    Also, who was pushing for this rule? Were there a good number of supporting members that wanted this?

    To be honest, this just sounds over reaching and unnecessary. So no group buys from biota can be run by members? Nothing from salty bottom or reef cleaners? I can't share the wealth the if I happen to find a great deal from a vendor if I purchase things in bulk. Assuming every one knows the...

    SPS Coloration question.

    You're probably not going to find an answer that's based on any actual fact or reproducible science. Just be happy it's growing, fuzzy and has good coloration. ;) But generally, lower light (I'd say < 200 PAR) will lessen red coloration in acros. I personally wouldn't try to muck with this...

    Possible to add headers so it's clear what these numbers are for? Thanks for all the hard work!

    DBTC: CC 21 Tails Torch

    I have three frags available. One is a smaller sized frag, but this thing seems to grow pretty fast. Here some pics of my colony before I cut a few heads off.

    Don't know if this falls under bug or new feature, but for the longest time I've wanted to enable searching for strings that are three or less characters. I forgot the reason why it wasn't previously enabled, but searching is very difficult for things like ATO, CO2 monitor, CO2 tank, alk, Ca...

    when in dark mode, some links on mouseover are a shade of purple and al little tough to read. it's blown up in the screenshot a little, so it's a little more clear to read, but with the normal sized text, makes it a little tough.

    Popper's IM100ext part 2

    FYI, this use of cipro was actually adapted from treating anemones from a user on reef central years ago (OrionN, a doctor). Also, it was further expanded on by a R2R user, Amoo. https://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2271385&highlight=anemone+feeding...

    Popper's IM100ext part 2

    I really wish the KFC dip would stop being pushed around as a good solution. While it may seem to work, a single dip is NOT likely going to kill or prevent the bacteria from replicating in the future. Also, the potential ramifications are not worth it IMO. If you're going to use antibiotics...

    Tikis return to the hobby, 40B

    You probably won't get much flow through that with the head pressure. I'd guess you're going to get 100-125gph if you're lucky. I'd recommend getting something with a little more oomph. At least in the 500gph range (e.g., a sicce synchra silent 2.0) - though to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of...

    BAR and all things social media

    Because times evolve and not everyone is an old fart like us. Young people access info different ways and can be a great way to invite the younger generation into being active reefers in our community. Stop being closed minded.

    Am I destroying my "tank is quarantined" stance if I add this clown?

    It's always possible that ich is present if you haven't treated for it, but conditions don't allow it to multiply enough to show noticeable symptoms in a fish. Ich usually attack gills first so they could be there without you noticing. Clownfish also have a thick mucous membrane that may help in...
