I’m sorry I’m going to miss this but I can’t say enough about the research Eli does and the quality of his products. I’m in the medical field so I am well aware of the importance of beneficial bacteria and having an abundance of them is the key to mental and physical health. It is also the key to a healthy tank. I highly recommend his reef rubble and sand to seed a new tank. Sure you could get sand and live rock from a friend but then you risk introducing harmful pests. Eli screens his products so they are pest free. I used to use Dr. Tim’s but it did have the same effect of building up the good bacteria. Cyano , dinoflagellates and pest algae’s are often a sign that you do not have enough good healthy bacteria in your system. Using Chemi clean is like using an antibiotic . Sure you will kill off the harmful bacteria but you also kill off the good bacteria. I had an issue with cyano with my new tank and added the rock rubble and within a week the problem was gone. Eli is a humble guy with a big brain. His talk is excellent and highly informative. My only complaint is that Rock Rubble sells out quickly . It’s actually out of stock now.

@SuncrestReef @TheClark @Chief is there to block new members from sending a DM until they get to a certain post count ? I looked and they are already flagged as a spammer.

Can you tell me who the member is so I can block them

That was a lot of fun !! Nice to see old friends as well as a lot of new faces as well.

A supporting member!! @Nancymacc The 30 tickets for 100 dollars is the way to go !! Better odds !

You are correct it doesn’t say tickets are ten dollars at the door on the site and it should. I don’t know why it does . My guess is just an oversight as they do so many of these. I didn’t realize tickets were double the day of the show either which is why I made this post. Steve Tyree runs the Coral Farmers Market and he just posted on Facebook that they were ten dollars at the door a few days ago. As far as tickets they keep a list at the entrance and you just say your name.

I know I wasn’t going to buy anything last year because my little Nuvo 20 was full and ended up spending like 400 dollars because there were things there that I had not seen for a long time! 😂
