Hi all, Sorry to put this in the emergency thread, but I'd like to get this right the first time. I have a 65g DT with a 75g sump. The sump is in the basement, about 6ft below the DT (split level, thru the wall). The whole system is powered by a Reeflo BlowHole 1100 external pump. Tonight it...

I'm trying to figure out a return pump for my new tank setup. I'm setting up a 65 gal DT upstairs with a 75g sump downstairs. Anyone have suggestions for an internal pump that will do more than 13 ft of head pressure ( the last number I got from the rc calculator while I could get it to work)...

Hi all, My wife and I just moved into a new house in Berkeley Heights. After having to breakdown my 46 gal bow in my last apt. (Fortunately before Sandy would have killed everything) we're chomping at the bit to get a tank up in the new house. I'm starting from scratch here, and I'm looking...

Hi all. I have a 46g bow that has to come down by the end of the week. I'm having some problems in my apartment, and they say I have to take down the tank I've had in place for 5 years. The inhabitants are: Pair ocellaris clowns one 6 line wrasse one royal gramma frogspawn hammer torch...

A friend of mine from work is breaking down his small setup (20g biocube I think) He's looking for someone to come pickup his livestock, but he's keeping the equipment. Here's the note he sent me. I have one Ocellaris clown, a pistol shrimp/Tasha haze goby pair and a Catlina goby (I realize...

I just hate those days when you come home from a trip, excited to see your tank and try to find all the little changes since you were gone, only to find one of your oldest and dearest aquatic friends on the floor :( My 5 year old engineer goby jumped sometime while I was away on a business...

I have a friend at work who is looking to drill his tank at home. He needs a 1-1/8" to 1-1/4" diamond hole saw. Does anyone have one to lend? He lives in Bayonne, and we work in Millburn. Thanks Brett

I'm thinking about starting a culture of copepods. I've read that you can pretty easily culture the Tigger Pods from reef nutrition. Has anyone tried this before? Any luck or advice? Brett

I'm looking for some cheato near 07204. Anyone looking to trim some? Brett

I'm looking for a gutted 36" lighting fixture. Nothing needs to work, I'm just looking for the shell really. Looking to pay less than $40 thanks Brett

I've got a trip planned to the Adventure aquarium with some friends on Monday and I was wondering if anyone had been there recently and their thoughts? I was there about 3 years ago and really enjoyed it. Thanks Brett

John, the previous owner of Underwater World in Roselle Park retired. I was afraid the store was closed when I drove by and saw all the tanks gone and the windows uncovered. Turns out 2 gentlemen who's names I can't recall have taken it over and given the store a great new face lift. They're...

I need to replace the MH lamp on my lighting fixture. It's a 250w DE and I'm curious if anyone has any opinions on bulbs. I like a bright look that will also still make the fluorescents pop a little 12K, 14K?? I'm looking at XM, Hamilton, and Ushio's. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Brett

My GF has a D70 that I use more than she does, and I was wondering if anyone had a good macro lens they would recommend. I'm thinking 100mm would be great. Her telephoto zoom has a macro setting at 300mm, but at that point its really hard to get enough light in, even with the halides on ;) and...

sponges growing on the LR is a good sign right? I just noticed a bunch of little q-tips showed up and the handful of sponge hitchikers i have are getting bigger... Red

So i've been having a problem with low alk for a little while. it regularly reads in the KH 3-5 range. I'm assuming this is also affecting my pH. I've been adding Kent Superbuffer dKH, and this helps, but doesn't seem to last very long. I also dose with Reef Vital DNA, Kent Coral-Vite, Essential...

Anyone ever use one of these??? I've been thinking about getting one or 2, it'd still be cheaper than a different chiller.. ideas?? Red

I'm considering adding a HOB refugium to my system, since I don't have room in the sump to add one. Any opinions on makes/models? I am looking for something inexpensive, and I already have a light and pump i think would work. I'm also unclear on how the plumbing works on these things... I've...

So Paper Mill Theater where I work may be closing down soon, so I may be out of a job. I've been thinking of a career change anyway, but I've become addicted to my paycheck and really don't have any idea of what else I want to do (helpful isn't it?) Any ideas? I know it would help if I'd met...

Does anyone have a preffered retailer to by new lighting equipment from? I bought a cheap Odyssea fixture and i want to replace the lamps. I've looked around a little online, but would like to know what everyone thinks Thanks Red
