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 copuld use the address too. Or just a street and nearest landmark. I will be up that way tomorrow too and would like to get an idea as to where I am going.
Codium seems to be one of the easiest for me to keep. I don't think it will work in a reef setting due to the higher temps. Just about all wildlife, whether it be plants or animals, collected from our local waters are considered temperate and do not last long at reef tank temperatures.

I would reccomened a slack tide at the RR bridge. I have dove there before and it is a nice, and popular, dive site. However the currents are phenomenal going through there.

I will beg to differ here a little. Horses and pipes will not freeze and die over the winter. The species collected locally are native to these waters and winter over in deeper waters. The horses have been collected as far north as Massachusettes, which is even colder than our waters. They do...

Maybe we can get the members to chip in and buy one for the club stock tank. ;)

I saw these fixtures at IMAC in Chicago this year. They are definitely a sweet item. The amount of light was absolutely amazing. It was definitely comparable to halides.
The life expectancy on the LEDs is supposed to be like 10 years IIRC.
Not a problem at all. It was the least I could do after you guys being the generous hosts that you were.
BTW, I really need to get that recipe for the dry ribs and for Deb's clam dip. Or maybe I can get Brian to volunteer her to make me some. :D
Thanks Phyl and John for hosting a great meeting. Great food and great friends were both a plenty.
It was great seeing everyone again and meeting some new folks for the first time.
Awesome meeting Rich!!! Thanks for having my 2 kids and myself in your home. It was definitely good seeing everybody again. The Dr gave a great presentation and his frags were awesome as well.
Thanks to Dr Mac, Merv, Bob C, Rich and NJRC for the new additions for my tanks.
Guess I picked a...
