House/Rupert:
Straying off of the topic at hand is a quick way to get a bad rating. Rupert- take a look at several of the posts you have made in the past month and I could see how some could get offended or at the least annoyed that you replied to a "serious" topic with some "off colored" humor.
Just a friendly suggestion.
BTW: I strayed off topic because the question was asked. Something that could help improve this board is to add other discussion groups that may or may not have to do with reef keeping but are interesting to locals to the New York/New Jersey area. Hey, if we share reefkeeping as a hobby, chances are we share other interests as well. (In general, people that spend thousands of dollars on a fish tank have a hard time finding people of like mind.)
Perhaps a few more discussion areas dealing with travel, scuba diving, coral/fish diseases, general forsale/trade discussion boards, etc. (Hey, I have some comic books, baseball cards, etc. I would trade for a good Calcium Reactor!- As an example)
Just some stray thoughts...
