Lots of good suggestions already. Not having the skimmer pump connected to a switch that will turn off when the skimmate container reaches a certain point makes me nervous - that just seems like a point of failure bound by Murphy's Law. :eek: Draining the sump into the floor (regardless of...

BAR representing at Dessert First come May(-ish) 2014! Gotta have some way to counteract all the salt running through our veins. ;) If you ever want to give it a shot, please let me know if I can be of assistance. :)

Thanks for the write-up, John! I've heard a harrowing story about the long-term effects of breathing in particulates from salt mixes, and make sure I wear a respirator when making saltwater with "conventional" salt. Were you able to test the water parameters?

Have you checked out Dessert First, an event hosted by Project Open Hand? I haven't gone for the past couple years but would be game to check it out again next year if you're down, and it is for a good cause! :)

Very successful project produced 8000+ larvae each of endangered Acropora palmata and Acropora cervicornis that will eventually be re-introduced into their natural environment: http://packedhead.net/2013-florida-coral-spawning-project-high-res-media/ Congratulations to Rich and the Florida...

My wife found a taker for the reservation - sorry if you were thinking of going, Steve. I might be able help you get reservations there for another day. :) Haute cuisine is over my head, though it can be fun to see what the chefs come up with. Regardless of restaurant, my favorite courses...

When did you become a disembodied head? Good timing - Halloween is around the corner! ;)

Sorry to hear about the yellow tang, Steve... I still find it hard to believe their owner ditched them - thank you for making a valiant effort to find good homes for them.

Need to give up a reservation for 2 persons at Lazy Bear in SF this Saturday. Since it's one of those reservations available only through a lottery system, just wanted to check if any BAR foodies are interested in taking these before they are returned to the restaurant. Saturday, 9/7, at 7:30...

Thanks for stopping by, and best wishes for the new endeavor. I've always wanted to see all the Northern California reef club events on a single calendar.

IMO the risks outweigh the benefits when it comes to biopellets, and as far as I am aware there has been no controlled experiment to show whether they work as promised. @pixelpixi have you looked into sulfur denitrators? From what I've seen they require less maintenance and has less potential...

We invite you to join Bay Area Reefers for our 2nd Annual Breeding and Propagation Workshop! BAR is dedicated to promoting, fostering, and encouraging education and appreciation for the ethical husbandry and propagation of marine life. This event is intended to rally the reefkeeping community...

Has it been definitively established that FW Exit's active ingredient is Levamisole? When I checked a couple years back there were plenty of educated guesses pointing in that direction, but Salifert wasn't telling and nobody had done a lab analysis. My own experience with FW Exit was mixed...

Excellent summary of lessons learned and resources that could help someone get started with 3D printing - thank you!

Keep up the good work, Steve and Theresa! Sorry I missed this thread earlier - donation sent.

Seems they got their heads on right after all and finally made you the offer - congratulations!!! Don't neglect yourself in the race to setup the 210. Hopefully this means you'll be able to replace your dying cell phone soon!

Gorgeous H. erectus and as always, amazing photographs! Hoping you have a change of heart about breeding them - it's a whole new world of fun. ;)

Definitely not! That just happens to have been an early working version of the poster that does not feature all the sponsors. Denzil, the latest BAP poster is available in the club's file repository.

Nice work, Ron and Felicia!

TopNotchCorals is currently in the application process of BAR sponsorship. We look forward to welcoming Tim and Keith as sponsors assuming they meet the high standards of livestock husbandry of BAR's existing sponsors. BAR's policy is to limit postings of a commercial nature to sponsoring...
