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.
That's pretty cool! I was always fascinated by cephalopods and would have a cuttlefish or two in my tank....if only they lived long. Their life span is too short for me. My one question is how did they get this to the surface without it exploding....178 atmospheres!!!!
In the past we gave to the Coral Restoration Foundation in Florida, started by Ken Nedimyer, who actually came up and gave two separate talks to our members. I’m pretty sure some of our members traveled to Florida to spend a day or week assisting Ken and his team to grow frags to reseed the...
Looks like a zoa eating nudi! Some confuse it with a berghia nudibranch which tend to be whiter, larger and have more "legs." The other sign is if you have zoa's they tend to close because of the nudi's eating them.
I never understood the mentality of people with snow and having to buy bread and milk. This is especially true in our area of the country where snow covered roads are typically cleared within 12 to 24 hours. I'll guarentee that if I were to go to our local grocery store, the milk and bread...
Joe, you can get even better TDS if you install a three way valve on your "drinking" unit between the membrane and the storage tank and use the water produced from there. Drinking units rely on breakthrough TDS to make the water palatable....it needs the TDS. By using the valve and letting...
LOL....in another post you said you visited The Hidden Reef in PA and I assumed you were a "local" and would be close by. I was going to suggest you stop by and I'd take a look at what you had. Texas just might be a touch too far. :oo:
When the news story was sensationalized by announcing "Comet heading towards earth" it caused me to look up and pay attention to the story. But once they said it will miss the earth by 1.8 AU, I went back to what I was doing. That's around 167 million miles, give or take a million miles or...
Actually you are correct....they put out a mucus net to catch detritus. I mistook it for sweepers. I typically see it at night. It's one of the reasons I dose calcium carbonate (DIY Coral Snow) at night, hoping, albeit anecdotal, it clogs up their feeding and they starve.
Good chance it's a Vermetid snail. Google that and see if it looks like the one you have. They are a sessile snail that sends out sweeper tentacles that could sting close corals.
I'm going to assume you have forced hot water heat (although it could also be steam, but not very popular in houses today.) Just as long as you're not blocking the bleeder or balancing valve, you'll be fine. FYI, bleeders and valves are at opposite ends of the baseboard runs.
Don't necessarily need a Gryphon bandsaw. Could use a bone cutter to nibble the dead parts away or a rotary tool (Dremel) with a diamond blade. I have both but probably too far away for you.
Wow, Phil is still kicking! Welcome Phil. Anyway, before you go and start taking apart fittings, I'd run a snake up your pipes. I was shocked to see the vermetid snails and other hard creatures that were in my 1 1/2 overflow plumbing....after about 12 years:
Believe it or not, that...
Too early to say, but I'd be happy with equal quality. I purchased two Jebao's last October/November and they have run flawlessly thus far. This was before the Trump tax and I could buy three Jebao wetsides for the price of one Ecotech wetside and have money left over. I haven't looked at...
