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.
I really cannot complain much since I did get this fixture new for $90, Deep Blue SolarXtreme 48", 4 bulb, T5 unit.
The first problem, right after i got it, was one of the led bulbs went out, smack in the middle. I wrote the manufacturer and they made all the arrangements
to replace the whole...
Four days ago I noticed that Cyano was creeping up in the tank. I haven't had much time lately to really be on top of things so I added some Chemi clean and an aerator. In three days the cyano was gone; I turned on the skimmer and it went nuts even set to off.
Last night I put the Kent carbon...
Sad news. As of October 2012 the magazine will stop publication. I have been subscribing for a few years and they recently took over FAMA. Now both will be gone. Just a shame.

I have a 150g preformed pond and cannot keep the water clear. I am using am old large canister filter in which a pump sits on top and draws the water into it. The pump is broken so I decided to use a mag9.5 placed in the pond with a hose to the canister filter. I have rocks on the bottom of the...
I am looking for a new camera, nothing fancy just a point and shot for family pics. The one I have now is old and a long delay for the flash.
I was looking at this reviews were not great but figured I would ask anyway.
The camera is a Fuji Finepix JZ250 Digital Camera
Thanks,

Went seining with my son yesterday in Keyport. Not much there mainly spearing but the last haul we found a baby oyster toad fish.
Looks exactly like this.
I have been hanging on to this for an upgrade but that hasn't happened and not sure when it will. Anyway, need to make some room now that my grandson has arrived and is taking over my house....LOL
Not sure what to ask but will start with $75. If this is too high willing to negotiate as I...
A few months back I posted PetsMart was clearing out the salt section and I picked up a 150g mix of CoralLife for about $20.
Well I picked up another for $11.
I have posted a few times now my hair algae problems. Tonight I scraped all the HA off the overflow and back glass in preparation of the inerts I m getting tomorrow. I kept the pump by the overflow off and the other side on to get as much loose HA and crap through the filter sock and into the...
I got a yellow scroll coral from Tom, Tgee, but it is not doing well. I will post a pic tomorrow and someone that can properly care for it can have it for free. It is not first reply first gets it; I will decide who it goes to.
I can bring this to Saturday's meeting.

I noticed that my 4 head frogspawn had ab entire head missing this morning. I found it on the sand and its all extended and looks fine.
Why did it drop the head and how do I re-attach it to anything?
Thanks

I have this Nac7 skimmer for a few weeks now. Every time I swap out my filter socks the skimmer goes nuts for quite some time. I even unplugged it for a few hours but still no good. I managed to calm it down by pulling up on the riser tube and then slowly pushing it down over the next 24hrs...
I pulled these pieces out about 2 months ago because they covered in hair algae. I soaked them in a peroxide water solution.
I don't plan to re-use them so if anybody wants theme let me know.
Now that I have an awesome skimmer I am trying figure out a way to cut done on potential algae issues. I have placed my invert order in the group buy. I currently run my lights as follows:
4 bulb 48" T5 - Blues come on at 9am and whites at 10am. Whites off at 8pm and blues off at 9pm.
Should I...
Just thought I would share with all you.

I am trying to figure a way to make my daily manual dosing easier. Let's assume I dose ALK, Cal, vinegar, and Mag at 20, 20, 30 and 40ml respectively. Let's also assume my 5g ATO last 3 or 4 days before I have to add more water. Can I multiply the daily dosage by the number of days the top off...
