In other news, @Srt4eric just beats the colors out of his coral with light until they cry uncle.

Cloudberry chalice will be bonus, given how far down in price it's come; @tribbitt Rainbow Goku chalice will be ultra.

Smart and Final usually has great plastic deli cups (8 oz? if memory serves); that's where I purchase all of mine.

Clarifying: To enter the frag swap, it is three different varieties of coral. For bonus tickets, there is no limit on varieties/etc. The rationale behind this rule is to try and encourage people to bring as much nicer coral as possible, and we'll be monitoring what we have too much of, not...

First off: good parenting here; I mean that, sincerely. Second, after your plan of admitting responsibility and apologizing, I would suggest using this as a teaching moment. That these creatures' lives are in our hands, and it's important to respect that. That complacency can (literally) be a...

I'll be catching up on all the suggestions later today. Thanks for the patience.

No worries; you can pass it forward to someone else, Eric's got me covered. :)

I'm definitely interested if I can grab it from you at the swap; if not, no biggie. Thanks for offering this up!

Location: Garden Alameda 1570 The Alameda #150 San Jose, CA 95126 Date: October 19, 2024 Time : 12:00 PM (registration starts at 11:30 AM) Freebies: We will have a table for freebie corals, dry goods, and miscellaneous reefing stuff. Please feel free to bring whatever you'd like to give away...

I also want to point out to people, since Arvin hasn't said it himself, that all his practices are in line with those recommended by Humble Fish. Given how paranoid I am about a fully bio secure tank (for those who don't know, read my tank journal), Arvin is the only vendor I will buy stuff from...

Love that it gets 4.5 stars for 'suction power' when it's magnets.

I'm italicizing, underlining, coloring, and supersizing this. We'll listen to requests/input/questions on bonus and ultra coral up to 5 PM the Friday before the swap (October 18th). Coral check-in is always the most hectic part of the swap and, even with extra volunteers, we do not have time...

Acropora tenuis are thinner with prominent, cupped coralites, seen here: Smoothskin acros are smooth; like lokanis: Millepora tend to be 'chunkier' and much fuzzier:

Lists have been updated. To give some insight into our rationale this time around, especially on SPS: we're trying to get more of those at the swap, given how few there were last time, and to generally distribute more coral throughout the club that fewer members have. For instance, I was...

If you didn't disassemble the whole machine, another possibility is that the electronic sensor somehow became misaligned. You can try pushing down slightly on both of the circuit boards on either side of the cuvette and see if that fixes it (this fixed my first Trident that had this issue). If...

Sorry for the delay on this, which I'm clarifying is on me. SPS list is almost finalized thanks to a significant chunk of help from @derek_SR , who knows SPS far better than I do. Soft and LPS coral list should remain unchanged.

Not a pain at all, Derek, and I appreciate the feedback. To be honest - I'm decently aware of pricing for zoas and LPS is my area of expertise, but I know very, very little about SPS. I tried to do an overview online with the existing list, but may have missed the mark. If you want to start...

Yep; except, depending on how encrusted the coral/coralline is on the walls, you may want to add the citric acid solution first since it'll help break that down too.

Several years ago, the user Randy_Adam_Martin (aka TurboReef, aka GaryWithOneR, aka Bayreef, or just 'Randy Martin' for shorthand), was banned for problematic behavior and user complaints. This behavior went on for quite some time, and didn't stop after repeated attempts at discussing it with...

The ironic thing is, the straw that broke the camel's back - after MANY private discussions with you regarding your behavior, and other members' complaints about your behavior - was that you outright refused to stay on-topic in a thread started by a guest speaker after several requests to do so...
