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 spot treated and then dosed hydrogen peroxide (less than recommended amount every other day, for 7-10 days) a while back and had a bad experience. Snails died over the course of a few weeks and my chaeto suffered, then I had a strange bacterial outbreak on my rock. Resembled Dino’s but...
Any other coral you’ve moved lately? Oddly my toadstool used to stay closed most of the time, opening briefly every couple of days only. One day I moved a Kenya tree that was on an adjacent rock but close in the water column and that changed. I hadn’t heard of Kenya tree putting out chemicals...
Andrew’s a really good guy, knows his stuff, and is generous with his time. The guy just likes talking the hobby. If it was closer I’d go more often, but as is, it’s still on my short list for fish and inverts. Knowledgeable staff, quality livestock, and for the most part great prices. When...
That 10 gallon is great. I know my family would like it better than my mixed reef if I set one up. Definitely on my to-do list....going to follow this to see when you solve the problem. Though plenty of folks would love to learn how to kill Xenia lol
We’re down in Florida for the holiday weekend and came across a very cool place I thought I’d share-the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton. A highlight of the place is a sea turtle rehab facility for injured/sick turtles that are found along the Florida shore. Florida Atlantic University...
If they’re building up near my corals I crack them and let my wrasse do the rest. For the most part they don’t bother me though.
Nightmarepl, Are you using dry rock in the new tank? I started with dry pukani and though that definitely limited the unwanted hitchhikers I still had several...
I’ve taken to a freshwater dip after the traditional dip (I use The Dip that was given away at Reefapalooza a couple years ago). Curious what people think of the FW dip? I do 3-5 minutes in the dip then a basin of tank water, then 1-2 minutes max in FW (RODI)
these white squiggly lines have been on my pukani rock (only in the shaded areas) for a very long time....they never move (at all) but do seem to have increased in number. Today I notice some red on one end of the larger ones. Any idea what these are?
Not at this meeting because it’s a rented site. Byob required hiring an elks member as bartender/babysitter and had liability concerns, so we declined.
Doors open at 12, it'll go until crowd thins out s try to get there on the earlier side. Vendors (not always but there are several setting up at this meeting), raffles, mingling, food, etc.
Cool guys, looking forward to Saturday. We’ll order food based on current reponses but if you didn’t respond, come anyway! We’ll have enough and we can get more if we need. Looks to be a great turnout so far, but as always the more the merrier.
