From the post I read, shipping to HI sounded like much more of a hassle, out of HI not as bad

I read some posts on a forum last night, want to say r2r, they were discussing the subject. Very split, some said legal, some said illegal, OP said he talked to the relevant authorities and they said its ok, you just cant ever sell the fish (would be hard to enforce) because then that would be...

I’d have to do some more research if I were to ever do such a thing, but I wanna say I heard on a BRSTV vid that you can catch fish for your own personal use, its the commercial export that is banned

Pricey! Would rather take a vacation to hawaii and catch my own lmao

I’m still learning and gaining experience, but from what I have heard: BRS: some nutrients are fine, and you want some nutrients, but find a range and stay within it/find balance. Constant swings are bad. Charles delbeek from recent HTA meetup: (watch this video when kenny releases it soon...

If we did go with a colony of hammer that costs money, we could always do a buy in. I know that there have been buy ins for previous contests

I second the coral formally known as acan lord. They seem to color up differently based on lights, could also possibly be a determining factor on who wins? Which has the nicest color? Or use color as a tie breaker?

Kenya tree grow out contest!

I would just be aware if nitrate rises as well. Just make sure to use the formula nitrate divided by phosphate multiplied by 1.53. You want to be below 100, 50 is great

Listening to charles delbeek at HTA yesterday was really eye opening, I think low phosphate is your issue. Using the molar ratio formula, 6.5N divided by .02P, times 1.53, puts you at 497.25. Charles showed us slides showing that reefs are anywhere from .8 or so to mid 30s, and our tanks should...

I’d love to get some of your DBTC zoas and/or mushrooms if possible! Want to hold off on DBTC for a bit until I get more feedback on the thread I created first though. Dont want to slow down the chain if I cant pass on frags for months

I picked up some green nepthea at the swap, and have had some in the past. Seems like a very similar coral, not sure if they encrust differently, but I would think they would be fairly similar. I’ve never had the chance to grow out a large colony, but it seems like they just encrust at the base...

I was wondering if we could work together and come up with some guidelines on how about to proceed with swaps and DBTC when we discover we have pests. DBTC is one of my favorite parts of this club, I think its so cool how you can share your corals with others, while also providing yourself a...

Gotta write down that molar formula, definitely going to add it to my notes when I test

Was super cool seeing the presentation today, gave me a new perspective on N vs P!

Small amounts probably wont be a big deal, but it’s something I would think about for the future, long term use might be bad

Just something else to consider, i’ve read/watched videos that say arm and hammer is made in the same facility/equipment that processes other detergents/soaps/etc, so it can still have contaminants that you may not see as easily

Darn! This is the next one in line for my collection! That was fast lol

I like this idea, but I dont think its up to me to dictate the guidelines
