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.
Certainly ain't like the old days Paul. I can remember working on a 54 Packard flathead straight 8 that had all of two wires going to the engine. You could remove one wire and the thing still ran. Just hope you never have a parasitic draw (sometimes referred to as parasitic drain) that is...
Your options are endless. I had an 18-19 inch long Hollywood Stunner that I pulled out and took to the LFS for credit.
If the Euro Bracing wasn't there, I could have gotten it out in one piece. Anyway, the two large pieces went into a Rubbermaid Container and the Rigid Shop Vac...
LiveAquaria has them listed as "with caution". That said, I have two in a 90 gallon DT mixed reef who both enjoying munching on Aiptasia, but never saw any indication of them eating corals. I'm either lucky or my corals don't taste good. I'll also note I don't have zoas and heard that is...
I looked into automatic water changes a number of years ago and didn't do it because of space considerations. However, what I was looking at was old school dual head peristaltic pump. They are commercial pumps that last forever (but having to change out the tubing every so often.) I'd also...
Makes sense....stainless steel is predominately iron, carbon and chromium. I too had a MAG 9.5 with two screws totally rusted out to the point that I named it old-four-screws.
I've got to believe they use a low quality stainless, with interestingly less chromium. It's the chromium content...
I don't know what Reeflo Dan has, but Champion Lighting sells the pumps......might be THIS ONE. If this is the free standing skimmer I think it is.....not submersible, but free standing....it also needs a "feed pump" to get the tank water to the skimmer.
If you're willing to come to Sayreville, I have neon green candy cane (a colony or single head) and a fresh cut head of green hammer. If not limited to LPS, I have some LPS as well. All for free.
Holy Tuna sandwich Batman! At around ten feet, and assuming Atlantic Bluefin, you're looking at about 1000 pounds.....and fresh caught, and the right market, approaching a million bucks!!! Get that little guppy over to Fulton fish market NOW.
Oh! no skimmer.....Carbon dosing needs; requires, a means of exporting the growing bacteria. If you don't do this, you're simply growing bacteria that eventually dies and recycles the N, P and C in you tank. The big question mark is what, if anything, does floss remove in the way of bacteria...
I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Changing the filter floss isn't going to impact bacterial growth. It might slightly help in removing some of the bacteria associated with the detritus, but your skimmer will be doing the majority of this "exporting." Whatever carbon you are using...
Dosing the DIY version is the same as the commercial NOPOX. To summarize, it's between 1-3 mls for each 25 gallons. When first starting I'd do 1ml per 25g for the first week. If it looks good, up to 2mls per 25g for the second week. And finally, go to 3mls per 25g....until...
@diana a , by chance do you have an Ecotech MP40? What I'm interested in is whether or not a Jecod wetside would work with an Ecotech dryside. I've already seen that a Jecod dryside will work with an Ecotech wetside, but I'm interest in the reverse. I'm done buying Ecotech wetsides....I...
The large clubs only sell known branded booze...not the least expensive. You want the no-name rot-gut vodka.....a Travelers, Taaka, or one that actually tells you it's good....
These are THE BEST vodka's $12.99 or $13.99 you can buy....for 1.75 liters. Believe me, the bacteria won't be...
There's a pretty big thread going over on R2R:
The Ecotech pump clones have arrived in Ali Express !!!
I'm pretty sure I saw @diana a 's name in that thread.....if she is Fishface NJ on R2R.
