Regarding rule 2-B, what are the questions about the conditions of the system? At the meeting you were discussing rule 3-A. Do we still have to keep it on a plug or can it be removed to be placed on rock work? |

I think tank parameters would be the more common phrase. If you tested we just want to know what your results were. 3a has been changed. If you want to remove it from the plug then you need to take post a picture of the frag on the plug/disk and then another picture that shows the frag in its entirety immediate after it is placed in its new home. ------------- Yes, I'm a Pharmacist.

What should the parameters we need to post be? To me, the more important parameters would be alkalinity, flow, lighting (photoperiod/LED settings or bulb selection), calcium, nitrate and phosphate. |

Yeah we're going to ask for that information as well but not weekly. On the 15th will be a good opportunity for everyone to fill in the blanks that they couldn't answer at the meeting. I will post the information we have before the 15th so we can see what's missing. ------------- Yes, I'm a Pharmacist. No, the blue lights at my house are not growing "pharmaceuticals"... |

| The last Frag Grow Out contest we did, we had very little response. We'd consider starting it back up if we had enough response. Feel free to post here if you'd be interested. If we get enough people, we can discuss at our next Presidency meeting. |

| Ok. I just wasn’t sure if we were going to have duplicate votes. As of right now I think we have at least 15 people in each category (lps, sps, and zoas). I’m sure that number will go up when it’s officially announced. I’ll try this week to make it more formal, lock down each coral, and a price for it all. Then it will be posted on here in a new section. |
