    Puffer & Butterfly

    I had a valentini puffer. It did not bother the CUC at all. It played nice until I added some SPS and it decided to take the tips off. Maybe I didn't feed it enough...or maybe it just wanted to chomp on something to wear it's teeth down. The plus side is that the fish had a wonderful...

    Would you buy a leaking tank?

    I wouldn't. You can pretty much buy tanks at cost if you wait for the right time. Most shops sells them close to that since their profit margins are all in the livestock. They make more money by selling tanks to people who buy the livestock. At least that's how I see it.

    NJ law for license plate / bike rack question

    Hey all... got a question related to the NJ law on obscured licenses plates. We plan on going to the shore later in the summer and I plan on bringing a pair of bikes along. However if I read the NJ law, I believe that by adding the bike rack/hitch, it will partially obscure view of my plates...

    How to get a Tang to eat from a veggie clip

    I use Ocean Nutrition Green Seaweed that is already garlic enriched for my powder brown. The stuff smells really good....my wife thinks I've snuck some food downstairs when she smells it. ha ha ha! The fish also refused the clip just like yours. I did the LR rubberband trick. It did not...

    Yes sorry i meant during the day it was always out and about. However at night it retreats to a place to sleep.

    2 Firefish better than 1?

    I think the standard firefish is a wonderful addition and a beautiful fish. I had one that stayed in a burrow I had built for my jawfish. They do like boltholes/places to hide for sleep. If you have one already the second will probably just sleep in that same spot.

    Indonesia bans coral export

    I agree with you supratt that corals need to be protected. But I disagree that this law helps to do that. Consider the flip side of the coin is that the ornamental industry does help support local livelihoods in places that probably would not have any income. Like the poor fisherman in...

    LFS you shop at

    The hours posted for that store (sea gems ) are interesting. Closed Monday/Tuesday. open only from 4pm to 7pm Wed and Thu. They must really rely on word of mouth because the average person walking by will just find a closed store. When I head down to OCNJ later in the summer...maybe I can...

    Yellow Tang Woes

    The clip doesn't always work. I have a powder brown tang that refused to eat nori from a clip. I ended up using garlic infused nori, but wrapped it with a rubberband on some live rock rubble. Leave it in the tank and replaced as needed. Bottom line the tang recognized the nori as food, and I...

    Club sponsored - Group Buy. Attempt 1

    I think salt would be a mistake. Years ago salt made sense since it would be cheaper than what we could pay at a LFS. However over the past decade I've seen how large online retailers are able to reduce the price point, be exempt from tax, and then ship to your home for free. Furthermore I...

    Marketing material - brochures

    Great job. Would like to see what the other side looks like...to jeremy brito's point, it would be great if the other side is something eye catching that would draw folks to our club.

    Marketing material -please vote. Urgent

    I voted #3. But I was curious if we had a more three dimensional pic of choice #1. Not that it matters. They are all great but it looks like #3 is the clear winner.
