    NJ man arrested/fined for having 4 tortoises in backyard (one was 320 pounds)

    A few years ago someone was posting on CL that they needed a place to house their tortoises for the winter. They would pay you and then you give them back in the summer. The person was also from the Highlands. I wonder if its one and the same.

    all corals are thriving but GBTA is bleaching why?

    The only things I recall reading about bleached nems were poor light but that doesn't seem to be the issue with yours. The second was if a fish, like a clown, was stressing it out some how. Hope it recovers.

    AMC show "walking dead"

    I have been meaning to watch this but forgot all about it. Guess I have to start from the beginning; but it reminds me a book I read a few years ago. The title was "Soulless" and this show pretty much captures the zombie affect just different plot line.

    Home page display

    Not sure what I did but for two days now I can't see who is logged on on the Home page. It use to show that right before the most popular posts. Is there a problem with the site or did I hit something and caused it to disappear. If the latter how do I get it back? Thanks, Mark

    Light bulb question

    Doing some online research not many stores carry the 14000k light. They have the other two and a 12000k; only a hand full had the latter. I don't want a yellow looking tank so will go with the 10000k. If the corals don't survive such as zoas, torch, hammer, frogspawn, etc; then I will stick to...

    Broken RO/DI unit

    Paul, That was basically my question. I am not technical enough to know these plumbing terms. I will try HD and Lowes; if not there two local mom and pop stores I can try.

    Filter sock?

    If the sock is 7" long should be okay. I use 12" felt only because when I bought my holder the guy gave me 4 and then I bought 4 more used. Others can state the difference between them if you are interested as I never bothered to check that.

    Light bulb question

    James, Thanks for all that info. On my survey post nobody has the Aqua Trader fixture more than a few months and a few people I know a few years back said the ballast burnt out after a year. So another member has had this fixture for about 2.5 years with no issue and I plan to get one...

    Light bulb question

    I plan to order a new T5 HO light fixture. They give a choice of bulbs and I plan to go with 2 blue actinic and 2 white. The give 3 options on color temp for the white: 6700k, 10000k or 14000k. I was going to go with the 14000k. Just wondering what others have done.

    Freshwater/Cichlid Question

    I agree about pulling the red coral. Is it plastic or dead coral? In the old days the dead white coral was died, that could be the issue.

    School to donate full reef

    I agree with this statement. My daughter and her friend found turtles years ago and kept them in the science room. During the summer they had special permission to enter the school twice a week and care for them. But when they graduated 8th grade no one was around to care for them. So we ended...

    Anyone got a phosban reactor???

    I have a Kent Phosban reactor a bit old and battered but works fine. Not sure if I have a pump for it. Plus I am in 07735. Let me know and I will try and find a pump in my boxes of junk. Either way you are welcome to it if you want to drive up.

    Where do I go from here?? What to do now???

    IMO I would not add it to the storage container. In my container it created a film. I would add to the sump so it mixes well before hitting your DT. I stopped using Kalk and switched to Kent Tech CB part A and B. I like it much better. B is for Alk and And A is for Ca. Hoped this helped and...
