I'd like to go down to anywhere on the Jersey Shore and help with the clean-up and restoration efforts, but the Red Cross is useless.
Anyone know who I can contact to go and help? Or can I load myself and a couple others in a car and just drive down somewhere and ask if people need help...
The power supply to my MP40 died. Anyone know where I can get a new one today? Radio Shack doesn't carry a 24V/2.5A power supply.
Anywhere else?? This is the only thing keeping my tank alive!!
So now that I am finally moving on my rebuild, I have come to another dilemma...
My tank before the crash was a cesspool of bryopsis and aptasia. The corals that have survived the crash and in the 55 with the aptasia fields (you've got to see it...it's amazing how many aptasia there are in...
What is the proper way to level the stand?
If it is level from front to back and side to side, is that good? Or should I put the level on diagonal from corner to corner as well?
And when using shims, it obviously creates gaps down the length of the stand, so do all of those gaps need to be...
So I'm buying 300 clams for Wednesday's Giants season opener and we are looking to steam them in some white wine, garlic, shallot, etc. What's the best way to get the sand out of 300 fresh clams?
So after Jeff turned my stand into a monster he suggests putting a piece of foam between the tank and stand to take up any gaps.
What kind of foam and I looking for....something like this...
I have a dilemma....before the tank leak I had a really bad case of bryopsis. I was going to bleach the rock before using it again, but now that I've lost two fish, I'm afraid I'm out of time and need to get the new tank running asap.
So my question is...if my rock has been dried in the sun...
My temporary 55 that everything is in while I rebuild is looking like carp...I've been doing 2 water changes a week but I just lost a chromis and my bellus today.
I either need to either find a foster home for my sailfin tang and fox face or another tank just for them to keep the bio load...
Anyone in my area have a HOB skimmer I can use for a few weeks while I get the new tank ready? The 55 everything is in looks terrible....my oldest fish...sailfin tang....isn't looking great. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
So as many of you know my tank sprung a leak about a week ago. This was the second time something like this has happened. I've decided to build the tank again and I will document my success...or failure...for all to see :o
Because this has been the second tank that this has happened, it came...
I just spoke to my LFS that is getting me the new tank and they want $500 for a new stand!!!!!! That is NUTS!!!! I can buy a new tank for $650!!!
Anyone know where I can get a stand for less than that?
So now that my ENTIRE tank is broken down....if I were to put all my rock outside in this hot sun, will it kill all the bryopsis that is all over the rock?
Just got a call that my tank is leaking...the bottom seam is leaking. Anyone have anything bigger than a 55 gallon tank that I can put everything in.
I can't believe this!!! Second tank to do this!!!!
I love SPS...I really do, but I am truely considering going FOWLR!!
I thought I was making some headway with my tank...Phosphate was down to the lowest level ever, water was clear, everyone looked happy...including the Bryopsis...can't kill this stuff.
Then today...I look in my tank and my...
Anyone out there into Firearms?? I have always been into them, but only recently got my FID. I also had an uncle give me a 1973 Marlin Glenfield Model 60 22lr and a 1974 Walther PPK/S.
So my actinics are 3 years old...yikes!! I am going to replace them ASAP.
I found 2 different Actinic bulbs on ReefGeek.com.

I obviously want to start slow with the bio-pellets. Should I only use 50 gallons worth of pellets in my 180 to start or should I go up to 100 gallons worth of pellets in my 180 to start?
