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.
Ok, thanks. My problem is there are so many different "authoritative" guides on the internet for everything that I tend to worry too much about little things. I guess I will know based on how the corals color up and grow anyhow.
