    NJ law for license plate / bike rack question

    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...

    Ultimate Coral - What You Need To Know

    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...

    Unofficial Board meeting report 4/20

    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...

    Skimmer

    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...

    Live Aquaria Mandarin Adventure

    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...

    Live Aquaria Mandarin Adventure

    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...

    Who are all the craft beer folks in here?

    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...

    Live Aquaria Mandarin Adventure

    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...

    Sunny's 600 Gallon Build

    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.

    Live Aquaria Mandarin Adventure

    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...

    What’s my Zoa doing

    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.

    RODI Buddy

    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.
