What night would work best for you to schedule a chat session one night per week on a selected topic?

Here is the chat room link - aim:gochat?roomname=The+FragOutpost+Chatroom&excha nge=4

I guess any night could work for me, but I said Thursday because Survivor is on, which is something the wife and I try to watch that night (we TiVo everything) so I usually have the laptop open while watching the TV.

A chat button has been added to the main site.

I like sunday because its a weekend and plus its a good day for most of us to get water changes and stuff like that done.

Teeka01 · 03-08-2006, 10:14 PM

I vote for chat on Sundays.

FragOutpost · 03-08-2006, 10:14 PM

So that is one vote for Sunday and one vote for Thursday.
So far topics include -

DSB's and the critters that live in them
Reef Lighting
Corals and specialized care

Coral propagation would be a good topic but better explained with photos

LOL especially since my computer is next to the tank.

FragOutpost · 03-08-2006, 10:15 PM

Make that 2 votes for Sunday. Don't forget to vote in the poll Teeka.

Which can be done in the chatroom I believe.

hyperlinking is when you post a picture of something at another location and make reference to it via a click of a button or "link" in short.

something like http://www.fragoutpost.com

Teeka01 · 03-08-2006, 10:32 PM

Okay I just didn't know that was what it was called.Thank You.

FragOutpost · 03-08-2006, 10:35 PM

I guess I could upload all of the photos ahead of time and just link to them. Good idea.

Peterock · 03-08-2006, 11:28 PM

Here is what i did for the weekly chat lines let me know if this is good or if you guys and gals what other stuff.......

FragOutpost · 03-08-2006, 11:39 PM

That is a good list of topics. Do you want to head up a few of the chats?

Teeka01 · 03-09-2006, 06:11 AM

Sounds Good to me too.

Teeka01 · 03-09-2006, 08:19 AM

1) I have another topic that I would like to see. How much and what types of stuff to feed Fish and corals. The best technique to use. I always see people saying that alot of the problems are from over feeding. But I don't know how much, how often and what to offer.
2) What to look for in a healthy coral when you go to purchase it. And Dieases that effect corals. Bad hitchhikers that come in on the different corals to watch for.
3)What each of the cleanup crew does. Including the fish that clean too. The hazards that each bring. Like what is knocking corals down.

Another suggestion is to have the pictures for the chat in a post. Maybe make another section just to put the weekly chat stuff in so we will have something to refer back to. Also so we can get a heads up and come to chat a little more prepare. Oh what a learning experience this is going to be.

FragOutpost · 03-09-2006, 08:54 AM

Excellent suggestions Teeka! Now we have enough chat topics to last for a while!

I'll set up a new forum specifically for the weekly chats and for posting pics and stuff.

FragOutpost · 03-09-2006, 05:52 PM

That is three votes for Sunday. I guess we will start the first topic this Sunday. What did everyone want the first topic to be? Peterock - did you want to head up the first chat topic?
