... and have solar. Granted I don't have a huge amount of solar, 3.24kW of panels only, but yeah... not a single month this year have I used more power than I produced. Still don't understand that pay rate for it, technically it's not PG&E anymore (even though they still do the billing) so...

... with a water heater. So long story short, traditional water heater leaked, had to replace it, would have gone hybrid electric if I had electric already but I had natural gas which still is cheaper to run IIRC, plus even PG&E are a bunch of dillholes who don't give you a rebate unless...

Please only use it if you are going to use it, not just see if it's worth a bunch off

Some corals are deemed a little more desirable than others as a result we'd like to get as many of them spread out through the club, and we do this via the "bonus round". The way this works is that 3 bonus corals = 1 bonus ticket, and 1 ultra coral = 1 bonus ticket. Prior to the start of...

Ok it's that time of year, again, where we need people to help us make this thing run smoothly details that can be seen here, so what's needed Setup 11-11:30am - Putting up/moving tables, signs on table, listening to directions :) Registration & Coral Running 11:30-12pm. Registration just...

Can someone explain this to me? I get TurboTax or other tax prep guys charging money, they're a business not a charity. But I can print out all the PDF files from doing my tax forms, stick them in an envelope and send them to the state franchise tax board, why can't I just upload/email...

These frag swaps do not run only on the back of the BOD, members who are generous with their time who often do most of the leg work at the event are really the ones who should be thanked for making them work. Frag swaps are no different we absolutely need people to help out, especially when...

Ok, super quick notice on this, totally sorry for that, trying to hammer down a location. Location : H2OPlayar's residence in Sunnyvale, CA will update address as we get closer (plus as of this moment I don't even know the address!) Date : November 13, 2021 Time : 12:30pm to 2:30pm (or whenever...

So seem to have caught a case of the hairy algae (or something) from somewhere in the 40g tank I was just keeping some frags alive in, it got pretty much out of control, until I moved everything over to a 10g nano, and "blacked out" (no aquarium lights, only ambient light) the 40g tank and the...

So very shortly after quarantine began in April the worst happened, the tank leaked. at first I thought it was one of my modifications that made it leak, either way after contacting the manufacturer (or whomever owns the company now) they got back to me super quickly but then radio silence, so...

So there's a list with corals that are bonus/ultra but it's an old list, and even if the list was updated there's bound to be corals that may be classified as "bonus" or "ultra" and would like more experienced eyes/minds to be the authoritative judge on the matter. Basically if someone says...

Ok so got an old Nintendo Game Cube, and just got a new 4k TV, unfortunately the 4k TV only has HDMI and coax as inputs. I'm wondering if something like this...

Will update as more information comes in. Confirmed prizes/donations we will have for the raffle so far. Having a bit of an issue with some banners, they just don't link nicely or their transparent white ones for a dark background (looking at you Kessil!) Sicce Ultra Zero utility pump Two...

After a long hiatus Bay Area Reefers are finally getting back to "normal" events and we are starting with a favorite, the annual member's frag swap! This post may get edited to update information and/or provide various additional links as information becomes available. Location : Seven Stills -...

So we have a frag swap coming, and for those who have never heard of or seen how this works occasionally there are some corals that are a bit more desirable than others for whatever reason. In order to try and get more of these corals circulating in frag swaps a little extra incentive is...

Mom's in line to get one (two?) and had a hearing test and a referral to the Kaiser audiology place, where they straight up told her they cost between $2500 and $6500, with a $1000 deductable, but I don't want my mom to get into a situation that my father did with his eyeglasses where they...

So I reached into the tank to grab the Vortech wetside for some cleaning. Then it hits me "oh crap that is WAY too cold", figure the heater died on me or something, see the controller it's still on and good, go to grab the heater and sump water is nice and warm. Ok what is happening...

So I've had a frag tank setup (40B) after I shut down my tank, and had a few corals go wonky, but now I'm seeing a big wonk happening and have no idea what's going on. So a some acros are STNing, it's not fast but over a period of a few days poof all white. Now one of my larger colories a...

Well seems they're FINALLY going to start transitioning customers to a Time of Use schedule for their electricity, and all under the guise of "helping the environment" which in itself is another argument to enact this system with private investor owned utility service and do so with a punishment...
