Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I work with a lot of shore officers and we BS a lot. They're used to abuse. If you are pulled over for something minor, a good attitude will do wonders.
Example...
Took my Jeep out 3 weeks ago, I left papers in the house.
Was pulled over, probably as my jeep looks like an 18 year old's acid...
Won't be there for May 12th, going to be out of state. Best of luck with your meet!
Mark was one of the first guys I met in the hobby. Always friendly, always offers great advice and is more interested in teaching you about corals that you should buy as opposed to selling you high end items for...
IMPORTANT STUFF MISSED AT THE 4/20 MEETING!
I present the evidence...
There was no mention of developing a sandproof Ukelele.
There was no mention in how to protect the club from 20 pound bombs.
The fact that cavalry sabres were present should have offered a marketing opportunity for...
I have a Ghost desktop, which I don't think is doing much at all, probably going to just remove it.
I'm doing a mini reactor from IM, carbon and phosban which I'm unsure of but seems to be doing well enough at water scrubbing...
Astounding based on the fact that its a 3rd party shipper.
On the first DOA I called immediately.
I was given the option of a credit for the $80 (fish was $80, shipping was free) or another delivery.
Chose the latter requesting the largest fish, a smaller box, and 2 heat packs.
There was no cost...
Figured I'd update this.
Number two was a loss as well.
Acclimated over a few hours due to temp differences (bag was 67, tank is 80).
Seemed to go OK but he didn't survive the night.
Contacted Live Aquaria, seems this is not an isolated problem in this weather, especially as shipping is from...
Theres a liquor store in Brick, in the parking area of the River Rock cafe, that just opened a small tap room. Haven't been there yet but may try this weekend. Will let you guys know.
Also, for those brewing that don't know of it (actually a gallon jar and an airlock and anyone can do this...
Round 2
Wednesday morning, UPS drops a box on my doorstep with no knock or bell ring.
Fortunately I heard the truck.
Same packaging as previous order, but 2 heat packs inside.
Same double bag, but again, its cold.
But this time we have an active and very curious mandarin (but again, very...
Hey all.
We're putting together a new NJRC flyer for handing out at events and I need a bit of help.
I'm looking for a few hi res photos of members tanks, priority going to the previous POTM winners but looking for anything anyone has that's colorful and represents the club well. Fish and...
Thats the same spot the previous tank was in, isn't it?
Totally different dynamic with the room.
Are you going to leave it as a 3 side exposed?
That would be phenomenal.
Ordered a Biota tank bred mandarin this week as well as some inverts.
Normal Mandarin $20-25, this guy $80 plus $15 shipping for Saturday delivery.
Raised on .5 micron food and frozen cyclo, so got the food ready (as well as some tisbe pods to seed fuge).
Boxes arrived Saturday. Bit overkill...
They're almost like tiny tube worms. They extend the stalks to feed. Had them in a coral heavy tank for years but they were never an issue. They'd always come out when i fed the corals.
Hallelujah!
Just be sure with the RO buddy that you push the tubes into the connectors tightly. You should feel a second sort of sliding before it fully sets, then gently pull a bit and place ring washer on.
I had a leak and the tube not being set correctly on set up was the cause.
