    Many of your fine friends from Manhattan Reefs will be there. Something about a suite and a party or something like that :)

    A Big Thank You from your friends at ManhattanReefs

    We are trying to make sure that all the people that sent you frags get some in return, but we only sent you 14-15 pieces and you sent us 42!!!! Consequently, we are also getting some of them into the hands of additional capable members who understand what our two groups are trying to...

    A Big Thank You from your friends at ManhattanReefs

    I updated a few things--- trying my best. The 4 auctioned items will be hard to track, but the things listed here plus what is still in my care seems to cover everything.

    A Big Thank You from your friends at ManhattanReefs

    Hey Everyone, I finally recovered enough from our crazy event yesterday to muster the strength to thank your amazing club for your donations. As Rich and Gresham will attest, MR events are quite different from BAR events so I'm not sure we are going to be able to track what went where as...

    Manhattan Reefs Spring Swap Info

    Well the official MR RSVP went up today. Thought I'd give you all the heads up. If any of you are serious about attending, contact me or Jon directly and we'll see what we can do about waiving the admission charge and sorting out accommodations. ;) Randy...

    Hi, someone wanna write this project up?

    I love this project. If you need any editorial help, I'd be happy to lend a hand-- I publish regularly in the Hobbyist Magazines. Seems like you have an outlet already, but we'd love to publish some version of this in Manhattan Reefs Magazine if possible. I would also have no problem getting a...

    Prattreef's system

    Thanks folks. I use Instant Ocean salt and have for over a decade-- no plans to change what's workin' now. As for B-Ionic, we literally drink the stuff. There are 3 large systems on display ( I've only posted pics of one) and we go through pretty much a 5g. unit a month. The tank in question...

    Salt mixes tested

    I agree with this completely. More people run into more problems switching salt as a knee jerk response to the " latest data" than those that just keep doing what works for them . It is also curious that each significant salt study has yielded wildly different and often conflicting "winners"...

    Prattreef's system

    LOL. I was waiting for someone to notice. As with all things in NYC real estate is in short supply. What do New Yorkers do? They build up. We have been experimenting with "coral co-op " building by placing small colonies directly on the branches of larger benign species. The large...

    Prattreef's system

    Yes it is an Astreopora and it is very low in the tank practically on the sand bed-- I'm not sure I did this for husbandry purposes, more likely that was the best real estate available a the time.

    Prattreef's system

    Because I'm bored at work, here are few more shots. BTW, the photos aren't mine. They were taken by MR member Ellebelle (Lissa) who I think registered here. Enjoy.

    What the hell happened

    I don't want to totally hijack this thread, but here is a link to what I did last year. This year we added a third system. http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/general-discussion/21611-marine-aquariums-educational-tools.html

    What the hell happened

    That's pretty much where it stands now with us too, but I would like to create a space for people to be able to discuss these projects-- teachers share lesson plans, support each other, share strategies etc.

    What the hell happened

    I feel so, so marginalized j/k. If you get a chance just PM me some info on MR. BTW, does BAR do anything formally with public schools etc.? I'm working on a project at my son's elementary school setting up 3 small systems. We have several other members interested in this kind of...

    What the hell happened

    Thanks I'll have a look. Looking forward to some continued inter-club activity. We are very, very happy with the way this has evolved so far and glad that several of your members have registered at MR.

    What the hell happened

    Ah. Nice. FWIW, I personally have never been comfortable selling frags. ( my elders in the hobby always gave things away for free and out of respect to them I continue the tradition) so this is a very appealing idea to this reefer. Folks on MR are quite generous amongst friends, but it is...
