He dishonestly left out the fact that the seller had given him a full refund for the corals that he bought in his first post. I don’t think that’s an exaggeration. That’s a significant part of the story that was left out on purpose in order to give a false impression about the transaction and...

Isn’t this exactly the type of exchange you wanted by promoting threads to rate your fellow club members and share your experiences about them on a public forum? And just to be clear, the thread where you made dishonest accusations about a fellow club member, got called out for it, and then...

Why? You’ve already proven how this is going to be used. Everyone’s going to try to make themselves look good and make the other members look bad when there is a dispute. It’s going to bring out the worst in people and already has. Instead of encouraging people to work it out privately for the...

I’d barely call a two page thread ”long” or a thorough discussion about the pros and cons of rating other human beings and the impact that’s going to have on this group. Also, there were plenty of people that expressed reservations about this in the initial thread. None of that appears to have...

If we have a problem with people flipping corals, why hasn’t that been handled with private conversations? At the very least these seller feedback threads should have been limited to the problem that was being solved instead of opening up a whole host of new issues. If the problem is flipping...

If the leaders of this club decided that public feedback where members can complain about each other was a good idea, perhaps this isn’t the club that it used to be.

You’ve already sabotaged another user by intentionally misrepresenting the facts and this system hasn’t even been up for a day!

It’s not going to calm down. It’s always going to be a place to air dirty laundry. If you have a problem with someone in the club you should have a private conversation with them, not post publicly. As has already been noted, this club is run by volunteers and they shouldn’t have to police...

This isn’t apparently true at all because the BOD has seen it necessary to create personal feedback threads so that some members can publicly flame other members instead of responding in private and working things out. You can’t create a system where things are aired publicly and then claim that...

Just because this is a requirement of the DBTC program, doesn’t mean that the appropriate response is for BOD to publicly berate a member on a thread.

I agree with this about the increasing lack of basic civility on this forum. BOD has become abrasive and disrespectful to the members and it seems to be increasing of late. Their primary objective these days seems to be about supporting LFS and protecting their businesses instead of focusing on...

I think someone on BOD should reach out to this member personally via PM or preferably phone to determine what the issue was. It’s probably not helpful to post publicly in this thread about the possible reasons they decided to leave. When we have personal issues at work, we have one on one...

Appears that they are roughly the same. This warping isn’t an issue if you use solvent to build a sump since everything is welded together and that prevents the pieces from warping. It’s an issue when you have a piece that’s not secured as it will warp and then not sit flush. You could...

You may want to try using the low range measurement. Look through the side (instead of looking down from the top) and match the color and divide by 10 (so 50 becomes 5) Looking from the side is more accurate and measures lower numbers. It should at least confirm that you are over 10.

Not sure if you know, but you want to polycarbonate not acrylic from TAP. Acrylic will absorb water and warp.

Just wanted everyone with neros to know that AI now has guards available that go on the back of the powerhead. If you purchased one of the original neros, the new guards cost 10 cents plus $12 for shipping. Limit 5 Per order. https://shop.aquaillumination.com/collections/nero If you buy a new...

General Cure is prazi and metro. Prazi is definitely reef safe. Metro is probably reef safe and unlikely to be an issue in such minuscule quantities from a previous dose. IMO, you’d be fine to drain it, clean it with vinegar, rinse well, and fill.

Turns out my PH probe was cracked and had some water in the tip. I removed it and it seems to have fixed the issue. Also, touching the tip of a broken PH probe is stupid and hurts, a lot. Does anyone know definitively if I can use any double junction PH probe with the GHL or do I have to get it...

I still have these and many, many babies. PM me for them.

Ich can encyst on "glass, plastic, gravel, metal, wood, and 'shell materials' including staghorn corals." - Peter Burgess 1992 study If you are trying to avoid ich in your tanks, you need to quarantine all inverts.
