Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
They did not. We kept looking for it and then had to ask a few members of the staff as they had no idea what we were talking about. We googled it and realized the fish was there 10 years ago so not shocked it is no longer there
We are out in Hawaii so we took a drive over to the Waikiki aquarium. Small and on the beach, maybe you spend about an hour there. However they have some of the best reef tanks I have ever seen in a pan aquarium so worth the little trip.
Unless something has changed, getting board approval for group buy has nothing to do with 501c3 regulations. That was done because back in the day, people would harass store owners and websites about giving us discounts because they were connected to NJRC. It pissed off a lot of store owners...
Our experience so far has not been great. We lost the one we got and it was in an 80g frag tank with minimal flow with 3 tank raised pink square anthias and a tank raised blotchy anthia. All the others did great, the regal not so much. They are so small, might have to give them some time...
Unfortunately this goes on at just about every frag show. Vendors who have not purchased booth passing out sticker/coupons/flyers and trying to sell stuff at the shows. It does undercut and piss off all the vendors who bought booths.
Paintman, you threw some epic ones.
Was just talking to @Mark_C about doing one down in our neighborhood this month. We will try and nail a date down soon.
NJRC used to throw a yearly frag swap going back to before MACNA so maybe 2005ish time (before my time so guesstimating) and yes we hosted MACNA Atlantic city in 2009. After that we went back to running a yearly one and we went from small ones in firehouses (like 15-20 vendors) up to bigger...
