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'm with @DangerDave I put my drain pipe under the water level to hide the noise and have less creep. Also when I would do tank cleaning I would wipe away any salt creep
I been using magfloat since day one and just like @Sobo's Reef said pad on the outside and the velcro is the scrubber inside the tank. Now I do suggest once in awhile to take it out of the tank and clean it
I have read that the spore spreading is a myth as well. Now I have put two emerald crabs in this tank (different times) and they didn't seem to make a dent in the bubble algae.
I don't think making the sale form public had anything to do with it. In fact that was one of the point to make it public cause 'folks were leaving' by the folks who supported it going public.
I don't know why folks are not as active as they once were. Maybe it's life getting in the way, maybe...
