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.
Sorry this happened. I've never had a concern with any NJRC member, and if ever there was a problem, it was immediately compensated for.
When you asked to verify it was a 600 and he replied positively, I'd accept that as well, as I consider this group a good and trustworthy crew. I may be...
Gotta say two things.
1. BRS is incredible when it comes to shipping these things to avoid breakage, they make it an art.
2. This being the first time I'm running, from front to back, a B+B+P+B+, I doubt I'll ever use another combination, it rocks the tank. If I could fit 6 over it I'd add...

Welcome back(ish). And yep, Seapora are the new Deep Blue. It is a totally different company as I understand it. Unsure if they’re using the same manufacture process or not but have heard good things about them.

I’ll back it up as well. These fish are huge, beautiful, and healthy. Saw them 2 weeks back.
Would be all over it but think cramming them into my 30 might be a bit much.
Just saw this pop up to the front page and seems I missed Tom.
Hi Tom.
Also see Zoe.
Hi Zoe.
Just wanted to introduce myself as the good looking, vastly intelligent, superior witted one who functions as the glue to hold this place together.
If the others post responses trying to diminish this...
Bah. Go natural.
Pull the rocks out and suck the bubble algae off them, then spit them into a nearby spitoon like a man.
When I'm not doing that, I'm using 1 or 2 emerald crabs.
Then get some pods in there and a decent small sized cuc to maintain.
