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.
Ahh, Glad to see Joe got the info I sent him :)
I'll be there as RC Staff.. Sometimes at the RC booth, spend lots of time in the sessions too.. And drinking heavily with the RC Staff and authors after hours ;)
Staying at the Hyatt, getting in friday morning / midday and leaving Sunday night...
I would love to get Randy Holmes-Farley to do it, but he doesnt do clubs, he barely does conferences :(
That would be a good topic, any chemists in the house???
Fragging workshops where members have a chance to frag and not just watch..
Zoanthids
Soft corals
SPS
LPS
Live food culturing (If you give me some time, I will be perfecting my skills)
Reefing on a budget, alternative methods to do things cheaper
I can frag you, but I can't guarantee that the frag will live, nor can I guarantee that you will grow that part back..
But its worth a try! I just gotta borrow Sharks tilesaw...
Let me know when..
;)
#1 M. digitata
#2 Acropora, and it doesn't look happy, possibly RTN'd

I remember saying in chat last night that check valves tend to fail when you need 'em most.. Sorry to hear of your mini flood..
I have ZERO check valves here.. Properly placed siphon breaks will always do the trick, are free to install, and even THEY are not infallible (gotta periodically check...
I go for just dried. Roasted sometimes are roasted in oils..
Don't you love oriental food stores? You can also get fish eggs from there (forget the name) but the LFS I worked in fed the SEASONED ones to the tanks, and the fish loved it, and we never had problems. Personally, I go for...
Aquastick..

The thing you need to remember about putty, its not glue, its an epoxy. This means for it to work, you have to get some into the crevices on your frag, and some in the crevices on the rock you are mounting...
My name is Erik (those of you who were at the July meeting now know me). I am one of the "oldtimers" that Tracy speaks of.. Started reefing in the Spring of 2000 and literally got addicted.. I worked part-time at Hanover Pet for 3 years which helped me fund my addiction as well as grow my...
I think on avg, Saliferts are excellent value for the cost..
But if you got the extra cash, Lamotte or Hach are even better... And Pfizer makes the BEST low level phosphate test kit I've seen, but they are a PITA to find..
Cirrhilabrus linneatus... because its the most colorful fish out there
close second is Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis - because its a cirrhilabrus (can you see a pattern? I LOVE cirrhilabrus)
and a REALLY close third is my little Emperor Angel, Julius because Emperors can live 20+ years and have...
If anyone needs my address / more specific directions for the final 2 miles of your trek, PM me here or on RC and I will get you the info as soon as I read your pm..
