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.
Dr Mac. He does a lot of aquaculturing in his facility. Some of them purchase aquacultured corals and others will purchase corals from locals. I don't know of any that resell 100% aquacultured, but baby steps, right? ;D
If the nutrients are in your system, better the cyano in your sump than DT! I would tolerate it there until you did sufficient nutrient export to eliminate it all together. If your nutrients are low it might be the bulbs you're using over the sump may be making the most out of what little you...
Thanks Taz, Arvind & Nick. We have worked (inconceivably) hard over the last 5 years for the enjoyment and education of the community. Your appreciation and support really mean the world to me. It makes all of the countless, seemingly thankless, hours feel so much more rewarding.
It has been a...
Sounds like a perfect birthday to me! Glad it was a good one. Now where is that "beautiful day outside"? I could use one this weekend, though today got pretty close!
The email went out to the email list that we had from MACNA. It's possible that we hadn't picked up your email yet. Sorry! Unfortunately time didn't allow for a new list to be pulled.
The Domain Registrar was having problems and we got caught up in it since our account was expiring. It was set...
Wow. I've only ever had one fish jump (up onto the cross brace). It was an angel that was really spooked. 3 or 4 fish jumping seems like a lot, especially when they aren't on the list of typical jumpers. Wonder if there's something going on that is chasing these fish out of the tank. What else...
We keep egg crate across the back of the tank (gap bewteen the hood and the tank) to make sure that fish don't accidentally jump out of the tank. Doesn't always stop them from doing something stupid (one jumped onto the cross brace and fried under the halides), but it helps the bulk of the fish...
If EVERYONE takes less from the stores (that don't support aquaculture) then we WILL have an impact. We are who they are supplying and we need to encourage it with everyone we speak to (store owners alike). There are lots of opportunities for stores to carry aquacultured corals. We just need...
Congratulations to all the new officers. You have a great responsibility on your shoulders and a thankless job ahead of you. Don't ever let that get you down. The people who silently appreciate you far exceed the loud minority.
This club, these members and our new leaders are capable of...
Absolutely T5. I wouldn't purposely/knowingly put PC bulbs over any reef tank. Their short life span and dramatic spectrum shift make them unsuitable for our application. I have no idea why LFS recommend them at all.
Sorry for my mistake, I don't look at those (they're not obvious when you're scrolling through a thread).
You're having great growth with yours! Much continued success with your colonies.
