What does it mean to be placed on a moderator queue and what is the reason for it?

Didn't this club do very well when it was on Reef2Reef( I think that was where it was) instead of having the overhead and maintenance of its own board. Maybe we should go back to that so we could concentrate on membership instead of tech problems?

Have all of the board members paid? Not all are showing banners.

I have two reasons: 1. The dramatic reduction in paid membership illustrates the poor organizational skill of the current Leadership. When I joined in 2013 I asked what the membership perks were? I was told that there was not really any, but why be a cheap sob? If you can't afford $24 a year you should not be in this hobby. 2. I have always felt this is wrong. I get to pay $24 to listen to somebody who doesn't care enough to help out. This membership issue is really about money. Advertisers and Sponsors don't want their message held to only the 25 members who have paid. So its given away. Why should anybody pay dues?

Are all of the members who have paid for membership showing banners? I see a lot of posters who have not paid and even some board members. With only 25 paid members this year, I am interested in who is and isn't a paying member.

I don't mind.

You are the one who made it personal. Ignorant is a very friendly word. Do you really believe at 35 years of age you could beat up a 68 year old man with heart trouble. You must be a hell of a tough person.

I hope I can make it, but my health isn't good right now. Where do you park? I have never gone to Cuttlefish and Corals and been able to find parking. I too just started a nano culture and will be starting rotifers next week.

Are you threatening me? If I come to the next meeting are you going to beat me up? It would be nice if you paid dues if you have so much to say.

Hi Doug, I have ordered many times online and this problem is worse in the Winter. I have had one late shipment and it was due to UPS and not weather.

Oh! I forgot, you should read " The Complete Illustrated Breeder's guide to Marine Aquarium Fishes" by Matthew L. Wittenrich. He is really ignorant.

You are one smooth talking devil. And very ignorant! First I am setting up a breeding facility and tank raised fish are easier to deal with. As to their health, I have listed four articles that will explain the reduced exposure to disease and parasites. If this doesn't cure the ignorance, let me know and I will post another 10 or 20 articles to help finish your education.

If your tank is a display tank in your front room, then you may want an electrical ATO. I have a fishroom and use float valves and have not had a problem in 20 years. Don't use a float valve and try to add anything with the water or it may leak. As for a controller, it depends on what you want. I have some small temperature controllers for a single tank that cost about $100. I also have an APEX system that controls my brood stock system with two 300 watt heaters in the sump.

I will buy only tank raised fish to avoid disease and parasites. Also it is 86 miles one-way to the nearest fish store, and online is cheaper?

I heat my car, my house and my tanks.
