I've been tossing around the option of opening something up locally and this is a major fear of mine... k3v

Can I work from home? :wink: Aloha Sent from my Droid.

CA got it a little worse off then Hawaii, but we registered 29 Earthquakes in Hawaii in the last 24 hours. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Maps/special/Hawaii_eqs.php

Checking in. Sirens are going off. Pretty creepy. My wife and daughter are in the east coast of Canada right now, so family is safe. Cold, but safe. lol I got my dive flippers ready! Kevin

I'm sorry, i just re-read my post and i sounded like a smart-A#@. I didn't mean it to come off like that. That 5th frag was a free-b. aloha!

PE polyps are called Zoanthus gigantus for a reason. These are just regular Zoanthus sp. - you're average size zoanthid. When ever you are buying online, keep an eye out for the frag rack squares. You average frag rack square is 5/8" - 3/4" square. Good way to reference size. Aloha! Kevin

Here are a couple things to look into: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=237025 http://articles.digitalpoint.com/content.php?r=7-Optimize-vBulletin-4 Edit: forums are running fast for me right now.

Has anybody sent this info to the hosting company? How many modifications have been made to the vBulletin? What version of MySQL is being used? I have issues here from time to time. Mostly slow response. I just chalked it off as a hosting issue. edit: it took about 15 seconds for me to post the above after hitting submit post.

can you do that to one of my sites? www.fycracing.com www.reefhawaii.com Both are forums. I also have 3 web stores on that server.

That's when people settle down at work... then check the site.

Also, for the record... R2R has a minimum of $10,500.00 coming in each month. That's over $126,000 per year in just sponsorship income. It's actually more, i just didn't count the manufacturer sponsorships. I'm sure the owners of PNWMAS will take some donation to help fix the problem. Kevin

To who ever is the tech guy. I switched over to Dreamhost about 6 years ago for all my sites. Best thing I could have ever done! I've probably been down a total of 6 hours in 6 years. Kevin

Thanks guys

I made it unavailable on my site so nobody buys it on you all. Kevin

After my video finishes, there are some related videos of yellows in the wild. They are almost always found in schools. It is very rare to see one yellow tang by itself in the ocean. I never have snorkeling in these waters for the last 20 years. (i used to vacation here every year before moving) k3v

Got a little more than a trio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnk5Rf98guI

Will do. Here are the ones we will be fighting this year. SB151: http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2011/lists/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=SB&billnumber=151 - This one is a complete ban on aquarium fish, but it takes effect in 5 years with a scientific committee being formed in the interim. SB1098: http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2011/lists/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=SB&billnumber=1098 - This is the same bill we opposed at the City Council a couple months back. However, Maui county introduced it on their own. This one is made to look reasonable, but really it's a total ban on all fish. This one is probably the one we have to worry about the least. House: HB459: http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2011/lists/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=HB&billnumber=459 HB590: http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2011/lists/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=HB&billnumber=590 - Both of these are copies of the Maui County bill from the city council. These are the least likely bills to get heard, but we still need to oppose them strongly. HB635: http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2011/lists/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=HB&billnumber=635 - This one is not actually a ban, but it calls for steep fines if people are caught catching aquarium fish without a permit. The catch is, the fines are extremely high ($500-$200 per fish) and most offenders would be innocent kids, so we obviously can't let it pass as-is. It's also dangerous because if it crosses to the Senate, they could change it something much worse such as a total ban. Kevin

update... (too short)

I just caught this thread through your sig. lol It made me laugh. good stuff! Aloha! Kevin

I downloaded forum runner and used it for about 3 days. All my forums use tapatalk, easier just to use that one for me. Nothing about forum runner grabbed me enough to continue to use it. Kevin

Just a quick update... First for Gill. A representative from DLNR was there on our side to oppose the ban. He used the article you posted by Walsh to help us prove the industry is sustainable. I thought that was funny. Second... We had a good turn out by the industry. A lot of the big players from Big Island and Maui showed up to help oppose this bill. Snorkel Bob and his entourage were there, including a marine biologist from Chaminade University. There were children brought to testify for the Ban. (Cheap move in my eyes) There was also the save the whales people there that banished the Supper Ferry from Hawaii, though they got embarrassed by the senate people. We had the industry, the Department of Land and Natural Resources, University of Hawaii, and Waikiki Aquarium there to help us out. I was told that almost 100% of these bills get passed through the senate. After all said and done a decision was not made. We will hear the decision next Thursday. If the bill passes our next job will be to oppose the bill at the House meeting. Kevin
