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.
I think theoretically they could blow out a panel which is why they say that. However, that became kind of a marketing thing and they ran with it. If you have seen them really throw a wave in a tank and see how it crashes around, one could say they could blow out the seems, but a lot of things...
Flame wrasses are notorius for turning male even if you have a dominant super male. Right now we just have a pair, one male and one female. We will see how things go down the line.
Fishy time, I swear I will get some coral pics up soon. I ordered a little black frag rack to make it easier to take pics.
This is the wrasse post.
A couple shot of the flames:
Earlie's wrasse:
c. cf. lancelotus
c. cf. lunatus
Depends on what you want to do as other above have said.
I use these:

You are your own resistance, you get a total body workout, they can be used on the back of a door (depending on your door), and they take up no space at all. My trainer introduced me to these...
I will see if I can get some pics up tonight, things have just been a little crazy. The new additions were both from DD, a c. cf. lancelotus (pin tail fairy wrasse) and a c. lunauts (which mighta also get the distinction as c. cf. lunatus as these are also from the phillapeans and may be...
I don't know if the make them for the Koralias, or if they can be cut and modded to fit, but these are the foam covers for vortechs to prevent this.

Back before Sandy messed us up, our yearly schedule included the Frag Swap in the Fall and then we would try and do a smaller event in the spring (usually April) where we bring in a speaker and do a true frag swap (no vendors) or lotto. We have had Ken Neidermeyer, Copps, Julian Sprung and Tony...
Tropic Marin, mixes super clean and super quickly. Don't need too much alk and calc because of the cal reactor so no biggy there. The only downside is it takes almost double the salt to mix to 1.026. There is no perfect salt, lol.
I did not like how dirty the mixing tank became. I had to clean the tank out all the time and it did not mix quickly enough. It is very hard to pick a salt that does everything, I still miss the fact of how little it takes to mix up a WC.
Drop me a PM Sonny, I have no problem meeting at Trop...
Carbon and water change will help as well. Let him get out. They sell foam covers for pumps that you can put on there so they don't get sucked in. I would recommend getting one to make sure it does not happen in the future.
I switched salt and still have this extra bucket kicking around, never opened, never used. The group buy pricing on this is 75$ a bucket so I will let it go for $70. Pickup is in Point pleasant, no I will not ship.
