I think I've finally found my long-lost Enteromorpha intestinalis macro algae. I've been looking for a source for years. This macro algae is supposed to be "pantropical", meaning it grows in most oceans. But no other sources on the web seem to be able to supply it, including specialized...

Here's another hoot for you all... Koji Wada is a gorgeous (and not inexpensive) pink Japanese nepthea. I once recollected that somewhere I saw a reference to it being named after the Japanese marine aquarist who originally provided frags of it to someone here in the USA. (A story like a...

Interested. Where's the local pickup?

Hi Herb, Congratulations on your retirement! Enjoy! I hope you're within driving distance of a few LFS. Give my regards to Annie! Bob

That's a much cooler read than mine! Thank you!

Would you take $50 to deliver it to 07039? I'd never get it into my 2-door coupe.

I've bought non-branded membranes before without any issues. Considering how much the off brands look like the Dows, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that whey are actually "white Label" membranes manufactured by Dow.

I've got a 20L in Livingston that you can have. The dimensions are roughly 12H*12W*30L. It has two holes drilled for an external skimmer low down at one end, but the bulkheads are threaded so they can be easily sealed. The last inhabitants were Dart Frogs. It is pretty dirty, but it is free.

Problems like this are why I LOVE my All4Reef. Also, my chemistry guru, Randy Holmes-Farley, recommends not bothering to test Magnesium. He says test results are too problematic to be of any use. Have any interest in a cheap Hanna Magnesium Checker?

Sorry. I'm not sure that I know what you mean by stand-alone lights...

They come with the mounting brackets shown on the page. I expect to mount mine on the inside of the swing-up front of my big old-fashioned hood. I'm looking to get an angle so I can cover the parts of my reef that aren't fully covered by my existing LEDs. Of course, on the inside of the...

Reef Breeders is coming out with a new "Meridian" line of LEDs. As a result, they're selling their "Lumen Bar" line at 50% Off! https://reefbreeders.com/collections/lumenbar-color I just picked up two to supplement my existing LEDs. Shipping was quick.
