    2023 April Meeting - Momof6kids

    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)

    Make an account !

    Yeah, but look at those other members that are signed in. It's like a wretched hive of scum and villany.

    Reef Cleaners - Terrible

    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.

    Sold

    Aarrgh. Love this light. Four weeks back couldn't find any for sale, so I upgraded my Radions. Still tempting

    Anyone going to the show 4/2?

    First I've heard of it. If I can be bothered with the drive I may head up there for a few hours.

    Seller’s beware scammers

    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).

    Well, the time has come...

    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.

    Can't get rid of brown sand

    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...

    Have these creatures clinging to my front glass…

    Agreed they look like tiny pineapples, but pineapples usually go low flow and dark.

    In this hobby you need a back up for everything.

    I have a backup bottle of bourbon in case the frustration levels cause me to drain the first.

    This is getting out of control

    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.

    What is the most economical and bestest RODI system?

    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...

    Pods

    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...

    Tank & stand help

    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...
