I have a plethora of these very nice fish. They have been breading again. They are wonderful fresh water fish that unlike so many plecos. Do not get big They are excellent community fish and are real good algae and waste eaters. I am of course assuming I am not the only reefer who also has...

Good morning all. I suppose this is a question for the board but perhaps other would like to know. When I first joined NJRC. Mrs. Sponge and I clicked on a link on this site that said something like... print your official club card. And we did. And I have them. I am aware that for some reason...

Looking for a gyre to replace my dying one. Something used but working. central jersey area 07735. please PM me if you have one you no longer use. Thanks M. Smith. Aka Sponge

Definitely set for Halloween with this lovely BOUNCE PUMPKIN HAHAHA

Did anyone else go to the Philly Splash Yesterday? The Sponges went and of course we saw some of the usual stuff but personally it was the best collection of spectacular corals that I have seen at a single event. Even better than Reefapalooza. I realize we are extreme newbies and have only been...

We recently found two of the following animals in our tank. I personally think they are rock anemones. They are very small, between the size of a dime and a nickel when fully expanded. And disappear at night. Has anyone seen anything similar

Today we picked up a cleaner shrimp and during the drip acclimation process. My middle daughter noticed a bump in his Carpus. Fearing an illness I did not want to put it in the tank. After and extensive search. We determined it was a parasitic isopod. Further search and we learned how to...

I have a Tunze Ozmolaor. (Hopefully spelling is close enough so you all know what I am taking about) the pump fails about twice a week and I have to bang it a few times to get it to go. I called BRS and they said there wasn’t a different brand pump I could use with it. I find that incredibly...

impromptu mini survey... Thinking about the future and the possibility of a frag tank. (Or two) What do you all recommend for frag tanks. Dimensions. Prebuilt or home made Glass / plexi / or tub Sump-rock-flow-lighting. Anything and everything. There are NO wrong answers here. I trust the...

Just found this in the fuge. Only thing in with the macro are assorted snails brittle stars and a pleathers of copepods. Could it be a snail egg. Or is it something I should remove

Notice... Absolutely Fish is having a 25% off your entire order today and tomorrow. But it does come with a catch. You must have a golden ticket to take advantage of it. I just so happen to have two of them so if anyone near me would like one. Let me know. I could put it in my mailbox...

I found an Aiptasia on a frag in my quarantine. Removed the frag. Scrubbed it clean. Rinsed with tank water into sink and put back in quarantine. How long do I need to wait to see if I got it all. Or how fast will it reappear to where I can see it if I did not get it all

I recently learned a “new trick” and am so impressed by just how well it works that I felt I had to share. It works so well and it’s so simple that I am confident that many of you will think duh. No kidding how else would you do it. To be clear... although I am new to reefing. I have kept...

As many of you know, just about everything I have related to reefing has been purchased used from others. And this is great and I have no regrets. But with that said. I have a bottle of Coral RX from 2014. Yes that’s not a misprint. I have ordered a new bottle but do not expect it til...

Hi all. I’m looking to rent or borrow a PAR Meter. I know BRS has them but I’d rather give my money to a local refer. If anyone has one somewhat near Keyport... awesome. But I will travel thanks all.

As new reefers, or should I say soon to be new reefers. Right now We are a couple of people with a tank of water :adoration: My wife and I peruse the local fish stores, we look at photos and watch videos on the net and dream about a tank stuff full of wonderous creatures. The problem isn’t that...

I have been searching the web for water storage containers new/used. In an ideal world a couple of 75-100 gallon containers would be great but do to location and space I’m sure I will have to be flexible. There are more than enough manufacturers out there but the shipping is outrageous. Do...

I have been reading my But off about lighting and frankly I am getting the feeling It’s one of those subjects like politics and religion were people are extremely polar. To start my DT is 60” wide 24” deep 18” front to back. I would like to use a hybrid T5/ LED solution and I intend on...

Hoping today’s experience gives whoever reads it a chuckle. Although I am extremely new to the reef scene. I have kept fish tanks for several decades and have had my share of ups and down. To prefix the events that follow, you should know that my wife was visiting family last month while...

As our tank begins it’s cycle I am looking towards the future. I have a tank plumbed in that we intend to use as a refugium. The question is do I go bare bottom, sand or mud. Please share Any experience, opinion or view. I wish it to not only act as nutrient export but also as a haven for...
