Of course not everyone will do it, but if it is suggested and talked about, there is a chance that more people will do it. As far as too many corals go, thats why I suggested checking montis/anacropora/porites, the corals that are affected by the current most common pest. More efficient use of...

Very interesting! I do not have radions, and I reached out with a similar question, consensus was it probably doesnt matter much, but I’m in the boat of leaving the schedule as is

100%. I dont think people are nefarious about passing around pests. I just believe the club can be doing more to educate, and individuals can be more proactive, even if they think they dont have pests. I’d love to hear what others think, but I think checking your frags after lights out can make...

And what can we do to lessen this issue? Educate people. Knowledge is power. Show them what the organism looks like. Teach them about the organisms habits. Nicely inform them if you are near certain that you got a pest from them

I know that I’ve been mainly just complaining here, so I’ll offer up some potential precautions/solutions First off, I think its great how much the club emphasizes dipping coral, and will handing out KCL last swap was awesome. I think this is a great baseline in general. I think MEN...

funny that you ask, I was just typing it up lol

This topic has still been on my mind. With how persistent MEN are, I feel like its an all or nothing situation. If we want to eliminate the issue, all members have to persistent in seeing if they have them, and if so, have to really try to eliminate them. If a few members aren’t persistent and...

With how big of an issue this is, it really just makes me not want to have any montis now. I dont want to feel like I cant swap my corals because I’ve done my due diligence and discovered I got MEN, or have people not want to swap with me for it

Definitely agree. I just dont know how people don’t realize they have major pests such as MEN. I came to the conclusion within 1 month of my tank becoming infected

I really appreciate that Michael. And I really think that this is a big issue, and I feel like it should be dealt with, and in an ideal world, have MEN eliminated from our club. But I dont think people are realizing how far spread they already are spread in our club, and I feel like, many...

Also, about this point specifically, I truly believe we are in the thick of it now. 2 members (myself included) have got MEN from the last swap. Good chance there are others that dont know. @richiev has mentioned how they have got MEN from our swaps before. I think this issue needs to be dealt...

I completely understand where you are coming from, but just a few points that I have been thinking about. 1. Not being able to participate might perhaps dissuade people from saying if they have a pest. 2. I got MEN from the swap, I have not see any of the 3 people that I got (monti) frags from...

I just planned on writing on my lids how long its been since I dumped my montis/last saw a nudi

DBTC: spicy favia is growing well, might not be ready for next swap, Scrambled eggs zoas are doing well, ready, and some burning bush is ready. Frags: possibly clove polyps, was a tiny frag I originally received but they are growing fast! Green nepthea, going to frag up some pandora palys...

I wanted one a long time ago, but my LFS couldnt really tell the difference between, and I wasnt very good at telling the difference between species either, so I ended up with a smaller species. Very cool creature, it carved out a rock and made its own den, always fed it off of a wooden skewer...

I have no idea how they got it that tame lol

Clickbait hahaha!

So my girlfriend and I were walking our dog around a bit, and we stopped by carter’s pet supply. Not a big fan of the saltwater section part of the store, but Its the closest LFS to our house, and I like to show her and teach her stuff. They had a peacock mantis shrimp, and at first was kind of...

Definitely makes sense, sounds about right. Anemone moved and stung them a good bunch today lol. I really like how they look, just gonna keep em isolated and frag occasionally

Sorry to derail the thread! But isnt carbon dosing promoting the DDAM model? Or are the forms of carbon people add different than DOCs?
