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.
Déjà vu chemistry lab class. That’s the black stuff covering most chemistry and biology lab benches. You do realize it does require oil rubs every so often to maintain that shiny surface.
Anyway, there’s a soapstone place up in Hackensack. I’m sure if you google soapstone and Hackensack, you’ll...
Just transferred from the 46g bowfront to the new 90g tank and moved the lights over. Lights were working fine on the 46. The lights are a retrofit IceCap 660 running four, 4 foot t-5’s. When we go to turn on the lights, they come on for a split second and then go off. What’s wrong?
Zoysia does just fine in NJ…if you want that look. It will overgrow almost anything…and yes, it dies back on the first frost, turning tan/brown. One word of caution, it is a broad leaf grass and weed killers, like weed-be-gone (sp?), will kill Zoysia as well.
Great meeting!
As usual, the food was plentiful and fantastic.
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Wohler for opening up your home to a bunch of reefer geeks. The talk by Dr. Vagelli was also very interesting. I am willing and ready to volunteer to be his cabin boy on his next expedition to the Banggai...
After spending a week down in North Carolina, we finally finished up the plumbing on the back of the tank. Onefish usually updates this build, but he so wants to get this build up and running, he is in the process of filling the tank as I type. So here’s the finished plumbing on the back of the...
The foam is either polystyrene, polyurethane, polyisocyanurate or a mixture of these. If it comes in a can, the likelihood are the last two, and most likely just polyurethane. There is a gas that gets entrapped in the closed cells or the foam that will outgas over time, but the release is sooooo...
The stand looks great. Nice job!
How do you like the weight of that thing? We just did one for a 90 and skinned it with ½ ply...it weighs a ton.
Your skin looks pretty nice. What did you use?
You could put a strainer on the bulkhead going to the pump. Or, if you have an in sump pump, on the pump. Here are examples of strainers:

I think some of what you are asking boils down to personal preference. To go canopy or no canopy.
Now, for my random thoughts:
To quote you, your current canopy is fugly. Is there a chance you could re-work that canopy by adding new doors, some molding, a new paint job? You already have a...
That is the same day as the NJRC monthly meeting. This month it is being held in Little Silver. If interest, register to attend (non members are welcome), and stop in. It’s always the newbies who win all the raffles anyway.
Happy Birthday!

Here's something similar, but it is an in-sump pump. Note the tee comes off the return line and returns excess flow to the refugium on the right. Out of view is the valve at the end of that perpendicular line. Hope this clears it up:
First off I would not attempt to meter a pump by using a filter sock.
Address the actual problem. It sounds like one of three things:
Pump too big.
Sump too small.
Feed from the display too slow.
If you want to live with what you have now, I would put a tee in the return line (coming from the...
Ferrigini…..lol
Just for clarification, two cars; one a Ferrari 430 and the other a Lamborghini. Each one of these cars sells for over 200K. I don’t know about you, but the last time I looked in my driveway, none of my vehicles sell for 200K. For that fact, all seven cars I own don’t total up...
