Hi reefuge folk
Very cool guys, a competitor to the (forum of opinions and disorders) you know the one!
It’s bit sad about that site, well sought of, it got on the net in a way early and grabbed some coverage and power, and as anyone knows, power corrupts and forces out common sense, oh well, it’s more or less run by shops anyway.
They tried to get the A & T into the set up they were building in the late 90s and we said, yeah sure, can we put our club on your net site as a part of the over all clubs thing they were building, the answer was, their way or nothing!
No one in the club back than, that would do any club work, had any idea of the internet, so the club went on it’s way and the net passed it by, so with some club infighting, it took on the net, not that long ago either, in the cheapest way of course,lol.
Our club forum is mainly to promote the aandtsociety, that’s part of our domain name, its really (The Aquarium and Terrarium Society of Queensland) as are the portions of the clubs collecting trips spread around, to promote the club.
It’s a shame there are no pics from back when the club had first formed, the club has been doing fresh and salt water collecting trips since the 1920s,formed in 26 or 27,I forget.
There are no other clubs we have found on the net and we have looked very closely, that carry out affective collecting trips, except one in the states we text to that carry out collecting trips in the Caribbean, they are just a small group of people though.
The (forum of opinions and disorders) has tried, mainly in the Q branch, but the types with in the over all group appear to cancel out any reasonable success at that type of thing anyway.
I used to text to the pres of the Q branch a ways back before the disorders on that site became overly apparent, before stripeses dad took over from him.
Anyhow, if it does not go against what your forum represents, we will put on here a bit on our trips to promote the club from time to time.
It’s up to you.
Personally I have been keeping and collecting marines since I got my first tank at xmas 1980 and started collecting for my brothers marine tank in 79.
He did his dive course a year before me in 69 and got me into marines watching his tank, as big brothers have their younger brothers follow them normally.
The members with in the aandtsociety are a mish mash of old school and the current boutique style aquariums, one of our members is so into his it has cost over forty thousand in the first year to set up, he can claim his on tax.
Personally I like to update with current lighting and electrical gear, but I use a natural system and always make my own stuff, tanks, scrubbers, reactors, bio filters,skimmers as such and not just because I am cheap,lol.
I went away from skimmers a long time ago when the mucking around on designing of my scrubber improved to cancel them out for my needs.
We got a shipment of cree 3watt LED fittings for our members, high output LED bulbs to replace metal haloids and T8 sized LED tubes last week, that will kick my scrubber up a gear, now that’s brilliant simplistic tech,that’s my style for sure, love the LEDs!
That’s all from me guys, sorry I rave on a bit.
