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 was going nuts trying to clean my the glass in my BioCube. It's curved, which makes it hard, but it was also getting calcified green algae, which was hard to remove. Neither the mag float nor the steel Kent scraper were doing it. I went to the hardware store for single-edge blades and instead...
I have a couple of big Lumenarc Reflectors with 250/400W SE MH Sockets, plus a ton of free bulbs. Does anyone still use MH? Doesn't have to be for reefs! We don't judge! Anyway, $50 for both or $30 each because I'm a tool.
I'm getting rid of some external pumps
Iwaki 100RLT somewhat rusty but works fine $90
Iwaki 100RLT very rusty still works fine $75
Pan World NH200PS $80
Kangaroo 224 pump with 2 new tubing sets $25
Is there any interest in older VorTech MP40W WWD Drivers? I upgraded to the new style drivers which work with the Reeflink. They could be used to convert non-wireless MP40s to wireless MP40Ws. Would $20 each be too much? They are easy to install.
My 10-year-old Kenmore is dripping water all over the place and I want a new fridge. Anybody bought a fridge they like lately? No Sub-Zeros or built in-ins, that's out of my budget!
I had a Christmas List request for an Xbox One and could not find it discounted anywhere cheaper than the current $349 "promotion" . I ended up buying a discount code from a guy on Ebay for $7.99 which took $100 off the price at microsoftstore.com. I had to check regularly for a couple days...
Selling off my old reliable ETSS1000 skimmer and pump, $325. This is a huge skimmer, 5' tall which can handle a large tank, say up to 300G. This skimmer is a proven design! The manufacturer, AE Tech, is still in business in NY state. (www.superskimmer.com) The skimmer has extremely sturdy...
NOW is the time to test your equipment -- not when the power goes out! I just fired up my generator and gas sprayed everywhere! It would have been a very bad thing to see at 2AM in the dark.
After some messing around I figured out it was a stuck carburetor float. Thankfully it was cured by a few...
Very nice show floor, good facility. Not as big as ours and the raffle is poorer.
Saw a Julian Sprung presentation on plants in the aquarium, mostly true plants like seagrasses, he kind of droned on and put me to sleep. Marc Levinson did a good presentation about sumps and general plumbing...
I have been informed by someone that I am required to purchase for them a Concept Rowing Machine for a certain holiday or anniversary. These things are $900 on Amazon. Does anyone know a source to get one for less? I would even go used if it was in good shape.
PS: My suggestion that "We live on...
Somebody gave me a 29G Oceanic Biocube. Before I spend a couple hundred bucks on a stand and other stuff to set it up, does anybody have any experience to share with these tanks? I haven't used a wet/dry filter since 2000!
One of you guys came over to buy frags this Spring and very thoughtfully brought me some rotifers. I can't for the life of me remember who it was. We talked about feeding them the paste. Who has the rotifers? I think I'm going to have seahorse fry soon! Need to buy some.
