Check out this site on mantis shrimp. My kids LOOOOOVE it.
Why the mantis shrimp is my new favorite animal - The Oatmeal
Of course my kids now sometimes say "1, 2, 3, DEATH!"
If you read the comic above...you'll understand.
I agree with you supratt that corals need to be protected. But I disagree that this law helps to do that.
Consider the flip side of the coin is that the ornamental industry does help support local livelihoods in places that probably would not have any income. Like the poor fisherman in...
The hours posted for that store (sea gems ) are interesting. Closed Monday/Tuesday. open only from 4pm to 7pm Wed and Thu. They must really rely on word of mouth because the average person walking by will just find a closed store. When I head down to OCNJ later in the summer...maybe I can...
Have you ever seen this write up by melev from the Dallas club? Long ago he came to speak at one of our swaps.
Reef Addicts - How to Organize and Host a Group Buy
The example they use is a 10 person invert group buy. In that case though the delivery is sent to a board member and it's up to...
The clip doesn't always work. I have a powder brown tang that refused to eat nori from a clip. I ended up using garlic infused nori, but wrapped it with a rubberband on some live rock rubble. Leave it in the tank and replaced as needed. Bottom line the tang recognized the nori as food, and I...
I think salt would be a mistake. Years ago salt made sense since it would be cheaper than what we could pay at a LFS. However over the past decade I've seen how large online retailers are able to reduce the price point, be exempt from tax, and then ship to your home for free. Furthermore I...
Great job. Would like to see what the other side looks like...to jeremy brito's point, it would be great if the other side is something eye catching that would draw folks to our club.
I voted #3. But I was curious if we had a more three dimensional pic of choice #1. Not that it matters. They are all great but it looks like #3 is the clear winner.
I am pretty sure "bots" that scan these forums count as "views". I may not be correct on that. This is my first time seeing this thread.
Question: I believe the meetings are open to all folks right? member or not?
Also is the raffle open to all members? Is there a difference in cost for...
yellowhead jawfish gobies do not sift the sand of the tank, but do a nice job around their burrow. They are known jumpers so initially it may be wise to set up a screen. Mine was very entertaining. They tend to be shy, so it's better to add them to the tank earlier. At night mine would...
wish I could come. I'll be in Manhattan all morning for a memorial service. Then later I have to go upstate...I hate hate hate the cross bronx expwy. I would so rather be in Monroe...
Wish I could help, unfortunately I will be in NY to attend a memorial/burial service. If you choose Sunday or a different date, let me know. Good luck!
