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.

Re: Eagle Reef Systems Moving Location
Did you find them at the new location? I thought they were in the process of moving. You may also try asking one of our club sponsors to accept the trade in for you. Good luck getting it resolved. I'm glad to hear that at least Oceanic is taking care of...

My question is what are the ramifications of blocking the bill's passage? If we endangered yellow tangs like we do cardinals, I'd say we should allow them to be restricted and proudly support them. I'm not about to fight for my right to drive a species to extinction.
FWIW, this would not be equivilent to running 400s (and may well end up wasting more money than it is saving if you're adding extra bulbs). 1 400w bulb will penetrate deeper than 3 250s even if you placed them all in one spot.
With the right reflector, you might be able to use 1 400w bulb per...
