Great advise Darren, and I concur with Paul about the heaters and skimmer pump too.

Quick Update for this... I've already had some people check into this and made a payment to clear it up. - Thanks! Couple quick points: 1. We won't be seeking "back pay" if you're account has been expired for more than 1 year. We only expect you to start fresh with a new paid subscription...

Sorry to hear that Paul, hope you feel better soon. I've had it since last Friday and I'm just about over it now. :(

Are you all flying down or driving? Reason I ask is because I was wondering how you would get home any livestock you may be buying at MACNA? Would you have it shipped or try to take it on the plane with you?

Chances are, your membership subscription was setup as an automatically recurring payment on a yearly basis through PayPal, unless you paid for it at a meeting via cash or check. However, it's come to our attention that some of these recurring payment subscriptions were interrupted without the...

Cool story.

Friends (and future members) are always welcome to our meetings. Just be sure to sign up on the RSVP page so Darren knows how many people will be coming.

That's insane! I hope those reptiles have a fantastic life expectancy rate at those prices. Enjoy the show Mark. Take some pics of the really outrageous stuff for us.

I can't see how cleaning the filter sock would hurt. In fact, I'd recommend you clean it. The main purpose of a filter sock is to catch large particles floating in the water column. This is generally excess food or other nasties that made it down to the sump. There likely shouldn't be much...

Sunny, can you please be a bit more specific with "difficult"? Difficult in terms of feeding/keeping it alive? Agressiveness towards other fish? Difficult to acquire? Something else? Sorry, I just want to be sure I know what I'm trying to guess. ;)

Thank you for being volunteered Sunny. Let us know what date works for you. :biggrin:

By the way, we still need a host for March. It's a "central" meeting so who wants to step up?

They're certainly unique! Cool pair of clowns Kevin!

I know this was directed at spotter, but more than likely he had an algae farm by what he was implying, lol. The process of "cooking" or "curing" the rock is a means of getting all the phosphates and nitrates to leech out (and removed via frequent water changes) before it goes in your tank so...

Haha, yea, I already knew about you Dave and you're probably right. I don't think the people who created those rules were lawyers though... and I certainly am not. ;) Is there really a legal difference between should and shall? They both sound like the same thing to me. As you said, it's up...

I agree with everyone. No light is optimum for this. While the chaeto idea sounds logical, the light will promote the algae growth. Maybe if you had enough chaeto in there to cover about 1/3 of the tank, it might keep the algae from growing on the rocks. But, no light at all = no algae at...

I've had trouble posting pics from dropbox before on here too. I think if you move the pics to the "public" folder, it will work fine. Paul, your syntax was correct and it's likely a dropbox security thing blocking it. Brett, is that some sort of closet next to where the tank will be? Any...

Don't get me wrong Dave. I think it's a cool pic and glad you shared it with us. I just think that if it was saved for the POTM, it probably would have won. ;)

Yea, with that much head pressure, you won't have many options for an internal pump. And as Jason said, the heat a pump that strong would generate would be an issue. Any chance you can drill the sump and go external? If it's in the basement, I'm guessing you have the space?

I believe the general rule is that the pic cannot be previously posted on any local forum (not sure exactly why this is included but it is part of the rules. I think it has something to do with keeping the anonymity aspect so people vote for a pic instead of a person.) In fact, let me dig up the...
