    WTF is in my tank!!!

    That's definitely a sea spider (pycnogonid). There are a lot of different ones, people's experiences have been different. Some eat things you don't care about. I know of at least one infestation of sps-eating sea spiders that required a tank teardown. Another guy had sea spiders that ate zoos...

    I have my old 2-stage spectrapure RO. Non-DI. The 90GPD membrane is in good shape but you might want new cartridges or take the ones from yours. $20. PM if interested.

    dj power panel

    I use one and it's great but I have to say they are pretty badly made. I have had one outlet fail and one switch come loose. Not a quality product, I hope they don't use them at the nuclear plant.

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    I keep feeding that nem silversides, I'm hoping it splits in time to move to your "real" setup! I am planning to put back in the old 12K bulbs for now and order some 400W ballasts.

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    Things have been mostly good lately. I changed from 1200K to 1500K bulbs which made me happy initially, because of the glowing colors, but it seems to me they have a lot less PAR and I have had some corals go brown on me. Currently trying to decide whether to go back to 1200K Ushios, or to...

    wanted to share pictures of my other hobby

    Nice work! I was a huge fan of the Tamiya kits in the 70s and 80s, especially the 1:35 military miniatures series. I built a lot of WWII tanks, halftracks and others back then. Plus the excellent soldiers, painting them is an art in itself. I don't know where they all went -- I suspect my...

    Here's my Big Office System

    Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax Cool Bax, thanks for the update. That Teal Stag frag is looking great, it sprouted some baby blue tips! Nem is also doing fine, I fed it some pieces of squid yesterday I was cooking for dinner.

    actinic. why?

    I don't run actinics on my 200+ gallon system. I miss the way they make the corals look, but everything is colorful and happy!

    Advice On New Tank Purchase

    My tank is a 68 X 30 X 25 (I think). I bought it from Glasscages, who deliver periodically to this area. You have to go to White Plains to pick it up, or pay a fortune to have it come to your door. I had to get mine in Pennsylvania because their truck broke down, but that's another story. They...

    October Meeting: Saturday the 17th (Bridgewater)

    Gonna try and clip a couple frags from my Ponape Birdsnest, I have a couple from my fast growing purple and blue millie ready to go. Maybe a surprise donation for the raffle... Does anyone want "nuclear death-and-destruction" Zoos? They're pale green and multiplying. Anyone want to swap...

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    Jeff: Some of us polar bears never got onto the iceberg in the first place. Bill, Jim T, It's great that you three guys, and Bax, read my thread. Hey I know, maybe I'll just email you with updates. Actually I'm thinking about setting up my own website, where I can put stuff about my tank, my...
