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.
It all depends on your nutrient levels. I would never add nutrients to a tank in hopes of growing my macro algae though! If you don't have a nitrate or phosphate issue you may not be able to grow it. How long are you lighting it? I would light grape caulerpa 24/7. That stuff likes a lot of light.
Timmy CRIED AND CRIED after you guys left! He stood at the end of the driveway looking for you guys and saying your daughters name over and over again! He was FULLY expecting to go home with you guys!
Bob, thanks to you and your wife for hosting our crew in your beautiful home. We really appreciate you opening your home and your fantastic hospitality. We had a wonderful time! The kids are adorable and I hope to see them at more meetings now that they've attended their first!
Aren't they in the nano? Could they be fed enough in there (with the rotifers)?
You have 14d to figure it out, Rich. Watch for the eggs to go from orange to silver and then you should be able to see the eyes. Generally hatch about 2w from when they lay them down.

For our tank with the eel and other non-reef safe fish, I tend to buy a bunch of snails, put them in and watch them slowly get eaten until I buy them again. I can't be without a CUC (I've seen the result of that), but they sure don't last too long. Glad we're having a group buy on invert next...
