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 know, I have bought from him before. Maybe we can make this as complicated as possible and have him drop it off to my inlaws who are coming up here on Thanksgiving. They will drive by, and Lance can throw the box at the car and if it is caught by our 3 year old niece, we can all do a jig.
If you decide to tie in, my system is setup with 2 return pumps. One is a return back to the display and the other runs the manifold. Off the manifold, I have the frag tank, recirc tank, GFO and GAC. I
It was awesome to see so many of you face to face. We had a ton of fun and thank you for everyone who donated to the raffles. We had around 26 frags total, so that is awesome.
Also quick favor to ask:
For you Vortech people out there, does anyone have an extra of those white sticky pads that you use to secure the wire in place? I could really use a spare one.
Just a heads up to those who have asked and on the RSVP page. We are going to have Italian meatballs or peppers and sausage with rolls. We are probably also going to have some pizza and maybe some burritos depending. I will have some beer, soda, water, iced tea so if you don't see something...
We are big fan of IC gel. We grab the zoa frag and make sure you glue it the correct side down (make sure it can open), leave it in the air for a few second and then right into the tank. Low flow, let it set.
That 20h was our first tank together in our old apartment back in 2008/2009 and it was a great tank. Just enough to have fun, but still small enough for about a total of an hour a week to run.
Favias will grow and encrust so give them something to grow and encrust onto. Acans will grow and form their own skeleton but give them room. Sandbeds can be tough, becuase sand can cover and kill corals. I agree with dppitone, things glued onto the rocks will have a better chance to grown...
You have a way with words that perfectly encapsulates the situation. That is exactly what happened. We had a really good one that got lost to the site crash that was really funny. I believe the term mermaid Nikki was thrown around by you Olivier.
