    Always get logged out

    It seems like no matter if from my phone of my desktop every time the site is idle for awhile or if you shut down and re open, it forces me to log back in, and before you ask Yes I have checked the box saying to keep me logged in. Is this just my issue or are others having this issue as well

    Roc's 120 version 2.0 - FOWLR tank

    After having no tank for over a year, I am going to restart my 120, only this time I think I will stay away from corals due to time constants. I havent started cycling yet, so stocking is a little ways away, but I am getting the bug, and usually for me when that happens I'm all over it. SO Far...

    FOWLR aggressive tank ideas

    So the more I think about my shark in a 120 idea the less i like it. (still not saying it cant be done) So I have been rethinking the idea a bit and now I'm thinking maybe I want to do more fish which are smaller and could provide more movement and entertainment. I will start a new tank thread...

    Small sharks in 120 gallon

    I know that for years we have all discussed how big does a tank need to be to house XYZ fish, and yet I have seen what would be considered over stocked or tanks to small home healthy larger fish for long periods of time.

    Tang police = ethical husbandry and propagation of marine life

    I have seen a lot of posts lately about how BAR members are not the "Tang police" which is fine I guess, but as I thought about it, isn't being the tang police really just someone looking out for the "ethical husbandry and propagation of marine life" which is this clubs mission statement...

    Would you put a picasso triggerfish in your reef tank

    I super want one of these, and keep finding info that they could become aggressive (since it would be the smallest fish out of the big boys not to worried about that) but nothing about how they eat corals, I'm not looking for google answers here, but things based on real life info.

    A question for the nem experts out there

    Earlier today I saw that my nems (which had moved off my perfect rock for them becuase I am a dumb ass and I made a bridge outta rock by accident) were stinging the hell out of my best SPS pieces, I knew at some point I was gonna need to get them outta there and back on to an isolated rock (this...

    Mixing your own 2 part

    I think at this point most of us are aware of randy's recipe for mixing up your own 2 part (http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-02/rhf/index.php) But my question is if your using the 2 part sold at a place like BRS it comes pre-packaged, however if you get it from one of our sponsers like...

    Is there anyone coming from the Pittsburg area that could grab a coral for me and bring to the Bar meeting

    LeviT has a coral for me, but he can't make the meeting, I'm wondering if anyone else is coming from that direction and could grab it for me so I could begin to prop this for return to the club.
