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.
Just a FYI Dr. Foster and Smith has Reef Crystals and Instant Ocean on sale. The website has RC listed on sale for $31.99 for a 160g bucket but if you use the following item number it's $29.99 - AHW-16882. IO is $27.99 - AHW-16881 good until 9/2.

I stopped by OCII yesterday to pickup some live brine shrimp, walked out with a really nice sps colony. Chris (the resident fish and coral expert) talk with me awhile as I tried to pick from tank full of colonies, tough call. I could've dropped my whole paycheck. Definately worth a trip. Say...
I've noticed a couple of weird looking snails in my tank lately. Move to fast to get a pic. They have a small shell for the size of their bodies. The shell is flat and if you touch them they drop the shell. I usually find them under something. Any ideas?

Last night the NJRC Conservation Committee setup a information display at the Liberty Science Center. The feedback we received from both the guests and Gabriel Rohaidy, our LSC contact, were very positive (we ran out of club pamphlets). Mr. Rohaidy is already looking for future events where he...
I know there are specs on when MH and T5s lights need to be change. I've heard that the spectrum shift starts before this. When do you change your bulbs?

Are actinics necessary for coral growth? I have a fixture with 2 X 150mh and 4 x 39w T5s. Would I get more growth using 4 daylight T5s then the current 420/460nm actinic combo I have now (2 - 420 & 2 - 460).
I bought this coral and the lfs didn't know what it was. He said it looked like a monti but I thought it looked like a chalice. It's a bad pic but it the best I could get (problem focusing on it)Thanks

I just purchased a ro/di unit (in the last group buy). I just finished filling my containers and I won't be using it for about 2 weeks. Do I drain the unit in between, leave it filled? Thanks
After reading the for sale sections on njreefers and reef central for a while I've noticed a lot of burnt out moonlight LEDs on hoods. My understanding was that LEDs lasted for about 10,000 hours why so many failures.

I need to move my 46 bowfront 2" more away from the wall and 6" to the right. Has anyone ever moved a tank without breaking it down. It's on a Oceanic composite stand. I can remove about 20 gals without exposing my LR and corals.
