April 1st . . . 1992! Yeah, I'd say it got here a little late! Pretty funny that it still has legs 15 years later!

I never thought of that. I'll be interested in seeing the responses too!

I agree with Dom's approach. The only thing I would add is that you keep the lights out for the first few hours as well.

Re: spaghetti worm spaghetti worms = good! Sorry can't help you on the pH issue, though.

Hi 638fitter, Welcome to NJRC! And thanks for the thoughts on AqOb! They're definitely one of the good ones in the hobby.

Yeah I really like the aquascaping too. I'm looking forward to seeing it continue to come along.

I think this is a really good point, too. I would never assume that a few minutes is a holding tank would in anyway be indicative of the behavior you'd see in a display tank over time. While there may not be as much stress as one would think, the fish still have to be rattled enough to kind of...

Another vote for bristle worm here.

Phyl got hired to do face painting at the Barnes and Noble in Manahattan for their Harry Potter Release Party. It's this Friday from 9pm to 1am. I guess that's the release date.

You'd probably do better at either a Best Buy or Circuit City.

UPS = Uninterrupted Power Supply. It's like a mini generator or battery backup. You plug it into the wall and then plug your appliances into it. In the event of a power failure, the UPS will kick on and keep your appliances running - uninterrupted. How long that lasts depends on the size of the...

I couldn't agree more. If you haven't used one, you really need to give them a try!

Diatoms are brown and make your tank just look dirty. They are part of the start up cycle and almost always go away on their own. From my experience, they genreally go away about 3 days after you lose your marbles and scream "THIS TANK LOOKS LIKE %@$@^ !!!! I'M TEARING IT DOWN!" Cyano is...

OK Matt, I know there were tanks in EVERY room I was in the other day (including the garage and back yard), but I didn't go to the bathroom. Please don't tell me you're talking from experience on this!

I'm always up for giving a tour as well as going on one, so count me in!

Nice pics, Brian! The place really looks beautiful. Is that the place that has that cool water silde that goes under the shark tank? We're you able to get any dive pics? I like the sign, that's pretty funny.

Really?!? I stand corrected! I didn't see any MH fixtures. All I saw were the VHO's. Thanks for the clarification Mike.

Oh, I just thought of one other thing that I found interesting and is really important to note: ALL of the corals at Dr. Macs are kept under VHO lighting. Each fixture has 4 VHO bulbs in them (2 day light, 2 actinic). The reason this is important is that you should keep this in mind when...

Chris, Since our systems are very similar, I wouldn't mind if you left them my number in case of an emergency. I might be able to swing by once in the middle of the week if you can't find anyone else. You're kind of far for me to come there every other day though.
