    Just had to post this....

    Darn, I must have missed this debate!!! Is the debate "Sauce" versus "Gravy" when it comes to that stuff you put on your pasta? This isn't a Jersey thing, I think it's more of a real Brooklyn (NYC) Gumba thing. I don't mean to pick on NYC, but the only time I've heard the debate or use...

    Vodka Dosing

    I've been carbon dosing for years....albeit a combination of vodka and vinegar (a DIY NOPOX). My suggestion is to start slow and build up to your final dose over a couple weeks. The reason is that every cell/organism can metabolize "carbon" (my PhD focused on the metabolism of alcohol in the...

    Reef Factory Dosing Pump Pro

    Wow! That's a MICRO pump....recommended dose of 0.01 milliliters. That's 10 μl...that's microliters. To give you an idea, a drop of water is around 50 μl. Who is dosing such small amounts? My guess is that these overpriced pumps are going to be discontinued. BRS still has them...

    Dosing advice needed pump product how to

    I dose Dr. Randy's DIY two part (since 2008) and DIY NOPOX, all using BRS 1.1 ml dosing pumps controlled by a ReefKeeper II. The BRS pumps have "real" peristaltic pump heads and are bulletproof. I was never a fan of those mini pump heads....looked cheap.

    Reef Restoration

    It's been years....and I'm terrible with time....maybe 10-12 years ago, we'd donate $$, I think around 5000, to Ken Nedimyer of Coral Restoration FOundation. We did that at least twice because both times he came up and gave a talk, which was extremely interesting. Some of our club members...

    Skimmer Pump

    Is that the inlet port for the pump? If so, yes, you need that. If you can't find that part, I'd first see if a Uniseal would work:

    Cheap RO Membrane Cartridges?

    Bob, check out my post on R2R HERE , where I talk about buying a Dow membrane from Amazon, and a CFS labeled membrane shows up that has a Dow label. Unfortunately I paid Dow prices while I could have purchased a CFS membrane at half the cost. And FYI, the CFS membrane with Dow label is...

    You see a beach; I see a blocked inlet. "Hello, Army Corp of Engineers, break out the dredges."

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Paul, I'm curious if you've ever checked the N's and P's of your Long Island Sound Water? Part of the reason I ask is that I use to consult for environment stuff, and a number of my clients were golf courses. What was found is that turf grass is extremely efficient in removing N's and P's...

    Show us your wrasse

    I have a White Belly Wrasse that has a bunch of AKA's......Yellow Meringue Coris, Yellow & Purple Wrasse, Lemon Meringue Wrasse, and Four Spot Wrasse. I have a crappy phone camera and don't take good tank photos, so I'll just include the Live Aquaria picture:

    Custom aquariums return

    Jim, I'm curious as to how this turns out....so keep up informed. I have always been impressed with Melev's simple but ingenious reverse check valve to break siphon. I wonder how this new siphon breaker really works.

    Anyone from Edison?

    No, the owner/CEO of Pet Life is Joseph Braha. Looking at import info, most if not all his inventory comes in from China. Wonder if your items are still on a slow boat.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    From Penn Station to Asbury Park is about 1 hr and 40-50 minutes. At your age, you're entitled to Senior ticket prices! :oo: SeaStreak from lower Manhattan to the Highlands is about 40 minutes, but you'd then need a cab or Uber or a bicycle to get out to the Hook. Nice ride on a hot day...

    Aquarium care center ACC

    Fully agree and agree with Mark, nicely stated. I believe both Mike and Kaleey will be fine. Mike appeared to be involved in the transfer back to servicing only and Kaleey is the owner's kid. So we've gone from three places in Ocean to none! Tropaquaium, Greg's place (something like...
