I lack the mathematics major to understand the Salifert Test kits. I use LaMotte for ALK - really straightforward and great to use, albeit more expensive. Your ca and ph appear spot on. I'd check the ph at night to see if there is any swing/difference. isn't Alk supposed to buffer the...

ok - it's amazing how many you have though...that's like the mother colony of colonies...:)

Whoa...those things...look very suspicious to me...like hydroids or similar....you may not want to have that in your tank,...they may take over. I'm referring to what you called "cheap zoas"

Welcome! nice pics. I don't have any friends who are into reefs either - the people on this forum just tolerate me is all...;)

welcome! no rush but if you think the forum is worth the time and effort, definitely consider signing up to become a member. You don't need to be a member to attend any of the functions/meetings but it's just a small way for everyone to chip in to keep the site up and running. Definitely...

my eyes must be playing tricks on me - i swore it said Flame Angel...lol then I saw 1-2 inch clipping...like what? Welcome to NJRC!

i don't use carbon anymore...i am way too lazy to keep changing it out. I sold my 55# bag.

oooh i didn't realize the RSM has a built-in skimmer? I use the tunze nano 9002 for my bc29. It is finicky but I barely have any life in the tank so that's probably why minimal stuff is being taken out. It did well for me (when tuned in) when I was growing out clownfish fry. That stated, I...

Ahhh makes sense - it is indeed rare - http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/18460/0

no there should be no issue. I used to do this when I had my sump directly under the tank. The ATO would be connected into the overflow just as thermosts said. Now today my sump is downstairs so running it back up to my overflow would be like 12 feet in hose and not worth it. What is the GPH...

That's cool. per wiki painted turtles grow smaller...so i would agree with mark's son. But if that's trully a red belly, it's not indigenous to NJ, it's common on FL. Makes me think someone had this one for a pet and released it. btw -the long front claws are usually a give away that it's a...

for what it's worth, almost all the manufacturers overstate the ratings.

Probe is dirty. Get a wipe and clean it. if it's in the return side and you don't have a filter sock you're probably getting a lot of splash/bubbles and this will cling to the probe until it can no longer read. Wait a minute - why is it set on the APEX? The tunze ato is completely self...

No eye candy here...just trying to keep this tank clean and not neglected. Still having a hard time with the AWB on the camera. I think having so many ATI blue + in the tank isn't helping either. I'm overdue for new bulbs...can't wait for the frag swap. First up - got this coral from a guy...

Really neat video...great for the geeks in all of us who are interested in science. http://youtu.be/xFQ_fO2D7f0 Narrated by a red snapper! ;) For those of you interested in breeding saltwater fish - this is why most species are difficult (tangs etc). Our best efforts lie in mouth brooders...

great now i'll be sure to add him to my ignore list...HAHHAAHAH

Order this from steve @ intank...it will make it all easy. http://shop.mediabaskets.com/Red-Sea-Max-Media-Basket-RSM3V20.htm

OH d'oh! you're right - he'd want one too. Bob, the 3 of us are coming...LOL!!!

bob...jose and i are coming by to "frag" I mean clean the tank...HAHAHAHA

LOL yes I did notice cyano increase...thought my water change schedule wasn't enough. :p
