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.
There's theory that as soon as we put stars in our tank they begin to starve to death slowly, thus the shortened lifespans.
Big, old, stable tanks are recommended and even then they don't take to many. Mark (MadReefer) is one of the few people I know who's managed to keep one alive for over a...
From before I set up my 1st tank I wanted a Mandarin (fish).
Never owned one as I was worried about it starving to death after it ate all the pods in the tank.
Also never considered feeding them worms.
I have lots of worms, black, white, intestinal, conqueror, etc...
Received an email earlier...
I do black worms and white worms.
Easy enough to do either, minimal space and effort.
You can buy a starter for either on ebay.
Pods are tricky and reqiure maintenance, brine shrimp don’t have enough nutrients (and require some maintenance).
Lemme know if you want more info, can drop it when i...
Sunny,
Since you left there's been a number of new members, but, unfortunately, many of the older and more established members have slid to the wayside and become much less active in the group. As such, there's a small group folks trying to pull things together, distribute responsibilities...
Alk shouldn't be a worry unless its an extreme swing. An Alk as high as 11+ is fine assuming it didn't jump 4 or 5 over 24-48 hours.

Agreed. Started the hobby as I wanted a Mandarin, have never owned one, even after a year of running my 90 I didn't feel the pod population was up to it. NOw I just look at them in pet shops.
I did, however, just pick up a hippo tang for my 20g.
Would also like to drop a thank you to RaffleKing/Anthony for this months raffle frags from TSM ( www.tsmcorals.com ). Purple digi, multiple birdnests, various shrooms, ultra ricordia, blue spot shroom, darth maul palys, 3 high end zoa frags, etc - lots of great stuff!
Thanks to Daniel as well...
Much thanks to J+K for opening thier home to us this month!
Fantastic spread! Great food, great time.
Truly appreciated, though, at 8pm I'm still dealing with a hyperactive sugarblasted 3 year old.
