    Vacuuming your sandbed

    Mind is like yours, around 1-2" deep. It's been setup over 11 years and I've been vacuuming it every so often. I'll go a few months to a year between vacuuming it. I don't usually disturb it all at one time. When mine looks dingy is when I disturb it. If you're going to vacuum yours, I'd...

    NJ I-287 "careless" driving ticket

    It really does suck how bad or state has become for this. When I first started driving, they pulled you over to keep it safe. Most of the time if your record was clean, you got a warning. Then as time went on they moved on to I'm just giving you a seat belt ticket, it's no points. To now, they...

    Tim's 180 semi-in-wall

    The rock walls look incredible. That's an awesome job. Good luck with the build.

    Bad luck with Blood Shrimp and Cleaner Shrimp in my tank.

    It could be the ammonia. I know it reads low, but a cycled tank shouldn't have any readings.

    Juano's 75 Gallons "The Re-Build"

    The algae is probably using up the phosphate and nitrate so it's testing 0.

    Anyone know what this can be?

    I've got the same coral and was told it was a branching favia. But I can't find any photos that look like it under either branching moon or branching favia. Anyway it is pretty neat looking.

    Sal's 75G build

    I just got a RW-8 for my 90 gallon about a week ago. I figured one would be good based on the RC threads. I run mine 100% and it doesn't even come close to more than enough. Two are really needed for 4' tank. I'll stick with your plan of getting a 2nd. Also, another nod for not using a...

    Does anyone still use bio pellets?

    I've been running mine for several years now. Started with WM Ecobak and recently added some TLF Bioplastics. I like the Ecobak better, the Bioplastics tend to float more, but the LFS only had Bioplastics. I also run GFO. Not really sure if they've done much, but my levels have remained in...

    Need help - how long can I go without power?

    Our power just came back on. That's the longest without power I can remember. Now I know 2 bubblers on a 90 worked for at least 24 hours. Good to know for the future.

    Need help - how long can I go without power?

    I've been out since 6pm on Tuesday. Years ago I setup 2 battery powered air pumps to come on automatically when the power goes out. Wasn't sure how long they'd keep everything alive, I've got a heavy fish load with my corals. I bought a generator yesterday and set it up at 4pm Wednesday, so...

    Anybody bought a fridge lately?

    I remember reading that too. But, ours makes no noise.

    Anybody bought a fridge lately?

    We bought a Samsung side by side last year and are happy with it. We needed to replace our 5 year old Maytag (weren't happy with it).

    LED opinions?

    I've been running (2) OceanRevive S026's over my 90 gallon reef for a little over a year and love them. Corals have been growing great. My buddy also has (4) of the T247's over his 180 gallon reef and he loves them too. They're pretty similar, just the T247's have built in timers. They seem...

    Looking to Rehome Derasa Clam

    I've had this clam for several years now and it's now 7" long (shell). I had it with an angel a few months ago that was bothering it, so the angel was removed. I'd like to put the angel back and the clam is a little big now, so I'm looking to rehome it. I'm located in Blackwood 08012 and I'm...

    LED Lighting - Are we greatly over estimating their abilities?

    I've been using (2) Ocean Revive Arctic S026's over my 4' long 90 gallon for almost a year and have had great color and growth. They are 120W fixtures, I believe my blue are at 60% and my color/white are around 50%. The fixture specs say the optics are 90 degrees. I think was all the...

    Thoughts on Bangai Cardinal Fish?

    If you're going to try the bangai's, probably just 1 or a true male - female pair. I believe they'll kill the odd one, once they grow up. I've kept them single twice and they do great that way. But, had a strawberry pseud once and wow was it aggressive, mine even bullied damsels. It might be...

    Clam placement....

    What type of clam? Assuming it's a maxima, since they're the most common.
