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.
Here's a list of "peppermint" shrimp. They all supposedly eat aiptasia, but the best bet is with "A". Also, the Camel Shrimp has been mistaken as a peppermint. I'll see if I can find a picture of a camel.
Yep, looks to be a standard 120mm x 25 mm computer fan, the most common fan used in LED lights. I typically buy a multi-pack because it's a common replacement item. HERE is but one example from eBay.
Can't vouch for the plug in because I always cut and solder the wires.
There is one other potential issue with locally collected snails.....swimmer's itch. We had a member years ago who collected local snails. He wondered why he always had rashes, with some requiring visits to the hospital. For the longest time he blamed palytoxins. But after one emergency...
Up at the lake house in upstate NY last night....a little prime rib still on the spit.
What's missing is the smell-a-vision.....the aroma was to die for.
I am no expert, but those two photos look like a young Rhode Island Red ROOSTER!!! Now I'm wondering how many cock-a-doodle-doo's before we've having chicken dinner? The only good news is that they don't start vocalizing until about 4 to 5 months....enough time to find some nice recipes. :oo:
I’m bach’ing it while my wife is on a girl’s mini vacation out on the end of Long Island for a couple days….So I get to make what I want to eat….and I felt like Sausage Ziti.
Now if you're a pasta person, you’ve noticed that this pasta is not ziti, but is penne. The store didn’t have...
If you don't mind used, check out SouthJersey Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, etc. Also don't forget Lowe's or Home Depot....they sell them as well. And if you belong to a club....Sam's, BJ's, and Costco's.
If you can do it, strongly agree with the window air conditioner option. We prefer fresh air over AC unless it's brutal. So I simply keep the windows open in the house and close the fish room and turn on the air in there.
You can easily pick up a 5000 btu for around $150.
Here's A little club history....and yes, suitcasing has happened at NJRC swaps.
In 2008 we had a good sized frag swap in Secaucus....loads of vendors, speakers and a luncheon included. It was more or less our dry run before hosting MACNA in 2009. With the swap going on, a member came rolling...
Definitely was happening! An item I had purchased, the President/Owner was at RAP with a vendor badge (of not his company), roaming the isles drumming up business. And don't ask, I'm not going to out him.
This appears to be electro-chemical flocculation. It involves actual particles, including bacteria, that get charged and then flocculate, either floating, sinking or attaching to other stuff....like calcium carbonate. I'm familiar with chemical flocculants, (and I know API has some product...
