Its weird. I saw 2 articles earlier and now they're both gone. Wondering if its an elaborate hoax. Will find out in a bit I guess.

The NJ was being temporarily moved from Camden and got stuck in the Point Pleasant Canal. She's right next to the bridge on Bridge Ave on the border of Point and Bay Head. I'll be driving by around 1pm and will let you guys know if its a worthwhile sightseeing stop (and make sure the bridge is...

Current plan is to stop dosing and use WC to maintain Alk. As of 9pm tonight, Alk is at 9.0 dKH, would like to stabilize it there. Still need to bring Nitrates down but the Purigen, overskim, decreased food, and daily floss changes should help over the next week or two. I know 1g of water...

I've got 2 big buckets from the big tank. And they've been used for a weekly WC in this 30g for a few months, which doesn't explain the low dKH. I'm guessing that if 1/2c of RSP in 1g of water hits 1.026SG and raises my dKH by .1, I should be able to manage my dKH adjustments by daily checking...

Good question :) Red Sea Pro. It mixes in bucket at between 10.9 and 11.1 dKH.

New tank hit a bad place post completion of transfers. With the loss of two crabs and a Tanakas wrasse, followed by the degeneration of some corals, I actually got off my ass an am doing some reefing. Figured I would chart progression here, along with my reponses and numbers as I get the tank...

Sorry for falling behind on this thread. I had opened another regarding T5 diffusion and the convo continued there. Most likely should have kept it to 1 thread but I'm livin life on the edge. https://www.njreefers.org/threads/anyone-ever-diffuse-a-t5.103658/#post-894343

If you're down in Ocean County shore area... Saw a couple at ACC on Saturday. Andrew in Petco Brick can probably order them for you.

Had 2 Mp40s on my 120. 1/2" glass. Keep the smallest spacer on it and definitely use the anchors and zipties to prevent a floor hit. They're known to do a suicide dive every once in a while. Mine would go 1-2x a week.

Its nice that you put a deck and a pool in there for the clowns

In researching if biomedia can eventually cause a nitrate spike, I found a website that should be stickied. Top notch stuff for a starter aquarist or someone needing a refresher. Beginners guide to the Nitrogen Cycle https://fishlab.com/nitrogen-cycle/ Aquarium Nitrates and how to get rid of...

The bright side of this whole thing is that if you ever join the Washington Reefers Club, and we end up in a reefkeeper war, we'll have an agent on the inside. Best of lucjk with the move. And, If you're out there and get a call stating 'The goniporia sings at midnight', be ready to act.

NIce offer!

When are you going. I can follow you in the Jeep (as long as I don't have to try to get it on the Parkway) and strap the stand to the back. And, just FYI, I heard they're making new 92g corner tank curvy covers, light mounts, and special no-fall curvy glass scrapers, you should probably keep...

Never dealt with ich, so can't comment, but there is something going on in the tank affecting everything. That nem in the picture with the scraper is on its way out as far as I know (and I may know nothing). When a nem is in seriously bad shape it begins to regurgitate its innards. To me, it...

I'd lend you the Jeep happily but the bouncing and the parts falling off it at highway speed might be an offput. Do the Lowes or HD thing if you cant find anyone. Just tell them its a few local back and forth trips and they'll charge you $19 for a half day, just fill the tank on the return. That...

I picked up this... https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/smart-buddie-rodi-booster-pump-aquatic-life.html https://www.amazon.com/Aquatic-Life-Booster-Reverse-Osmosis/dp/B00OMBPNHI/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=smart+buddy+booster&qid=1599927210&sr=8-1 It is a WORLD of difference. I can fill a 30g tank...

And here's our numbers. Top number is pre-screen. Bottom number is screen in place. Now I just need to find a T5 schedule, and maybe back up a bit on lighting times.

Think I got it. As suggested I went out and bought some black fiberglass window screen. Initially I put it over the entire splash cover and PAR levels dropped considerably across the tank with the center of the tank dropping from 380 to 220 at the top rock level and from 220 to 105 at the sand...

Well, the height is part of the problem. They’re about 6” off the water but thats the size of the mounting legs. Also, any higher and I have to worry about light spillover into the rear chamber.
