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 don't think so... What do you estimate the odds are for a single tiny Rotifer and/or just a few copepods getting past your peristaltic dosing pump? I think the odds for either eventuality ever occurring are slim to none. If you actually do have an ultimate solution, then please proceed with...
Note: Twenty something years ago Craig Bingman (one of my reefer heroes) wrote an article in FAMA about building a phyto reactor that used tank water for the input feed. He was leaning toward using UV to sterilize incoming water from the tank, but decided it was too tricky to keep the UV bulb...
Nice DIY! I'd strongly recommend against using tank water to feed it - I think it will be just a matter of time before some tank critter gets in the culture and crashes it on you. I've been thinking of building a similar phyto reactor. But I'm going the mini-water change route - taking a...
Assuming you have access to a very large and very cold tank, how would you keep a fish alive for 500 years?
