    Any decking experts on here?

    If considering long term options, I agree with Paul and Chris. The previous owners put Trex down in 2008 and today the deck still looks like it should be in a showroom. Composite is more expensive, but nearly zero maintenance (powerwasher blast every spring) and it'll last forever. Here's a...

    Gem Tang (Brick 08724)

    Need a kayak upgrade. But, been out of work for a few months, so I'm funding it through selling other kayaks and this guy. (And if anyone wants to buy an Ocean Malibu 2xl tandem... ;) )

    Proposed Changes to Memberships..... - Please read and vote

    I'd still like to do the Summer bash in Brick (central) -maybe in August instead of July if nothing is planned and no-one has claimed the month. Depending on evolving circumstances, of course.

    Free snails

    Paulie, great seeing you and thanks for the clean up crew. Also nice to have bumped into Freddie and Matt while there, it was a 120 second mini-meet. BTW currents were bad in the estuaries, too much for the kids, so we decided to head up the coast and eventually ended up at Barnaget Light...

    Omgnotyouagain Corlas

    It's me. I've seen his tanks. All those amazing pics are actually of GSP that he's glued plastic to and painted. Its an old trick from the Allied desert units in WWII. They'd paint their tanks as high end corals to confuse Rommel.

    Live Rock from 180 gallon for free and sump for sale

    I have the capacity to hold some of it. I've got a system I've been curing a bunch of rock in (well, curing is a 'term' its been in there for 6 months). If no-one takes you up, or if some folks want some and need more time, I can pick up a few 5g buckets on sunday, hate to see it go to dead.

    Free snails

    Heya Paulie, I can use a handful of those if available. Can head down Barneget way this weekend if available and you're about. May get some kayaking in while down there as well. Lemme know, M

    Proposed Changes to Memberships..... - Please read and vote

    I'm assuming we'd do it quarterly for initial signups? For example, if new member signs up Jan-Mar its $20 Apr - Jun $15 Jul - Sept $10 Oct- Dec $5 Then do a $20 annual renewal on January 2nd for every year following? Also thought - is it possible to do auto renewal fees annually with a card on...

    no power

    Chris, As said, in my 2-3 day power loss with nothing going on in the tank (no pumps, no air stones), there wasn't a single loss. I really think this 'must have flow and power every minute' thing is one of those reefing myths that inspires panic. We black out tanks all the time, we turn on and...

    no power

    We we're in a Jeep, no top, as the storm came in. Got caught in the 80+ mpnh winds avbout 1/4 mile from home. Jeep flooded out, and we we're all soaked like sewer rats. IT was insane! Like a ultra real Disney ride with fear of death :) We did lose power for a while, fortunately I picked up a...

    LOL @ zip codes

    Zip or town I'll be Googling it regardless. True story: I live on the corner of Bradley Ave. Had a guy pull up a couple years back ask me if I knew where Chestnut was. Told him I'd look it up for him, pulled out my phone, typed it in, and realized I lived on the corner of Bradley and Chestnut...

    One of those days...

    So, outside work it is. Here are my clothes after hosing them down. Why? I forgot to release the pressure on our gas can last night and went to fill up the blower 30 minutes ago. Of course the blowback covered me in gasoline head to toe. Now I am doing outside stuff in work shoes... Should...

    One of those days...

    MP40 wet side is on bottom of tank this morning. As I'm recovering it the dry side falls off, and as I had it anchored by the sticky tab so it wouldn't hit the floor, it did an Indiana Jones whip swing straight into the top of the ATO container, at which point the sticky tab gave out and the...

    New Tank - New to the Hobby - I Need Your Input.

    Sand ‘dust’ settling may take a week or so. I use the special grade reef. I put a few pounds in a bucket and stir, drain, rinse, repeat. Ater 10-12 of these heavy rinses I still get clouds on the tank for 24-48 hours Cool handle btw. Influenced by the Greek, the Ender series, or both?
