Welcome to R2R and the "North Alabama gang". I enjoyed your video. Nice job in rendering an interesting video. I too like the Chromis and the Scopas Tang is one of my favorite fish. Cube tanks are becoming more and more popular and from looking at yours it is easy to see why. Good job. Your substrate looks pretty course, hope you don't have problems with detritus getting trapped in it.
As far as NARC goes, we are a virtual club. When you say "virtual" then the next word you say is untrue. Several of us (let me see if I can remember who) Mariner, Tomoko, Yoda, Kyle, Brownisbetter, and one or two more got togather one afternoon at John Newby's old shop to meet each other and talk reefs. I think that was in '02 or '03. For a long time we met monthly at someone's home, an LFS, or went to regional frag swaps. We never had an organized club; no officers, no bylaws, no dues, just a small group of Reef Freaks who liked to get togather. One of the biggest things we ever did at a meeting is EAT. Some of us have no idea how to maintain a reef tank but we can certainly hold our own when it comes to eating. We've seen several people come and go over the years. From what I've heard the average person stays in the hobby about a year. From what I've seen I'd say it was more like 9 months. Without exception, (from my observation) the common denominators for the failures are getting in over your head as far as number of tanks or size and trying all the new gadgets, whims, and techniques. My philosophy is KISS. The catalyst that holds our group together is Tomoko. She always seems to manage to get the ball rolling when we get stagnant.
Stay tuned for further updates and keep the tank looking as good as it does in your video! :haha:
