    Well, we got the bug

    She's an acupuncturist and sees 70+ people a week, probably picked it up at work. Thanks for the offer Chris, truly appreciated. We're good as we sorta saw this coming a few weeks ago and stocked up on some canned goods, pasta, and, yes, toilet paper. I my sell 3 or 4 rolls of toilet paper to...

    Well, we got the bug

    Carla is hospitalized with Coronavirus as she was having respiratory troubles. She's on IVs and monitors at the moment and will probably be there for a few days at least. I'm stuck inside now under official quarrantine with a 4yo and an 8yo, God help me. Sorry to Paulie as we're definitely...

    Houston, we have a serious problem. Need a carpenter/engineer's advice asap

    So, tank has been up in my study for almost a year. Up against the wall, over a couple of beams that run horizontal with the tank, not perpendicular. Yesterday, while walking across the (hardwood) floor, it felt like a few panels were loose, they were creaky. I looked at the tank from the side...

    Rusalty - just ordered

    Cool deal. They dropped me an email back stating that the order I placed wasn't part of the BOGO, they cancelled it, refunded the paypal, and all was groovie. Now I'm sorta pissed as the order of amphis/copis is not in the BOGO deal! In reality, I feel like an ass for bothering them. The $59...

    Coronavirus Already Threatening Supply of Aquarium Goods

    You won that tank over 6 months ago and they were displaying the tanks for sale. Does that mean if you went into the store to buy with cash it would be over a 6 month wait?

    Rusalty - just ordered

    The first shipment from them was fantastic. SO! I placed another order this afternoon. BUT! I received an e-mail tonight with a special offer for BOGO on any amphipod order today and tomorrow. I thought the timing was odd and it might be a fishing (ha!) scam to get me to order again immediately...

    Little help identifying these guys

    You got a 2 parter there. They secure their butts down onto a surface and, when threatened, they drop it off, like a lizards tail. That bit on the left is his disconnected arse. They're pretty cool as cleaners, they're nocturnal, and are just pretty interesting. They climb to the top of the...

    Dr. Tim’s

    I know Petco Brick sells Special Blend. Guessing the Howell and TR stores would probably carry it as well. I also have half a bottle if you need it (no Dr Tims though)

    I can get a new ApexEL for $400, talk me out of it

    I have 2 temp probes through 2 temp controllers each with a single heater hooked up with all set to 80F max (sorta quad protection). I have 3 Hydra 26s on programming, and 4 T5s on timers. My ATO runs through my kalk stirrer, which is adjusted monthly based on top off. It also beeps like a...

    WTB General Tank Equipment

    Pretty sure I have a 29g high, if you can use it as a sump you can have it for the NJRC club member cost of free. Think it still may have the Aqueon stickers on it as it was never used.

    Varios 2

    If Hockeynut doesn't take it I will. Need a return for a new nano build. Should learn to ask what else you're planning to sell every time we meet :)

    Heads up - 60g? cube

    Just looked at my LetGo app. Someone in North Arlington just posted what looks like a nice 40? 60? gLlon rimless cube with stand and sump for $250. If I were closer would check it out myself. Do a letgo search for ‘aquarium’ and it comes up.

    Keep me in mind for the tank once you've sold the livestock :)

    LIgHt choices

    Seriously, I'm really beginning to think that lights are lights. Folks are getting as much growth, it seems, from decent black boxes as they are from higher end brands. I was running 3 Hydra AI 26HDs over my 120. Things were going well. I added a hybrid T5 fixture for a total of $1000 hanging...

    LIgHt choices

    I have a minimag LED flashlight, its pretty focused. I spend the day walking around the tank illuminating each coral for 20-30 minutes at a time. Arms are tired and growth sucks, but I have lost 15 pounds.

    WTB Aquatic Life 61" Hybrid Fixture

    I've got the 36" fixture over a 48" wide 18" tall tank. I've got 3 AI Hydra 28HDs in it. Its 12" off surface and the spread of just the T5s covers the sandbed bed nicely with minimal overflow of light. Ive got sps and montis within a few inches of the tank width and they're growing fine. If the...

    Looking for a 10g tank, preferably an AIO

    Marcus, I do have a 20 long and/or a 29 if it helps (standard tanks). I will let either go for a tap dance while playing a kazoo, which is probably much more complex than it sounds, and I'm sure it would sound terrible.
