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.
Thanks to all who put together a great event. I want to thank Brian for sharing some of his thoughts with a novice. I was quite lucky to come home with quite a lot of new frags and am excited to see how they do. Thanks for a wonderful talk and a great afternoon!
With regards to winter as long as the pond is at least 24 inches deep an aerator will be fine to keep surface tension broken with warmer water to prevent freeze over and allow for gas exchange. Remember....cold water = more dissolved oxygen and fish at low temps are in a stasis. I have 2 ponds...
I will be a few minutes late, but will be there as well (a novice to the reef world). I also need to pay my dues as well. Looking forward to enlightenment.
