@Alexander1312 I wouldn't be against something like that. However always the chance for unintended consequences ie. That store and it habits/ practices makes the news, and somehow becomes the focus (image people see and think of) of anti sea life movement. Not saying likely but it could have...

That place needs to be shut down. And criminal charges filled ugh. I wouldn't be in favor of a total ban for sf even though I'm over 50 miles from there and it wouldn't personally effect me. That store though only been once but was beyond disturbing to me.

Lol good thing I didn't buy a cheap one. I was saying to myself mentally I see so many of that type advertised as like new they must suck in some way.

Good idea we already have a thread for 3d printed request. Not sure the price on materials used to print. Yet I could see merit in offsetting the costs of making things for members. I have never had a 3d printer. Yet I would easily envision there is a slight learning curve to using these...

The line I'm caught upon is non profit. So far our views have all but been focused internally. Non profits typically attempt to reach beyond their own membership or in otherwords invested people. I get it's a hobby and meant to be fun m same time as a club we should actively attempt to follow...

The downfall with most breeding Berghia always seems to be lack of aptasia eventually. This eventually hits those who do it commercially not even counting the guy who occasional sells a few here and there. I agree using club funds to support something thats for profit would be a major no. I...

This has come up before. The thought was based on how inexpensive these are compared to other equipment. Not to mention their fragile nature. They are likely something best left for members to purchase at around $40,or so. Alternatively I've loaned mine out on occasion when someone had...

I 150% agree this is the absolute basic emergency thing needed in power failure. Oxygen. Heat can be maintained with warm water bottles so cold temp be lowered with frozen bottles. Not possible to reproduce air unless you stand next to tank constantly scooping water out and pouring it in hob...

Sorry for a delayed response I somehow missed your post. I had jet lag that first day. Booked a room and didn't sleep at all pretty much a waste of money, so I booked a second night in burgos which I was tired enough by staying up that long sleep found me.

Episode 4: Carrion De Los Condes. Concert, Singing Nuns, fellow pilgrams, and Waiting for the bus to Leon This was more or less a day spent exploring the town of Carrion De Los Condes, enjoying a music filled day, and hanging out with fellow pilgrims I meet in the days prior. The day ended...

Those angels and hippo tang should be left for a experience reefer with larger tank. They look awesome. I just hope no one reaches out for them with in adquate tank size or experience. The angels aren't reef safe as well. So needs to be a fowler in 200 gallon + range for those specific fish...

Episode 3 Hornillos Del Camino to Castrojeriz. This day things actually felt challenging. Sore for the day before not to mention it started raining. It was expected ahead of time. Though I wasn’t mentally prepared for it. You still have 7 miles to go to your destination the warm as it's been...

Last I recalled there was some Amazon type charging type unit that was brought up they were about 3-$400 I recalled. It was a topic on a previous discussion on battery backups somewhere on the fourm. Maybe worth revisiting. I don't think they were that big if I remember correctly. Around size...

Storing equipment is always a issue. Some equipment is small and takes up little space. Certain equipment is delicate in nature and easily broken so loaning things to random memebers meh you never know how it will be treated. I'm confident most people take care of club equipment though there...

Agreed with what was stated here. That time would have been. A exception not typical. Last swap I would say was more normal. The one free ticket this time was to offered up to offset the cost members had to pay to park fyi. Raffles will always have some flex to how they are done from swap to...
