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.
wait, does this mean youre back?
I've got a 40+ polyp colony that is getting out of hand, but I've never fragged zoas before so this could be interesting. If I manage to get them fragged off, you can have em. they grow like weeds in my tank. keep looking though as I probably wont get to it...
grabbed a ghost orchid stylo from reefgen. under the blues they had it on it looked very normal, but under day light, the flesh is crazy!
and about 12 other corals from various vendors. I loved seeing that high school there! I'll get pics eventually. it's hard to get pics of the stylo that do it...
I had a RKL & loved it. was simple to program, did everything the apex could do at the time. APEX has grown leaps & bounds in terms of modules over RK.
But if all you're looking for is light control, timers, top off, temp control, & pump control the RK will do it for roughly half the price.
now...
Mark,
will you be feeding the corals at all or just relying on light? with the transferred media, I don't see a problem. you might get a tiny cycle the first time you feed(if you do) but no you dont need to IMO.
man I had a blast doing this last year, let me talk to the wife & see if we can make it work. if we do, sunday is the only day we would be able to as we're running a race saturday in NYC :(
I actually had a piece of that "Mad Drama" frogspawn that I won at a club meeting like 3 years ago. I've since sold it & gotten out & then back in but it's interesting that this post is the only other reference to it I've seen since then. great read!
personally, I'd just glue it to the magnet, but that'll depend on how big your frag is & the magnet sizes you get. I can tell you the 3.45lb ones aren't as sturdy as I wanted on my 40B.. but I was expecting full on rare earth metal magnet that are impossible to seperate.
Here's a link to their...
yea, I also use K&J Magnetics: Plastic/Rubber Coated and they work great on my 40B! just make sure you buy mroe than you think you'll need.. you'd be amazed at the @redfishbluefish level of DIY stuff you'll want to accomplish
just in case this sways anybody vote here's the details for NERAC, we could always make a club trip to NERAC since it's at the LI Aquarium.

I vodka dose & finally im starting to see it working. I have a small HOB Fuge that I made out of the lid of a plastic container I got from target & a magnetic LED light I had laying around. total cost including the LED was probably ~$50 and does way more than that 0.2 drop in.
