metrokat Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 The thing with those is that an encrusted frag plug does not fit. The drilled holes are a great fit for a new frag plug and fresh frags. My frag plugs get vermetid snails, coralline, algae, schmutz, glue drops, so much stuff on them that they don't fit in these anymore. Black rock reef has the best frag racks IMO http://www.blackrockreef.com/index.html Link to comment

tailes Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Deep breaths. Like Lamaze. Nah I didn't do any classes with Tang or Frag and just asked for the epidural. No choo-choo for me! Link to comment
GHill762 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Crumb Crust: 8 oz finely ground graham crackers 1 stick unsalted butter (melted) 1/2 C sugar 1/4 tsp salt Stir together and press to the bottom and side of pan (stay roughly 1" short from the top). Filling: (5) 8 oz cream cheese packages (softened) 1 3/4 C sugar 3 tbsp flour 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest 1 tsp finely grated orange zest 1/2 tsp vanilla 5 large eggs 2 large egg yolks Preheat oven to 550*. Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, and zest together until smooth. Add the vanilla. Then add the eggs & yolk (one at a time) until completely mixed. Pour into your crust and bake on a jelly roll pan for 12 minutes (until the top is puffed). Reduce your temp to 200* and bake until mostly firm (approx. an hour). The center should be slightly wobbly when gently shaken. When done, run a knife around the edge and let it cool and then chill in the freezer for 6 hours. Try not to eat it all in one sitting. just want to say I made cheesecake as a desert for thanksgiving per your recipe here.. freaking delicious. the subtle citrus notes, the rich cheesecake flavor, amazing.. I'll be keeping this recipe I think I could've done better on the crust though, it was really hard, had a great flavor but it was too hard. what did I do wrong? too much butter? Link to comment
Dr.Brain Coral Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I made for our family reunion and it was amazing. I couldn't get it to set properly though. But it was still amazing. It was very refreshing with the citrus. Link to comment

No, I think you have the same issue I have. Too much crust in general. I'm still learning how to make the graham cracker crust thinner so I think that will help. I made for our family reunion and it was amazing. I couldn't get it to set properly though. But it was still amazing. It was very refreshing with the citrus. Thank you! Did you bake it long enough? The middle is supposed to slightly jiggle when the top is done. It only stops jiggling when refrigerated to set. Link to comment
Veng Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 So, I pulled some bristle worms out of the tank tonight. Probably about 50+ in this shot, the longest is probably about 18"+ when fully extended. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I liked that pic so that I could unlike it. Blech. I'm cool with bristleworms, but that's just obscene! I killed a wiggly nasty off of a G. stokesi I got today. Good riddance. Link to comment

Veng Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 I didn't even make a dent in the population.... Link to comment
Veng Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Also, in addition to LE GSP by Veng, I'm introducing LE "blue monster" bristle worms. Link to comment
markalot Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Now I'm going to have nightmares. Thanks. Link to comment
Veng Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Picked and pulled some more out, not sure I feel like I've even made a dent. Oh, and if you didn't before, you should really click that picture above and view the high res version of it. Link to comment
Acielot Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 That's an awesome photo of them Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 If you really want to make a killing on them that won't really hurt anything besides copepods, dip the rocks in freshwater for like 10 seconds, making sure to swish it around. Kills the bitches D-E-D, dead. Link to comment
Veng Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Can't remove any of the rock. it's all one piece epoxied together. Link to comment
Dr.Brain Coral Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I dare you to eat one Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I see. If you ever feel like your cajones are big enough, you could drain your tank halfway, fill that half with RO/DI very quickly, swish it around, then drain it back out and bring the salinity back up. I'm also seeing some people having luck baiting some panty hose, their bristles seem to get caught up in it. Link to comment
