Does anyone in the South Jersey/Paulsboro/Gloucester County area know a good reliable Carpenter/General Contractor that will do work in Paulsboro?
We have not had good luck in the last few years with contractors (including being ripped off twice).
We live in a 1927 Dutch Colonial in Paulsboro...
I have would have thought someone would have come up with this sooner... but Bulk Reef Supply has come up with a Phosban and Carbon reactor (single and dual) based on the parts from an RO unit, with the media going into the refillable cartridge we would normally use for DI.

I have 2 small pieces of Orange Monti, if I place them right next to each other touching will they merge and group into 1 larger piece.
Anyone know a place in South Jersey I can pick up a replacement Mag 7 impeller. Not had good luck lately, broken 2 in the last 3 months.

For size reference this pom-pom Xenia is 8 inches across by 16 inches high.
Does anyone has an 342 TDS NaCl reference solution for calibrating a TDS meter. I want to adjust my DM-1, its reading a bit low. I haven't found any locally, and I would rather not wait until the Group Buy is in.
Strangest thing I have every seen in the 15 years I have been doing salt water tanks....
My 90 gallon tank back was covered with coraline and I have never had an issue growing it everywhere. Have to scrape from the sides all the time.
I woke up this morning and over 75% of the coraline on the...

Although I am new to "reefing", I have been running FOWLR tanks for years, so from a "hardware" point of view I am pretty confortable with equipmnent. I started a project to move my current sump for my display 90 to the basement. After reading many comments in here and seeing the fantastic post...
As some of you know, we are very big campers, and spend much of our time camping in the endless mountains of Northern PA and NY. Even turning 50, we still are tent campers and enjoy it, but the packing up and setting up is now taking a tole on my back.
We are looking for a used Pop Up camper...
