We went through a certified dive shop, http://www.akumaldivecenter.com/index.html and the Dive Master went with us. After reviewing the signals and equipment, we were in a pool for about 45 minutes to practice signals, getting comfortable with breathing, how to find a regulator, adjust the air...

In December, I took an introductory SCUBA class (also known as a resort course) in Akumal Mexico. It was great, I felt safe, and after about an hour or so of training, they took us down to around 40 ft for about 45 minutes. In Mexico, it cost about US$90 for equipment and everything. My wife...

Good catch. I hope they rot. I wonder what kind of sharks 6th Ave sells? Best of luck, Roy

A couple of times, I have borrowed empty 5 gal water containers from work on a Friday and returned them on Monday. Works pretty good in a pinch and the peel off lid stays on pretty good as well. Best of luck, Roy

Calfo was on Reeffrontiers the last few days. In one of his posts, he says where he has been hanging out. Best of luck, Roy

Lefty: You asked for advice and I gave it. Sometimes advice is not easy to give or receive; neither is the medicine that is good for us. Hang in there as President; but, realize that ex-BOD members are so unhappy with how BAR has been run, that they are willing to publicly attack you (given...

Here is my advice: 1. Look for the constructive feedback from the posts. A common theme seems to be lack of communication and a feeling that people's input was slammed, or not appreciated, when they participated in the leadership of the club (i.e., the Dictator acqusation). Whether you feel...

I'll be out of town for the next meeting (off snorkeling); however, I have been bringing Collonistas and Asterinas to the last few swaps for the misc table. At the next swap, I should be able to add the Dove Shells (Strombus grazers?) to the mix. If anyone specifically wants any of them, let...

I have checked that box off in the past and it still asked me for my password the next time I came to the forum. I just logged out, logged in and checked the box off again. When I went over to RC to get the info for Mike, I used a new window. Thus, I don't think I had logged out of BAR and it...

It just happened to me again!!! - third time I was logged on, I read that Mike was having problems finding his surge movie on RC. http://www.bareefers.org/bar/viewtopic.php?t=564&highlight=&sid=239c7d2c6b2bca5ca8feb8fd2bbfeb19 I went to RC, did a search, found the thread Mike needed, and...

It looks like my mystery may be solved. Thanks! The adults seem to stay less than 1 centimeter in length. The egg spheres are about 3 milimeters in diameter. The newly hatched ones are about 1 milimeter. The have the little trunks just like the nassarius. I originally started out with 7 of...

Gorm has had success with the black ones. Best of luck, Roy

Can you post a picture of your Strombus Grazers? More and more, I'm thinking (from other posts I have read) that they may be the same snails that I picked up from Fingerwrinkles about a year ago (he in turn got them from someone else). If they are, they do breed in our tanks. I'm starting to...

For another example on a smaller scale, Lucky Goldfish in Oakland has one on it's main display tank. I don't recall it being very noisy; but, it's only spilling into one tank. At least you could study that one and talk to Hunter about how it was built and how it works. Best of luck, Roy

What percentage of the snails would you say die trying to slip across the border? It's a shame that the wholesalers/distributors/LFS have to plan for losses from the ocean to your door. Another reason to go for snail species that breed in our tanks. Best of luck, Roy

A few years ago, Craig, the main owner of Craigslist, shared his stock with someone else who sold his share to Ebay a few months ago. As far as I have read, Ebay doesn't own enough to call the shots. Both Ebay and Craig try to put their best face on it saying they can both learn from...

Thanks for the tip. From what I heard, Cozumel was trashed; but, recovering quickly. I thought I would take a day trip over there to check it out. I heard several hotels are closed for repairs. It seems that Cancun/Isla Mujeres got the worst of it. The best up to date info I can find is on...

Was that one of the mini carpets from the group buy or a full size carpet? Regards, Roy
