    AN ADVENTURE! WITH PICS AND MORAL!

    One day, Mark hired people to re-side his old cedar sided house. The front looked like this... The back looked like this... Mark went off to work that morning at 9am. He returned home 3 hours later to find his house naked. It looked like this... But, after only 3 days the builders...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I hear they're tuff. Especially after they reach adolescence and begin to gnaw on the couch.

    Club tank

    Something at Jenkinsons might be nice if they have the space. Agree they would run it. Perhaps we could stock it with a few corals and donate any fish that we need to rehome. If anyone has aextra frags we can call them and bring them down. Really no loss to us and a way to get a banner or...

Per the...

    Welcome Philadelphia Aquatics

    Got the email. NO worries. Wednesday delivery is best. Thanks for the info and we'll definitely keep a dialogue going, too many misunderstandings with lack of communications. And we're both learning, no worries. Mark

    Decisions that affected NJRC

    Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it. - G. Santayana You hold the history. We don't know it. None of the old crew is around to help us, maybe due to these mysterious circumstances. I told my 6 year old son I couldn't play our board game tonight (4th time in 2 weeks) as I had a...

    What value would earn your membership dollars?

    A number of us, if not all, know the club has lost its way. A very few of us are spending tons of time outside our own jobs trying to rebuild. We're spending family time compiling shop lists, conference calling, prepping financial accounts, trying to rebuild sponsor trust, redesigning branding...

    JSAS Auction Great Success!!!

    John, Glad everything went well! Know this was a big deal for you guys and it sound like everyone had a good time. Was unable to attend myself (and have been lying low) due to rwcovery froma surprise surgery last week (all is good now). Assuming the nominations stay the same, We’re trying to...

    No decisions made, were still discussing. So, no single polyp zoa, no SPS. Monties?

    Frag grow out contest

    Individual zoa polyps take a long time to settle in and start to grow. No feeding required. Plus they're a bit 'dirty water', 'unspecific lighting'. I've got 2 tanks full of them. Many you can just throw in and leave them be. On the other hand, an easy sps or monti requires a bit more...

    I'm game. Here's a thought. Why not collect everyone's entry fee, give it to Mark at Ultimate Corals, explain we want a nice coral, not too common, easy to moderate to grow, and we need X amount of frags. His choice on the piece. Perhaps he can get the frags, of equal size, together for us...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Just FYI as an interesting sidenote. My much loved Grandad, passed for many a year, survivor of Omaha Beach, was known to me as 'The Old Geezer'. 'Geeze' for short. Not Pop, Granpa, Gramps. Its a good moniker IMHO. He didn't keep fish. He drank Schaeffer and smoked Salems. Dodged WWII bullets...

    Looking for a reactor (Shore area)

    Tigs, Thanks man, but it won't work. I'm looking for a single tube, clear plastic, to try to build an algae scrubber reactor. Appreciate the offer though. M

    Looking for a reactor (Shore area)

    Need a tube type reactor for an experiment. Was going to pick up a Phosban 150 on ebay for $40 or so but wanted to see if anyone has one laying around. Willing to drop a few bucks or trade. Lemme know. Mark (201) 467-1771

    Moving 40g tank

    Agreed. No major cycle needed unless you're using new rock. If you're using your old rock with a piece or two of new rock you should be OK, though you will have a mini cycle. Just dont dump too much new rock in there at once. I use aragonite myself (or special grade reef). I dump 5-10 pounds in...
