Well it looks like we will have quite a crowd for tommorow's meeting....which means we should have a lot of fun.

It terms of parking.....there is a church on the same side of the street as I am on, but on the opposite corner. As long as services are done for the day please feel free to park in their lot.

Please PM me if you still need the address.

See everyone tomorrow!

Hi all!

I have plenty of the following snails available for sale. I can bring them to the meeting tomorrow for anyone interested.

$10.00 dz.

They look like mini conchs-very cool and they breed like crazy!

Let me know!

Rob

The following is from the IPSF website:

12 Strombus Grazers™ (Strombus maculatus)
The marine aquarium industry's hottest new grazer. Reef-safe, highly active, approx. 1/4 inch shell. These are miniature Pacific relatives of the famous Queen Conch known from Caribbean waters. Hawaiian Strombus Grazers stay small and never exceed about 1/2 inch in length. They are the perfect size for reef aquariums! Many customers report that our Strombus Grazers lay eggs on the front glass, giving rise about 2 weeks later to hundreds of baby snails. An army of small algae eaters working day and night to keep your tank free of problem algae! Of course ours are 100% captive-bred. Grow your own! Place right-side up on live rocks after acclimation.

STROMBUS GRAZER DETAILS:
* Species: Strombus maculatus
* Taxonomy: prosobranch gastropod mollusc
* Maximum size: 1/2 inch
* Diet: diatoms, algal films, low turf algae
* Method of production: 100% Captive-Bred at Indo-Pacific Sea Farms
* Benefit to reef tank: algal grazing and egg production*, cyanobacteria control**
* Number of egg capsules produced: 2-4 per spawning event
* Number of eggs per capsule: 4-10
* Time to hatching: 3-4 weeks
* Type of development: benthic, direct (no planktonic phase)

Let's stop there for now. I'll pack those up in the AM and see how many more I can do.

People can still post for some, I just can't say you'll get them for sure.

Rob,

You can put me on the waiting list if you have any more. I'd settle for less than a dozen if you're tapped out...

I think the person that gets the frags or inverts in this case donates $2 to the club. If it is a trade...frag for frag...then both people make the donation...is that right?

I someone wants snails. I've got gobs of Collonista nanina (http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-05/rs/index.php). They multiply like crazy and seem to do a pretty good job. Only downside is like all small snails, they seem to get themselves into bad spots (pumps powerheads...).

Ez, I could really use some if you have enough, don't wipe out your population for me though. I had a good amount at the start of this summer, but I think I lost most of them on my move here. I haven't seen a single one in a long time.

If anyone coming to the meeting has an extra TPP Terrific Tuesday coupon and wouldn't mind giving it up, could you bring it to the meeting?
