This seems incredibly unfair. The BOD is a volunteer group that spends significant time and resources orgnizing the club and related events for a hobby group. Anyone can run to be on the BOD, but few do. The people on the BOD work their butts off, and really don't deserve this kind of stuff...

I submit that that is ethics. We used to have sketchy people/stores do bag lot sales out of their garage to try to make some extra money regardless of the status of the animals (I am making no comment on the status of the animals in this thread). Group buys should be for the benefit of the...

Facebook market place is open to anyone. The buy sell forum on this site is for members, and has rules and guidelines to help support the clubs mission, reduce scams, support each other, support stores that are not flash in the pan and are being ethical, weed out jerks, and try to stop people...

Thanks! The club is not supposed to be like facebook market place!

The club has always picked and choosed which store/sellers to support in order to support the mission - "The purpose of the organization is to promote, foster, and encourage education and appreciation for the ethical husbandry and propagation of marine life; and to acquire and own such property...

Sweet! I can come almost any day next week and pick it up. Will DM you! Thanks!

We have no idea what happens to most of the imported animals at the source, and there are often long transit times, and long times in bags, being moved from holding system to holding system. The ethics comes into play in trying to give the animals the best chance at survival - 1) after import...

Still available? I have a use for it!

That seems a terrible way to not start drama. No, saying bag lot sales are not ethical, a la 6th avenue - and that there is a lot of death in the hobby in the coc which is part of went into the by laws of the club. Bouncing animals from ocean to tank to shipping to tank to shipping to tank to...

Yep! This is the one I am using...

There are some really nice exhaust fans that have dynamic power, faster when hotter kinds of things. Also, you ok with venting that heat into the room?

There is only anecdote that the cc clogs up their digestive track. Bumbleebees are hit and miss, and they will go after your other snails - I do not use them.

Yeah, but it is hard to tell the reality of that report

Also, I did the CC route for several weeks and saw no lessening of pests. I break them in various ways and hit them with the laser if I cannot break them.

We do not have evidence that this is actually what is happening, nor its efficacy. Given that we have about the same numbers of reports of it working and of it not working, I squint.

I missed this. The urchin I was talking about is from the east coast, I am not sure of the name. Bug me in a week if I forget to post. It is a more agressive urching, but doesn't seem to be eating coral.

Ooooo

Super fun to hang with y'all!
