    Corals not happy

    Keep in mind they're more comfortable in 'dirty water' and prefer lower flow and moderate light. They tend to do well in larger tanks with mixed reefs if you tuck them away, but once you downsize the tank, say 60g or lower, they tend to need slightly 'dirtier' water and a bit less husbandry...

    Renewed hobby - large scale models

    Bob, I still need your address btw, have a shirt here to mail you :). As any hobby its what you're willing to spend. I've already moved from that small cart to a 6' x 3' custom modelling desk. But, outside the setup it's reasonable. I built a small paint booth for $30-60, bought an airbrush...

    Renewed hobby - large scale models

    MODEL SCORE TODAY! But first... Finished that Space 1999 Eagle a while back and been through a few other models... And today I stumbled across a rare model any 50yo Sci-Fi TV geek would address with, 'Holy S, I need that now!'. So, it came home with me. Mega complex kit, translation looks...

    NJRC Meetup at Reefapalooza NYC June 26-27

    Are we doing a booth this year? If so, you can pen me in for Sunday mid-morning till 6pm or so. ;) If not, I may see folks there Sunday regardless. I will wear my NJRC shirt and greet any fellow NJRC member by loudly announcing how happy I am that they finally got out of prison.

    48x24x16 Rimless Reef ready build...it has begun!!!

    They're deceptively solid connections once seated. I've exclusively used slips in every build from 80 to 140 and never had a concern. As Rob said, I'd avoid PVC cement as theres always a chance of a future mod. Sometimes i would assemble the slip halfway, then put a small bead of silicone on the...

    Phyto test run...

    Phyto is pretty simple, its actually hard to go wrong growing it. Phyto fertilizer or miracle grow, air or no air, grow lights or daylight, buckets or tanks... it will grow given the chance (and a starter). The pain is keeping it alive, transferring, fertilizing, and cleaning bottles as it grows...

    NJRC Meetup at Reefapalooza NYC June 26-27

    Normally we do monthly meets. The past few years I've been doing a huge summer party, with exception of last year, of course. We have a few tables out for selling stuff, frag tanks for trades/sales, donated auction items, etc... Hoping to get back to it this year depending on the overall Covid...

    Alkalinity

    Looks like your maint dose is going to be about 30ml per day. I'd do 30ml every morning at same time and test Alk every night at same time for at least 4-5 days to establish a solid baseline of what 30ml daily does. Once you know your baseline you can start making adjustments.

    Powerheads

    I have 2 of those practically brand new I can sell, I had them in my 120 for 4 months and LOVED 'em. When I broke down the tank I liked them so much I didn't sell them but I know now that I'm not going back to anything over 30g AIOs, so willing to part. And, the Jeabo and Jecods are fantastic...

    Pond filter $100

    OK, you talked me into it. I'll take it. Per DD I may just run these on my 30g for a couple weeks to clear out the algae and strip the skin off the fish.

    Pond filter $100

    Perfect timing. I'm collecting bits now for the full project, it'll be my summer hobby, and I do not have a pump/filter yet. I'll definitely take it. :) Thanks D, thanks MR

    48x24x16 Rimless Reef ready build...it has begun!!!

    Great looking tank and excellent dimensions. Reminds me of an old Deep Blue. And the AL hybrid fixtures are excellent. Drop a few Blue pluses in there along with an actinic and with your LEDs that tank will POP.

    online snails and stuff

    Heya Chris. Sure you've have your ear to the ground on this but, just in case, Reefcleaners has been very hit or miss lately. On my last order I received about 60% dead shipment. I called John and he refunded with no problem. We just did a group order from him again a few months back (DD...
