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.
Just curious... Do you have any thoughts on why it stopped? I've found both Mag and Eheim pumps to be pretty indestructible. I've had a small Mag on my pond that stops late in the year when a berry tree drops them into the pond and they clog the filtered input port.
My sad persona is of the...
If Amado has talked you out of an AFS, I suggest you consider the Avast Plank feeder (The Plank Automatic Feeder). It is pricey. It is also Apex controllable. I use one on my DT to feed my anthias a variety of 1 and 2mm pellets every hour on the hour during the day. (I'll give you my Apex...
I'm very saddened by this move. They had the healthiest and least expensive fish around. I don't think anyone purchasing the business will make a go of it - Juan and Cynthia both worked too hard making it all happen. (I also think there were a few things left out of the offer.) I will miss...
A 48" x 24" x 18" is a stock 90G: Aquarium Dimensions - Standard Fish Tank Sizes Chart - Aquarium Dimensions
The only advantage of a 75G over a 90G is that it will result in fewer wet sleeves for you. The upside is that, with the same footprint, you get room for 20% more water. Water volume...
There is a less expensive version of an Apogee PAR Meter if you happen to have a laptop (Windows or Mac). It comes with a 15' USB Cable. It is basically just a sensor that uses a laptop for calculations and output. Apogee has the software available for download...
Aquatic Life does have fixtures in a size that holds 4 60" T5 bulbs. Unfortunately, the lighting industry has yet to discover a way to dim 5' T5s, so you'll have to settle for a 60" non-dimmable fixture.
Anyone looking for an Aquatic Life 48" Hybrid non-dimmable T5HO 4x54W Fixture? The current list is $335 without any Kessil 360w/x circular mounting brackets. I paid $200 for it used, and will I will let it go for $150 as I figure I got $50 worth of use out of it. Bulbs are not included, and...
Do photosynthetic sponges count as "plating sponges"? Over the years I've bought both red and blue versions of photosynthetic sponges. I think both were ORA sourced. The one that I currently have is purple. Go figure...
Let me know if you're coming to this Saturday's meet. If you are...
Gaspare,
I've been considering using them, or a reasonable facsimile from Monoprice. I have a number of tanks in my basement controlled by an unusually large Neptune Apex system. I'd attach them to the beams in my basement vertically and use them to consolidate Apex connectivity wiring...
There are tests/calculators available to determine actual tank volume. They typically involve an accurate salinity test, the addition of a known volume of water at a known salinity, and then an actual salinity re-test. Here's one...
