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.
people use the show for networking. You have a lot of YouTube people
That run their own business and they didn’t pay for a booth. I think the real problem is the show has gotten to expensive for local small frag shops.
They need to find a smaller location with a cheaper price. Then they can...
Hanna can be off by a whole point. I wouldn’t change anything. My setup is in the basement so my ph is always low. I open windows/ dose kalk / run a huge skimmer and I run my line outside/ I run a refugium and my ph is low 8-1 -8-2 .
So I wish my ph was as high as yours. I wouldn’t do anything...
That ph should be fine. You can turn off your refugium if you have one. You can run it for less hours. Turning your skimmer off will also lower it. What salt are you using? Some salts mix with a high ph.
I would also check with different ph probes.
in my house I use the apex/ Hanna/ seneye...
I think it’s great that people are willing to host and open their homes to strangers.
I have been to a couple of meeting and I personally think more people would show up. If we had meeting in a public place. I think it’s too much stress for one person to host. If we find a public space we can...
I don’t think we need to re-invent the wheel.
I think we can copy what works at other reef clubs.
Local Frag swaps / question of the day like reef2reef does.
Guest speakers/ personal reviews of products from reefers not sales people.
Lfs spotlight videos.
Your temp of the tank maybe higher than what it’s program.
So it will turn off the outlet if the temp is over 80
I have learned to to let the apex control much.
I have my apex just to monitor and not take action. I have it setup to notify me and I will take action.
Yeah on paper that sound like a good idea. You will have a wire nightmare.
with 4 plugs. It’s also cheaper to buy 4 x 61” t5
Than 8 x 36”. I sold my 36” to buy one 61” and now I want
To buy another one.
So since I was not able to pick up any clean up crew or inverts at reefapoloza
I had to order some from reef cleaners.
my order came in this morning and everything looks ok.
Let’s see in a few days.
I have given away tanks 6ft 125. I just gave some one another tank free
I have help a bunch of people move tanks for free.
I have volunteered a bunch of times for different club events.
if I grow anemone from small and I feed it and keep it alive and it splits I am selling that bad boy.
I will never give anything away free. I would sell it for market value. We spend to much money on lights/tanks/ food/ salt to turn around and give it away for free.
reef tanks are not cheap or easy so any money you can get back is a plus.
I I decided to pick one up it’s already costing me like...
Honestly that venue is too big. They only use 1/2 the space. They need to find another location. That is a better fit. I am sure it’s very expensive to rent that space. Then they have to pass the expenses to the vendors and a lot of vendor are saying it’s not worth it. They also had to increase...
