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 bought an Apogee USB Smart Quantum SQ-420 PAR Sensor because I found it to be the most cost-effective tool for my needs. It is just the Apogee sensor hardware with its own USB connector. It connects to a PC or Mac computer via USB. You just download the necessary software from the vendor...
I think the worst drawback is their short life-expectancy. Two years is probably a lot for the more readily available species. That's a shame considering they're one of the most intelligent invertebrates available to us.
My "bare spots" are caused by currents from high flow return pumps and powerheads which are typically directed at the front of the tank. You might consider directing such pumps to aim at the water surface in your tank to see if it makes any difference.
I have two $10 off your next order coupons for BRS that I won't be using and will give away to any NJRC members. They expire on 12/31. PM me for the codes.
BRS weirdness? I got an order from BRS today that I can't figure out. I had ordered a Triton Test at 10% off and I expected a $10 "Thank You" from them with the order. There was no coupon, but there was a reference on the packing slip to my getting $15 off for my purchase. WOW! A Triton...
I did a search for the "anemone guard" for the WAV that I previously mentioned, but the only one I was able to locate was being sold on Etsy and is no longer available. I'm surprised there aren't more available considering the volume of guards being sold for other models of powerheads from other...
Aquatic Obsessions (Aquatic Obsessions) in Avenel usually has a pretty complete selection in sizes (incl 5') and in color types. Other shops can't seem to afford incoming shipments. That said, their website says they're closed on Wednesdays.
I've used WAVs in the past and been happy with them. I did replace my four with Octo Pulse 4s. I recollect I liked the Octo's extended guarantees. The earliest WAVs had some issues, but hopefully your two are new.
The only caveat I must pass on to you is the existence on YouTube of a video...
Was the promo card listed on the packing slip? If it was, they screwed up. If it wasn't, perhaps they ran out.
If I have an extra, I'll pass it on to you. The expiry date is 12/31/21.
Looking for functional Octo Pulse powerhead pumps. Want 2 models or 4 models. Looking for either the original model with a controller, or for the newer model without the controller.
Located in Northern NJ, so you may need to ship it to me.
