I'll be moving up to the Albany/Saratoga area here in a couple months and I was wondering if there were any reef clubs out that way. And if not if there was anyone interested in getting one started. If anyone knows of any, drop me a line and let me know. I should be in the area around April/May time frame (or whenever the Navy decides to tell me to move) and would really like to get involved now that I'll have much more time at home to devote to my tanks.

2) Wash sand (hope it's enough)
3) Add RO water
4) Start adding salt
5) Check water and wonder why the salinity is sooooo high??? (Did they give me mixed water at the store? -I need to get my RO/DI unit set up.)
6) Water looks better, now we'll see how it does in the morning.
7) 9pm and I'm heading home...

How about this for a Reefer B@ner! I hope it fits in the Sump. May be giving Melev a call...

Research is under way to isolate those agents - peptides - which, he said, could be used safely to treat pain in humans as a less problematic alternative to morphine.
