    Just got back from vacation and the drive shaft on one of my MP40s snapped. Anywhere locally in NJ carry these parts for the wet assembly? I will order it via the ecotech store but if I can grab it locally would rather do that. Thanks

    Tank temperature

    78-80 with a chiller. I originally didn't have a chiller, LED lights and i kept the canopy open with bird netting and a ceiling fan, kept it fine for me. We weighed the cost of the chiller vs increasing our AC temp and it was cheaper to buy the chiller. SO now the house is slightly warmer...

    March 2014 - POTM Contest - Winner! ( MREHFELD )

    The rabbitfish is a great Reef citizen. When I bought him he was really thin and about 1/3 smaller. Now he eats everything I feed but leaves the corals alone.

    Durable Dog Bed

    As the owner of a 4 year old lab, had one for 12 years prior there is no such thing as an indestructible bed. Kong toys are the best and truly the most worthwhile investment. I would skip a bed until the phase is over otherwise you are throwing away money. Mine lived in his crate with a old...
