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.
So sorry to see this rob. I know how it feels. Please let me know if you need room for any livestock. My parents live up the road and my brother has a 120 reef there. I'm sure he will be happy to hold anything for you. Keep your head up it will look just as good if not better soon enough.
