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.
Ken did talk about this today and essentially he said RTN is a bacterial infection that no one really has a cure for. It can be spread by fish or inverts touching the infected corals and transferring it to others. Fragging is the best solution right now. I had a birdsnest that was starting to...
Thank you to every one who showed up and a welcome to the new members who signed up on the spot to the club. It was a fun and educational event and it was great to see everybody.

If they are small I like peppermints. You can several of them and it really won't impact anything in your tank. I have never used the nudis so I have no advice there. My peppermints eat some fish food but they also keep the aiptasia down.

Posted this in someone else's thread and figured it would fit here as well:

It is going to be very tough to get all the copper out especially with live rock and sand in there. The reason people setup the quarantine tanks is so you don't have to worry about copper contamination. We have two quarantine tanks and marked the one that was treated with copper so we don't put...
