Why can't I live closer.

Any chance you work further North? HAHA

Honestly....I'd bite the bullet...call a few different stores and get the cheapest price on a new tank. I think you are playing with fire......

Thank you Toad! Do I just google Navy archives?

He served active service from January 8, 1945 until August 12, 1946. And then inactive service until August 12, 1951.

Paul....I can understand coming home with items you aren't supposed to, but aren't ribbons and medals usually given out by the officers in power at the time?

Thankfully he never left the US...the war was over by the time he finished radio airman school.

It is definitely that ribbon. But it says it was only given out until 1941. He didn't enter active service until 1945. Wikipedia says "The medal is authorized to military members who served on active duty between September 8, 1939 and December 7, 1941." So confused!

My grandfather has two Navy Ribbons without the medals (don't know where the medals are). His DD-214 says he was awarded two medals, the American Theatre Medal and the Victory Medal. The ribbon on the left is the WWII Victory Ribbon. The one on the right through google searching I have found is...

Best way is Scuba. If not, then a net. May not be able to see them from the rocks, so kind of a throw the net and pray :)

Check out Shark River Inlet. A lot of tropicals get caught up in the gulf stream and end up here this time of year. Our ocean temps are surprisingly nice this time of year.

After seeing the thread started by @Mark_C on how his SPS started dying with increased tank temps....it got me thinking. I have seen many reefers have this issue when their tanks reach temps 80-84 degrees, but is it different then in nature? It seems that once our tanks reach anything over 80...

Thanks @njtiger24 aquariums....I have been keeping my salt in the garage since December...I guess the humidity the last couple weeks was too much to handle. I probably have a bucket around somewhere....good idea! I started buying the RC in the 200 gallon boxes since they are better value.

Thanks Paul (@redfishbluefish)! First off....I NEVER use tap water, but in a situation like that, I wouldn't have had another choice as everywhere was closed by then. I didn't see your response in time, so I ran the water that I removed from the tank through a very fine sock and put it back...

After further examination I noticed the bag that the salt was in has a yellowish hue to it where the salt was touching. Did the humidity cause an imbalance in the salt? Should I use tap water with the new salt I have here?

In all the years i have been doing this...I have never seen anything lile this. I'm in the middle of a water change. I mixed up the new water just like I always do...I emptied the tank and when I walked back over to the bucket of new water it has white speks floating on the surface of the water...

Anyone ever heard of Okuma?

HAHAHA....not an option. The pole itself is pretty solid. Landed a dozen or so False Albacore last year. Love those little torpedoes!

I'm not a huge fisherman, but I enjoy it. I inherited a cheap 2-piece rod from my mother-in-law. It was probably bought at Walmart haha. The pole is ok for fun lighter tackle fishing, but the spinning reel on it is toast. Looking for a suggestion on a cheaper replacement reel for use in...

We have a website committee. I think I'm on it. I have some web design knowledge, but no knowledge with XenForo. It can't be that difficult though.
