    Feather Duster... I hope?

    No, they're pretty chill. You may find clusters of 2-3 in a few places, in an SPS tank with dosing some can grow a bit (like half the diameter of a pencil), but they're by no means a pest in a display like xenia, yellow palys, gsp, etc...

    Feather Duster... I hope?

    Its a mini feather duster. If you have one you'll have a few soon. Harmless and pretty cool. Sign of a healthy tank. Vermitads have a similar casing but it's tight to the rock and they don't present a fan, just long silky tendrils (and they usually do this at night or after you disturb the...

    Renewed hobby - large scale models

    SO, back tto the Space 1999 Eagle. As I am so out of practice with model building, I decided to use the 'new modern' techniques of auto spraypaint, makeup powder, spices (cinnamon does a great rust), and other crazy stuff to forge ahead. I serioiusly love how model building now encourages...

    Is dementia kicking in?

    Think that I renewed and no longer have member access. I dropped Marcus a line. Thanks for the info and link. And thanks to Groucho for the tag line I think of whenever I re-up a club or membership.

    Is dementia kicking in?

    I thought the meet on Saturday was front and center, I think I recall seeing the post with donations, things people were bringing, etc... I can't find it, and I sort of need it for an address and such, and to update my donations to the NJRC members and coffers.

    Renewed hobby - large scale models

    Cool stuff. Always loved the Corsairs and will probably pick up one in the future. Probably loved them so much as I used to watch 'Black Sheep Squadron' when I was younger, a series that depicted the war in the Pacific in a 70's we're all having fun kinda way. Per tanks, one word... weathering...

    Mars aqua reef lights 165

    Id you’ll take Paypal and if Cark can pick them up for me, I’ll take 2 of the Aquas. Never know when a new nano may spring up around here.

    Maybe its just me but....

    I use the same answer to my wife’s questions regarding my old Jeep or the tank... Wife: ‘What’s that noise?’ Me: ‘Probably about $200’

    Going under-sink rodi

    So, I picked up a unit from Express Water, on Amazon, for $170. 6 stage filtration - chem filter, sediment, granular carbon, RO, DI, activated carbon. Unit is nice and labelled for dummies. Set up, again, labelled for dummies. Simple instructions. Size is that of a normal RODI and it takes...

    Cherry stand for sale

    He's a whizz with those Walmart directions. I've seen him put together a Sauder nightstand in only 6 hours. Once he left, I fixed it a bit. But he did an OK job.

    Sometimes it’s the little things

    Sounds very suspicious. Does she bring you the meds? Speaking of such - What she's digging? If it's rectangular and a few feet deep, stop taking the meds and get out of there.

    WTB - Biocube 14/16g with LED

    Anyone got one? We just rearranged the living room and theres a small open space a tank would fit nicely in. Might even consider flake/frozen eating dwarf horses.

    Freshwater Systems

    Little 7g for a beta, 10-12 neon tetras, a crazy plecki that Sponge hooked us up with, and a few snails that have now turned into 100. Few small pieces of driftwood and a couple of no maintenence plants.

    125 Gallon Flow

    Although they've fallen out a bit with all the new tech out there, I can't recommend Sea-swirls enough. 180 degree rotating pattern driven by your pump of choice. I've got 2 on my back wall pushing in 500gph each to create some chaotic flow. Don't think I'll ever run another tank without them. I...

    Greetings from a Newbie

    Welcome aboard! Dave and I are the good looks and intelligence of the crew, you can tell because we respond first, as all good looking intelligent people do. Sponge gave a thumbs up, but he's sorta on the outskirts trying to get in. Seriously, we have a great community here, wide and varied...

    Going under-sink rodi

    Troubleshooting my RODI today and found my in water to be 147tds. Further investigation regarding town water showed it to be in a pretty sad state. Decided to run a new RODI for drinking water under the kitchen sink with an 8g upgraded holding tank. Figure this will supply enough drinking water...
