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.
We met at AqOb yesterday and I was telling you about a viedo that was interesting on feeding but may help you catch them also. Take a look at the like below and then click on "Mandarin Diner".

I was REALLY suprised with what I just did to fill up my new tank. I ran it about 30+ feet and still got great pressure pushing out the water. I didn't think it could do that but it worked fine.
Time for a new update. It took a while with a few mistakes but I finally have salt water in the tank and some sand. I did not plan well when it came to my pumps becuase I am still an amature with all of this.
Here is an updated picture:
I still have on order: more sand, better heater, AC...
I used to use one for my dogs and they were great. They are insured and that is important if anyone is going to be in your house.
I am trying to find their number but I can't seem to remember where I put it! Once I find it I will let you know.
I used my neighbor and I have everything prepared before I leave including the defrosted mysis in little Tupperware, prepared algae already on the clips in ziplocks and they do fine with simple directions.
I have heard people volunteer to help from the club so maybe someone will step up and...
Now that is my idea of a good time. I never got into the sports thing but I would go to the events at people's houses just for the fun. This would be right up my alley!
I just found this in my tank. I think they are kinda cool! They are growing and growing fast. I have seen them really big in other tanks and they kinda look fake like plastic or something!
One other thing to mention. The raised baffle is supposed to be up 1 inch but if I did it again I would raise it just a hair more than that. I found that when I put too much flow into the skimmer side of my sump it will go over that baffle. Not must more than an inch but just a hair more.
I got the small glass from lowes for the baffles and it holds just fine. They should be 1 inch apart.
I had to get thicker glass for the refuge becuase that exploded on me. I got 1/4 inch and it worked great.(cheap at a glass store) It really is cheap and easy BUT you can never put too much...
Yea, that is what I did because I antisipated that. I got the new peice of glass today and it seems like it will really hold up. The glass from Lowes is probably on 1/16th thick and that will shatter really easy. Right when I put the water in I could actually see the glass bending due to the...
