Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Thanks for hosting! We've neglected the meetings for too long.
I should be able to make it.
(and I'll announce a date for June at my place closer to the time)
The last order I had with them (previous to this one) had a 100% doa. Got a refund for it but was still disappointing.
Decided to try again with this order and had a 50% survival. Didn't even bother to take pics, just dumped the shells in the tank for the hermits to use.
Got it. So they monitored this site, saw the sale and contact info, and approached you as the salesperson.
Confirming they are not related to the site.
May be a situation where we need a rule modification, like no visible contact info in the forums (I'm a major violator of that).
For the first time in, err, maybe 2 years or so, I'm actually going to check my tanks.
I plan on checking Alk, Ca, Mg, and even salinity.
I expect, as I'm going to do this, I will have a hard crash of both tanks immediately after.
Bulbs are (I think) Blue+, Blue+, Blue+ (possibly actinic), Coral+, all 6 months old.
No legs.
Moonlight LEDs.
May have a few extra bulbs around.
In Brick 08724.
Would go to the garage to take a pic, but i'm too lazy right now - picture a 36" 4 bulb T5 - there ya go, that's what it looks like...
Get a frigging pistol shrimp. They'll move the entirety of your sand from one end of the tank to the other daily, burying anything they can mange to cover in the process.
I just bought one after suppressing the memories of my previous one from many years back.
As a bonus, the 'I'm angry' gunshot...
Odd thing is Greenpeace made a statement saying that there is no scientific proof that there is a connection between the sonar mapping and the beachings.
Effectively the medical view that correlation does not necessarily equal causation.
But, there seems to be some empirical evidence at least.
I was using a Buddy RODI with booster, loved it.
Went to a 5 stage BRS.
Six months later back to the Buddy (fortunately I kept the booster).
I replace the membrane 1x per year and the cartridges every 3-4 months at cost of $30 or so.
DI I just replace as needed from a 5 pound bag.
Runs me about...
Did this a couple times down by Manasquan inlet - dog beach area.
Tried twice in spring. Grabbed lumps of seaweed and shook em out. Nada to minimum pods, plenty of dead seaweed and a few crabs.
Decided not to try anymore.
Last year during the late summer was down there.
On a whim picked up a...
Hey all.
So, though I hold onto my 35g cube it continues to deteriorate and I know I'm playing with fire (or at least enough spilled water to put out a fire) at this point.
It's dimensions are 20" wide x 18" deep x 20" high and it's stand is a perfect match.
Petco has a 35g Aqueon cube on sale...
Was speaking with mnat and we were thinking of doing one over at my place in Spring/early summer but looks like you guys may have it covered. If either falls through, let me know, would be happy to host.
