Looking to offload about 90 lbs of dry rock. Mixed sizes of BRS Reef saver and 1 piece of tonga. Willing to breakup but rather sell lot. Moving an need it gone. Pick up in Elmont.

Think that would fit in a home depot bucket and drive a trip back to east yaphank without it being filled with water?

Anyone know local shops out in Suffolk that sell the Par30/38 E27 bulbs? Just trying to expedite getting them although eBay is likely the cheapest.

Anyone ever try to use high temp paint like one that could be used on a barbeque on a heatsink? That's my only delay really in trying to build a light like this.

So with my mother-in-law having an interest in hermit crabs etc I've decided to set up a small tank with a few of them in it. As I don't want to go hardcore with lighting and such as it isn't really esential if they are fed supplementally, I wanted to make a cool fixture similar to this one to...

Out of all people I should have know you to have a tank like this! (in a good way of course) Was this run independently from your other tanks? Want to keep it as kind of a dedicated tank (almost as a gift even as my mother-in-law finds them the most interesting). Figured mabye a little bit of...

So have a 75 FOWLR and a 12g nano that each have their share of CUC in them (mostly snails/hermits). In my 12g it's almost impossible for me to not see my hermits scurry across the sand or act out a scene from Cliffhanger on the rockwork and almost everyone finds them interesting. Has anyone...

Quick update. Saturday i stripped/scrubbed all the algae I could from rocks, replaced the filter floss in the back, added some snails and hermit crabs to clean up a bit. Got my RODI to the house so will try to make a batch of water and give it a well needed good water change and will stock up...

I have a RODI filter, but as stated sometimes the tap water gets used for a quick fix but not all the time. Have the the TDS tester which indicates 0 on the output so I know its still functional. Will try to tear down the tank this weekend, scrub the rock/backwall down and def need an...

To be honest they haven't been tested in a while and testers are at a diff house still. I'm sure they aren't the greatest as WCs haven't been done consistently and occasional tap water used as top off. Lights are 6W/6RB from a RapidLED kit, currently running both on for 6 hrs due to a timer...

With such a small tank, would something like this suffice? And do I really need the UV although it would keep the water a bit clearer (might not be the best if putting zoa's etc at a later date tho)...

Ok so I'm not gonna lie. I'm not the best at maintenance and am looking for a little help. I have a 12g biocube that I "inherited" and has a bit of an algae problem. It's on a stock stand and no real room for an exterior sump to try and help out. Only thing in it is 2 clowns and a bunch of...

So the other day I was in Michaels with the family and saw a bag of shells for decoration etc. They dont seem to be treated or polished etc. Would I still be able to use them for hermit crabs if i soak them in some vinegar etc to try and clean them up a bit? They were purchased for a project...

where are you located? possibly interested in the sump.

Do MR discounts apply?!? LOL will def check it out as I've been looking for a blackfish trip to end the year. Sadly haven't gotten to go fishing as much as I would like to these last few yrs.
