Just don’t get my wife involved...should it be ecru, cerise, taupe or maybe mauve...does anyone know what colors these are...I don’t! I think white makes the mind feel happy.  All lights that I’ve seen have fancy reflectors made of super shiny material.  Painting your canopy white will make you...

Just switched out a 4 bulb Coralife compact unit with an IceCap T5 unit. It’s like we put in all new corals. Everything is popping out with vibrate color that just wasn’t there under the Coralife. My obvious suggestion, go for T5’s.

Had a similar proplem with my DIY durso...the little hole in the top had salted up. Used a toothpick to clean it out...problem solved. When the hole gets clogged, water rises until a syphon begins, causing that flushing action.

Yes, there are air bubbles...another problem we're trying to resolve...we think it's the spray bar return??? Are you suggesting that the presence of bubbles promotes some unknown creature?

This saga all began at Ed and Jen’s house during the September NJRC meeting...our first meeting...when the raffle portion of the meeting concluded with the final item, a 660 IceCap ballast. And the winner was.......Ed. However, it didn’t end there. Ed commented something to the effect that he...

Re: November Monthly Meeting; Sunday the 23rd What town? ??? Edited to add: Sorry, just found the address on the RSVP page.

Inky the day after

Wendy, details...Did they jack the tank or jack the stand that the tank was on? If they jacked the tank, how did they get the jack under the lower lip of the tank? Whooo...after typing that, I can’t imagine lifting an edge of a tank with more than 15 – 20 gallons of water in it…at 8.3...

Here’s another shot…I know not the best…but using less zoom. These things feel like a regular old mushroom. Thanks

A bunch of pieces of a mushroom looking dark brown things are growing in the tank on some of the rocks and on the glass. The underside is more grayish in color. When plucked out of the tank, they look like cooked mushrooms you’d have with a good steak. Pictures aren’t the best:

Not sure what zoo recipe you have, but if you use this one: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=9048.msg85779#msg85779 NO! Can't dip LPS's.

I would not attempt to move the tank with all that weight. However, I would be more comfortable rigging the stand, slightly lifting it, and moving the whole shebang that inch and a half. Then again, I’ve jacked up houses before to put in new main beams that were eaten by termites.

Concept, thanks for the feedback. I really like this manifold idea. Looks like all HD stuff...regular pipe stuff, except for the black split-end flex pieces. Now here’s the question...where do you buy them? And also, pipe size and number of inlets...looks like maybe ¾ inch pipe with six of those...

Definitely not II...pretty sure it was Silicone I that was 100% silicone without the biocides.

Newbie Question…the next project is a custom 90g tank (five feet long) with half inch glass.   Also, it is unknown if the glass is tempered…so I’m looking into picking up polarized film or sunglasses to determine if it’s tempered (reference...

I have only used “aquarium” silicone, purchased online for a good price.  For the couple extra bucks, it’s worth it, knowing you’ve got “clean” stuff.  Read some of the threads where creatures are dying and they can’t figure it out…peace of mind!…(or is it piece??) Now, after saying that, I did...

I am not familiar with these magnets, but if it is nickel plated only, nickel does oxidize (laymen’s term – rusts). If it is a nickel – chromium alloy (around 80/20), oxidation is greatly reduced and could potentially be used in a saltwater environment. However, unless someone could confirm...

Well I would suggest a good raincoat, goulashes and a large enough umbrella to cover your tank. :o Sorry, couldn’t resist. ;D ;D ;D

I believe North Brunswick is serviced by New Jersey American Water. You can probably go on their website and find water quality reports…if it’s not American Water, find out what company and search for water quality reports…they have to submit these to the government. I don’t believe copper has...

New guy here again with another dumb question. Looking to build an icecap lighting retrofit since I have this 660 ballast. I know I need reflectors and endcaps (and obviously bulbs), but I don’t know what the standoffs are for. Do I need to buy these as well...and what do they do. Damn I’m dumb!
