Many of your fine friends from Manhattan Reefs will be there. Something about a suite and a party or something like that :)

We are trying to make sure that all the people that sent you frags get some in return, but we only sent you 14-15 pieces and you sent us 42!!!! Consequently, we are also getting some of them into the hands of additional capable members who understand what our two groups are trying to...

I updated a few things--- trying my best. The 4 auctioned items will be hard to track, but the things listed here plus what is still in my care seems to cover everything.

Hey Everyone, I finally recovered enough from our crazy event yesterday to muster the strength to thank your amazing club for your donations. As Rich and Gresham will attest, MR events are quite different from BAR events so I'm not sure we are going to be able to track what went where as...

Well the official MR RSVP went up today. Thought I'd give you all the heads up. If any of you are serious about attending, contact me or Jon directly and we'll see what we can do about waiving the admission charge and sorting out accommodations. ;) Randy...

I love this project. If you need any editorial help, I'd be happy to lend a hand-- I publish regularly in the Hobbyist Magazines. Seems like you have an outlet already, but we'd love to publish some version of this in Manhattan Reefs Magazine if possible. I would also have no problem getting a...

Now I feel so loved:) Thanks.

Beautiful. What is that last Montipora its stunning.

Thanks folks. I use Instant Ocean salt and have for over a decade-- no plans to change what's workin' now. As for B-Ionic, we literally drink the stuff. There are 3 large systems on display ( I've only posted pics of one) and we go through pretty much a 5g. unit a month. The tank in question...

I agree with this completely. More people run into more problems switching salt as a knee jerk response to the " latest data" than those that just keep doing what works for them . It is also curious that each significant salt study has yielded wildly different and often conflicting "winners"...

LOL. I was waiting for someone to notice. As with all things in NYC real estate is in short supply. What do New Yorkers do? They build up. We have been experimenting with "coral co-op " building by placing small colonies directly on the branches of larger benign species. The large...

Yes it is an Astreopora and it is very low in the tank practically on the sand bed-- I'm not sure I did this for husbandry purposes, more likely that was the best real estate available a the time.

Because I'm bored at work, here are few more shots. BTW, the photos aren't mine. They were taken by MR member Ellebelle (Lissa) who I think registered here. Enjoy.

Of course it counts. Very nice work.
