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.
I would no doubt lose my cool! AA should know how to handle this as I doubt it is the first time they have shipped a tank this size. They need to compensate you in some way for the headache on top of setting delivery up correctly. They should fly a rep out to handle it in person. I'm sure...
Honestly, I disagree. I like seeing that countries are taking a stand to protect the natural coral reefs. With the advances in our hobby, all corals should be aquacultured now. We should not continue depleting the worlds reefs for our hobby.
Does it really matter? Mike & Nikki were nice enough to host. We have a hard time getting hosts. If this is the only time they can do it, then that's that. If you can go great...if not, oh well. we don't need people complaining on here. Again, it is hard enough to get hosts.
Just checked them out. Not a fan of the wavemaker. I HATE wires in my tank haha. If the wire was outside, I'd be in!
Patents usually last about 20 years. Not sure how old the Ecotech patent is.
Be careful with this part. This is how we used to do group Buys and then a few years back the Treaurer, Pres, and BOD realized they may be in violation by collecting all the money and then paying the vendor and it was stopped. That was a big issue on why Group Buys died. @JRWOHLER can chime...
I do like the idea of video and/or voice participation for members to take advantage of who can't make the physical meeting. I personally have 2 companies and a 9 month old, so it is extremely hard for me to make meetings physically. But if I can access a live stream of the meeting, I would...
Again, I don't know what happened as I wasn't there. But yes, meetings need to have a specific order to them and the order of the meeting should be a part of the by-laws. Cleaning up and revising the club by-laws will solve A LOT of issues.
But the one main issue is that the club MUST have...
Hi Mike....I cannot comment on what this whole video thing was nor can I comment about what the arguments were about as I was not at the meeting so I don't know. But I have to say what you mention here is incorrect. These "get-togethers" are the monthly membership meeting. This is exactly the...
Unfortunately it is highly doubtful the Hydra would get a discount. All manufacturers that require MAP pricing, none of the stores (Premium, etc) will give a discount on those.
Been following this for a while and it is pathetic! The US needs to get it's stuff together and get on board with much better recycling systems and stop using so much plastic. Plastic bags and plastic water bottles need to go! The one foundation out there with any promise is The Ocean...
The BOD Meeting minutes should not be released to the General membership IMO. There are specifics discussed by the BOD that should not be exposed to the public and general membership.
