The hotel is listed from the 22nd to the 5th because even though the conference is only the weekend, those flying in earlier and leaving later can get the room discount for their entire stay.

Thank you very much!

Looking to collect a little data. Did anyone feed their Lionfish/scorp last night? Mind answering a couple of questions? ■ What did you "serve"? ■ When did you buy it? ■ Did you do anything to it besides cut and serve? I appreciate any help.

Look up caprellid amphipod.

A lion will not eat the crabs. You can have anything besides shrimp for a CUC. I don't know anything about eels, so I can't comment on that part.

Look to someone who just had a kid. They give out these little bags that also have breast milk carriers that are pretty good at keeping things frozen... not 2 hours frozen mind you.

Use fans to cool your tank to reduce the amount of time your chiller has to be on. Do regular maintenance on your equipment, it increases their efficiency.

Ya, those are my pics of some of the crew. The tank they are in now has essentially become impossible to get a good pic. The bow is so bad in the middle. Grrrr! Oh well, they won't be there forever. Thanks.

I was doing a tank build thread elsewhere so I'll just post the little tabs if that's okay. They are eventually going into my NPS drop off "Pretty Tank" as I refer to it to my husband (which will be a low light NPS drop off tank full of fish that I consider "pretty"). If anyone knows me from...

Make sure you can ID what is a parasitic copepod and what isn't.

I've had mine for over a year. Most days I just feed once a day. Some days I feed twice. Never more. When I feed I do it slowly over an hour or more and just pour a little in the tank and walk away... repeat. repeat. repeat. I have him in with seahorses and a trio of red saddled anthias.

A volitans, if fed properly, will be too big for a 55. I just had to move mine from a 60g to a 100g at year 3. The lionfish will not be "sad" without tankmates.

The rock is useless for a reef setup. It will leach.

Here's a pic I took of an amphipod in my tank. Might help to have a bigger pic.
