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.
What kind of deep discount do you suggest ?
Also for the Live stock. How would you like to see the following handled
DOA.
Dies in tank within 3 days
Reputational risk to store. If a buyer goes on a negative spree b/c he didn’t like the way the specimen looked etc.
Guys. Let’s keep this one simple. For example.
Group buys with xxx vendors.
This will make it easier for the next step when the BOD needs to reference this to take action instead of wading through 100s of post in essay format.
Thanks guys. But again your detailed opinions can be thrown...
As a finance guy. I’ve always looked at value propositions in everything. Simple economics always comes down to this question.
Does the value I receive exceed my cost?
If the answer is yes. I join or buy if not I move on.
To this effect. Let’s here what would make you convert from...
@njtiger24 aquariums would you be able to great a forum for paid members that would be open ground to post opinions and criticism of the BOD? Similar to vendor feedback... it should help the club?
Assuming the current board agrees?
Maybe elaborate on the bad decisions. That drove you away?
That would help the current and incoming board understand. Please feel free to post here or PM. I’m interested in all feedback. Even if u call me out of my name and they are negative. It all helps in making informed decisions...
All great points. And getting the members involved and converting a lot of members into paid and participating memberships. Is the top two goals of the BOD.
The massive drop in attendance and interest is highly concerning. The first thing I would do to try and fix this is to find out from the memberships what is the hesitation to attend meetings etc. The other thing I want to focus on is getting an inventory of all the Saltwater shops in Jersey...
Honestly. I wouldn’t make this my agenda by pretending to assume I know everything that is needed to be fixed.
The first thing I would do is setup a survey or even a Q&A. Where everyone can chime in and list their wants and needs or gripes. Once this is done I would review with BOD and...
+1. This comment is not directed at anyone. It’s a sentiment I’ve picked up on and needs to be fixed. There is no need to point fingers or even be concerned on how the problem came about. We can just fix it and move on.
Sorry for this long post.... You can thank @JeremyBrito too. but i really feel strongly about this!!!!
I started reefing over 10 years. I was completely loss and was using tap water in my saltwater system. On the verge of quitting, I visited Aquatic obsessions and Will mentioned NJ Reefers...
Like judeo. Said. I wouldn’t trust the numbers and given the constant load. I don’t think it matters. The weight of either one will concern me over time and u can literally tip the whole thing over from the side.
I don’t trust these things for tanks.
If you go with the lowes/hd version. Be forewarned. That thin aluminum brace is very flimsy and can rack very easily. And in addition the particle board that comes with it is like .5 inch and flimsy as well and might give with that weight. I have tools on mine and it’s already sagging in...
Maybe you need to elaborate on this setup. But if you are putting calcium media to be melted. How do you plan o providing CO2 and what is the impact of CO2 on carbon.
