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 was happy with the LR I got from Pacific East Aquaculture, a club sponsor. You might give them a call. They are UPS zone 1 so you can get it overnight for pretty cheap.
I ended up buying this:

Nice, and they just kept dropping the price on me!
Added a male and female square anthias a couple weeks ago, and my new powder blue tang is in, um, quarantine. Very fat happy fish, all said to be from Bali. Anthias just want to eat all the time.
I am almost ready to buy, ha ha.
Decided on a Sony 52" XBR6. Cheapest place to buy it turns out to be Amazon, although bringing it back to the store if I'm unhappy may be a problem.
The price has actually dropped twice in the last two weeks, by a lot of money.
Re: Calif. Academy of Sciences -- Yet More Pictures
The Rainforest Dome itself is a pretty cool exhibit.
You enter at the bottom and walk to the top.
There are a lot of exhibits on the way.
There's a leafcutter ant colony which is not fully enclosed. The ants walk anong a vine to this...
