getting down to 1.026? Salinity as mentioned above is measured typically as ppt (in a refractometer). just stabilize the salinity swings and i'm sure the growth will follow.

    What fish can go together?

    a pair of true percs and a royal gramma are perfectly fine. dwarf angels like the coral beauty or the flame might be a suitable pick- but both have occasionally been reported to be non-reef safe. the hippo (when small) is fine - but will be a pig and huge as an adult.

    Live Rock USA

    TBS is no longer open to the public. frankly i don't even know why they bothered with a "store" given all the diving/shipping and transporting between 4 people.

    pests: mini shrimp?

    Whoever blogged this is wrong - that is not a copepod. That is an amphipod. Very common in all reef tanks.

    Mint red Acan

    no problem. I was also thinking about bidding but then was wondering about how the shipping goes...congrats!

    Mint red Acan

    fyi: To improve the likelihood that the coral arrives on a weekday and does not sit at a shipping facility over a weekend, products won on auction will be shipped on either Monday or Wednesday, after payment authorization for the item has been processed. We may also choose to hold the shipment...
