Legend has it that the innovative DBTC program all started when a BAR member said he would like a way to pay it forward and provide corals to other club members. DBTC has since been emulated by reef aquarist clubs all over the world. Do you have a burning idea you want to see materialize in...

That would be a huge help, Geneva - you rock! Do you drive a roomy car? If not, we could try to have helpers stop by before and after meetings to pick up and drop off. We can also make sure to have help for loading and unloading at the room in Chabot. Could someone in the East Bay with a...

Jiminy jillikers!! The whole store is so suave and sophisticated - no way I can go in without feeling out of place. :D Congratulations Robert and Cerissa on the big move!

Philip, your post resonated strongly with me. I apologize for taking so long to reply. At the end of the day, BAR is entirely built on the work of volunteers who put in their time and energy. As a part of the web team, you are probably more aware of that than most people. Discussion is most...

Right on the nose! We are sorely in need of new storage options. If a volunteer is able to take on store items at your residence and are able to haul it to the meetings (or arrange to have another club member do so in your absence), it would be a huge help! The club's storage needs aren't too...

Thanks for your support for BAR over the years, John! Looking forward to seeing all the amazing pieces and project you are working on.

Lots of interesting points here. Congratulations, everyone participating in this thread is automatically inducted into the swap planning committee. :D There are certainly multiple philosophies concerning participation in swaps, and it's not possible to please everyone with the way things are...

Awesome gesture!

Matt, I am near Piedmont Ave and could assist with vacation tending. The most common words to begin stories about tank catastrophies are: "I was on vacation..." Having experienced aquarists tend your tanks while you are away is one of the best informal benefits of being a member of any...

1. Late registration fees Registration fees go up in the week leading up to the swap to prevent last-minute fragging. Cutting and gluing frags the night before the swap does a disservice to BAR's mission to promote responsible husbandry. In an ideal situation everyone would have healed frags...

Anyone want to try their hand at hatching the eggs and rearing the larvae? There's never been a better time - the Breeding and Propagation Workshop is right around the corner. :)

The expansion is very exciting - congrats to the Neptune team! I will miss the old store just a little, though.

We can look forward to some awesome dry goods and livestock for the silent auction at the swap. Several of the club's sponsors have pledged/donated the stuff below. Stop by the silent auction table for a chance to take these home - all proceeds go towards BAR to hold more club events and...

Thanks to everyone who participated in the swap! It was great to meet many of you and for the excellent feedback and ideas. Special thanks to Charlie and Sergio for running another fantastic swap! We also appreciate everyone who helped out with setup, registration, coral corral, and cleanup...

Is that a Jason Fox Snakehead Acropora in your pocket, or...? Nevermind!

You want BAR shirts, we've got BAR shirts in blue, green, and black! All colors and sizes are $20 each.

The setup crew arrives at 10am. You can check in your corals at that time, however be forewarned there will be extra scrutiny for proper labeling/containers/fragging. ;) If that's not early enough, perhaps consider dropping the frags off with one of the attendees?

Nice work! You can reduce chipping by going extra slow just before the bit breaks through the glass or using a backer piece of rigid material like aqua-nut suggested. Looking forward to seeing the results on the 40B!
