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.
Good point. I neglected the fact that some keep the tank or sump in the basement. I don't have a basement so the sump is under the tank in the stand. I plan to upgrade to 125 or 150 and was just wondering what others do. I already had an issue with a return pump in which the wire cassing slid...
Didn't want to hi-jack Old Salty's thread. But do we really need heaters for our tanks? Most post speak about the tank getting to hot in the summer and installing a chiller or other methods to bring the temp down. Wouldn't the pumps and house temp be enough to keep the tank at a fair temp? I...
I work for the comapny as Phil and there is no way that will fly. They also have staff come around and check to see if people posted their password under the keyboard, stapler, etc. Usually done in the early morning or after work; I use to do this. Nasty email is sent to your manager if you get...
1) I have had my fill of salt water siphoning.
2) Forgetting about the RO/DI and it overflowing(at least a dozen times). Thankfully I hook it up in the yard.

4) Mixing saltwater and the pump flips up spraying water out of...
I would think that some type of cycle will happen. Some of the live bcateria is in the crushed coral and not in the sand. What you proposed sounds like it will work to me. The only other thing I can think of is putting the sand in shallow containers inside the tank. Each time you take out the...
In have 4 false percs and none ever hosted my frogspawn. I added a GBTA and the largest clown started hostng it afetr 2 or 3 months. So just give it time. The GBTA split a few times and no other clowns host the nems. Go figure. Could be a maturity thing.
Mods if in wrong forum please move.
After many different answers to my skimmer question here and other forums it seems people are split almost 50/50.
So I would like to try a test. My current skimmers I have a mag 7 pump and was told by some a needle wheel pump would improve the skimming or one...
If anyone buys any fish from the Petco in Old Bridge you would need to quarantine it. That place is just disgusting with fish care in my opinion. Many of them have swollen eyes or very dull in color among other prolems you can easily see.
Forgot to mention every fish I have seen had what...
