We are talking about crabs, not girlfriends Tony

NO3 and PO4 are not organics, since organics have carbon in them as well. But in our systems they come from broken down organics, so certainly are related. Also N isn’t the same as NO3 and P isn’t the same as PO4 since they can be in different forms. Note that ICP testing looks at the elements...

I’m not sure I have direct answers to your followup questions. One additional consideration that might help is that a skimmer’s rate of pulling out amphipathic organics depends not only on the skimmer itself and its settings, but also the concentration of the organics in the water. So if you...

Alex @Alexander1312 I think part of the confusion is just precision of term use. So indulge me giving a little background. Skimmers remove dissolved molecules that adhere to the surface of bubbles because they have one side that is attracted to water and one side that is repelled by it. The term...

You are still completely missing the point of why people distinguish their personal opinions from official club positions. Apparently on purpose. Allegedly I guess. I get the distinct impression you are just trying to ruin BAR. You are also personally insulting people for your entertainment on a...

When we announce the upcoming meetings and invite everyone to attend, we want to be able to Feature it so more people will see it. Because of a quirk of how the site is set up, that means we need to put those announcements in the Events & Annoucements section. When we publish the meeting...

Regarding this one point, you are missing the point of when BOD members say that. They are saying what they think and that it does not represent the official perspective/position of the entire BOD, just their opinion. There is nothing wrong with this at all. We are all people with opinions, we...

The only real benefit is limited liability- it’s right there in the name! ;)

I don’t have experience with the marine snow method so I don’t have a comment specifically on if that method works. I’d just like to point out that it sounds like people are talking about finely ground solid calcium carbonate in this thread. Not actual marine snow, which contains many other...

A tank journal is only required if the DBTC originator says it is as a special rule. It’s not part of the default rules. So it’s not a true statement that it’s “usually required for DBTC corals”. Mostly just the rarer higher end ones.

Just that zoas showing up elsewhere without spawning (asexual reproduction) is very common and zoas successfully spawning (sexual reproduction) in a reef tank is exceptionally rare. Like everyone’s personal experience vs almost no one’s personal experience.

You are already on that chain I started. You just say who you gave them to in BARCode once you do. And if you want you can just post on that thread that you have some available.

I could see the tank plus equipment being a sweet raffle prize for an event. People like it all put together. After checking the electrical parts of the equipment hopefully. And if someone is willing to do the hard part of picking it up etc.

If this is the same one you got from my chain 3 years ago, it would be great to offer them there. We don’t have that many people who complete their chains, so it’s cool to see it https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/dbtc-rainbow-ricordea-yuma.28281/

We plan to. Was discussed at our recent meeting, with plans in place to upgrade to allow this and other in-demand improvements https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/bod-minutes-q3-2025.39110/#post-559505

And so the endless struggle continues. So it has been, and so it shall be. For ever and ever.
