One of our cats went for a swim once and that's all it took. Now she watches but keeps her distance. I have a very large dog crate that we used for our newfie. Your more than welcome to borrow it. I bet you could get a dozen cats in there. :) Good advice on the inverts. I've been thinking about...

Thanks Jim I'm heading out to the hardware store and will swing by in a little bit.

If you don't get lucky and find a loaner, Tractor Supply down on 38 past Mt Holly has them. At least they did several months ago. I'd take a look on Craigslist also. I bet that someone here as to have one though. I'd put up a separate post asking for one. A pvc stand for the skimmer would work fine.

Hey Jim I you wind up with any left, I'll take a piece. I need to return to your trap anyway.

Pending pickup

I switching to a new tank and won't have a section in my sump for cheato at least in the short term. Also have a mat of GSP on my sand bed that won't be making the move. If you want it come and get it. The only catch is that if I need some down the road, you hook me up. I'll need it gone later...

Thanks Steve, my setup is similar with one siphon controlled by a gate valve, an open channel, and an emergency open channel that is a little higher. I think that I may just need to tweak it a little bit. Right now I can't hear it over the fans on the ATI fixtures unless I'm standing right by...

Approaching the finish line... My 2nd T5 fixture came in and I got it hung. I think I'm going to get a few extra T5 bulbs to play with the mixture a little bit. Right now I have 4 blue+, 3 coral+ and one purple+. I'm going to grab another blue+. Any other suggestions? Does anyone know which...

Do you have to be out of your house first thing in the morning or do you have it for most of the day? If the latter I'd think about moving everything over to a stock tank a few days before the move, make up some extra saltwater in some brutes, and get a few people to help move everything back...

If you haven't seen this already, here is a good series of articles that might help. I'm about to move everything over to a new tank and am using these as a guide. http://www.reefsmagazine.com/forum/reefs-magazine/100520-aesthetics-aquascaping.html...

That's North Jersey. :-) It's all about perspective.

I'm trying to break free to make the meeting. Anyone travelling up fro SJ who wants to carpool?

Sorry to hear that you are getting out for now but best of luck with the new house. Are you staying in the area.?

I think these guys hit it on the head with the LFSs. If you ever find yourself west of Philly, Aqurium Specialties and Research is worth a visit. Your in a good location when it comes to fishing. Lots of spots to wade for smallies and at the right time of year stripers, shad, and walleye on...

I have to see what bulbs I have but something along the lines of 4 blue+, 3 coral+ and purple+. Im new to t5s some im open to suggestions.

Thanks Steve... hopefully I'll have better luck with them. I'll definitely be keeping tabs on my phosphate level. I had left them in the brute can for several months before I etched them. When I finally checked the phosphates they were screaming so it seems the etching and lathium treatments...

Not too much progress in the past week or so. It took about 4 days to fill the tank with RO water and I just finished filling the sump. I ended up putting in 3 bags of Reef Flakes and that gave me a nice shallow sand bed. I threw a few pumps in the tank and added a 200 gallon box of ESV salt and...

I know ive been slacking. :) ill get an update and some pics tonight. How did the move go?

I made some progress in the past week. I replaced the shelving in the walk in closet that is going to house my sump and equipment. I built a rack for the sump and frag tank twice. I was smart enough to allow myself enough height for the skimmer to sit in the sump. Unfortunately when I placed the...

Congratulations Jim!
