MBI Workshop to Raffle off F1 PNG Lightning Maroon Clownfish Posted: 17 Jun 2014 08:00 AM PDT As the 2014 MBI Workshop draws closer to its July 19th show date, some shockingly awesome news has been revealed regarding the raffle. According to a recent posting on the Marine Breeding Initiative Facebook page, one of the first generation offspring of the world famous Lightning Maroon Clownfish will be going home with one super lucky attendee. But that’s not all, the raffle will also include a F1 PNG Morse Code Maroon Clownfish, which is paired with the lightning clown, and both fish will be shipped to your door. How awesome is that? The F1 lightning maroon clownfish is being donated to the MBI Workshop, now in its fifth year, by Matt Pedersen and Blue Zoo Aquatics, while the F1 More Code clownfish is donated by Sea and Reef Aquaculture. Again, this is an amazing prize offering for the MBI Workshop and will easily boost attendance of an already great show. Raffle tickets are only available at the show and you must be present to win. As for the show itself, it takes place July 19th, 2014 at the Cranbrook Institute of Science in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

Cherry Corals Giving Away MACNA Trip During Summer Spectacular 2.0 Live Sale Posted: 17 Jun 2014 07:00 AM PDT Cherry Corals is kicking off another huge live sale event in a few days, and it will feature more than just the typical offering of discounted corals. Now in its second year, the Cherry Corals Summer Spectacular will run 12 hours long (from 3pm to 3am) on June 21st and it will host hourly $50 give card prizes, a variety of games, a large raffle, and “darn near 1000 WYSIWYG corals”. But that’s not the best part. The cherry on top, so to speak, is the raffle’s grand prize, a paid trip to MACNA 2014 in Denver, Colorado. The prize will include $400 worth of airfare, two nights paid at the hotel, and one full conference pass. All you have to do is pack a bag and show up. To enter the MACNA raffle, all you have to do is make a qualifying purchase during the live sale and “check in” every hour of the 12 hour event. So that means you’ll be staying up late this Saturday evening. In addition to the qualifying purchases getting you a ticket in the drawing, you’ll get an additional ticket for each $100 spent.

Tip of the Day – 6/17/2014 Posted: 17 Jun 2014 06:00 AM PDT If you have any LPS corals, then chances are you have heard about the infamous brown jelly. This dark substance, as its name implies, is a brown gelatinous goo that forms on some corals, eventually causing total death of the colony or frag. While this in itself is disturbing enough, the jelly doesn’t stop at just one victim. Usually any corals downstream of the infected coral will also become jelly infested, causing an intense cycle of death that affect nearly everything in the tank. The only way to solve the brown jelly problem is aggressive fragging and removal of the infected tissue, and totally remind the coral from the system helps too. It’s not an un-winnable battle, but it is certainly a tough one.
