    $50 gift certificate available

    At Saturday's swap I won a $50 gift certificate to Legendary Corals. I don't think I'll be able to use it. I'm just too far away from San Jose and my tank is already too full! What I'd like to do is give this to someone in the club. The winner will need to PM me their snail mail address so I...

    Seriatoporas gone south!

    In the last week 3 out of 4 bird's nest colonies have either died or are on their way to death. Today I pulled out the largest, a one foot by six inch sour apple bird's nest. There were some pieces that still looked they could be saved so I fragged them, dipped them in Revive and returned them...

    It's 6:15pm and the power goes out...

    I know some of you use ESV's B-Ionic salt system. For those of you who don't... It's a four part salt mix. Two dry, sodium chloride and magnesium sulfate, and two liquid, part A and B. This is my first experience with it. When I opened the NaCl bag I was a little discouraged. There were lots...

    Toward the end of July my wife and I are going to Kauai! We've never been and are looking for suggestions about places to stay (prefer being able to cook - condo/house best) and good snorkeling sites. Neither of us are SCUBA capable. Hiking is also a favorite activity. We're not looking for...

    Anyone use Eheim 1262?

    How noisy is it? I just started using one and it makes quite the HUMMMMMMM! I've added some suction cups to it and it helps but it's not as quiet as a Supreme 9.5. Without the suction cups you could get a foot massage just standing in front of the tank!
