What would you like to see here?

Hello

Soliciting ideas and feedbacks here. What are the top items you wish to see here on Canreef but are not available or not done quite as good as how you think can be.

It's an open discussion I want to have. As long as it's related to the hobby, not criminal in nature, and can help or enhance your experience or make your time more enjoyable, I'd like to hear it.


Ideas captured and my responses are logged here.

I would like to see more write ups on different types of systems weather Berlin, zeo, prodi. Cryptic.

Canreef is by far my go.to place to get info and would like to.have discussion and info here rather than being redirected to RC R2R OR ZEO forums. I know we are a small community but believe it can grow if information is localized

First, would like to say thank you to you, Titus, for making such a great forum available to us. I have participated (and even mod some) on quite a few forums, incl other hobbies, and have to say, this is one of the best, if not the best, in terms of functionality, great people, and overall value to me as a reef hobbyist. I think a lot of credit has to go to the mods as well, esp Brad, for keeping us all in line. Hope you look after them, too.

Not much more that I could ask for. But a couple things that I might be interested in involve subscriptions. Would be nice to be able to subscribe (and get emails) to a thread without having to first post on it. Also would be nice to be able to subscribe to a member, so I can follow their posts. Of course, it is entirely possible that these capabilities already exist, and I just haven't figured them out yet...

Pretty sure that already exists under Thread Tools.

Yup, it is an option.

Hmmm, and where would I find Thread Tools?

Should be right at the top of the thread, right hand side.

Hello

Okay assume for buy sell classified whatever you call it will be built from the ground up and we aren't working within the confines of the current software.

As for write ups yes I'm looking into having a series of different types of write ups from a panel of SMEs in house on Canreef. So nominate some names of who you wish to see doing the writings, from hardware reviews, chemistry, breeding, blah.

Shall we subsidize a university biology or chemistry or fisheries dept so they can identify ways to better do things like controlling algae or whatever? I don't know but maybe Canreef donate a tank setup and let them do their research on it? How should we set it up? What experiments we should do? Any universities or official bodies will be interested?

And then there will be reference libraries of corals, fishes, algae with pictures and characteristics. Each time someone post an ad it'd contribute photos to build this library?

I don't know what we will end up doing, how exactly yet but I want to invest in Canreef this year with some projects. I need some help here with ideas, or maybe even someone to help with running or writing or contacting universities, labs, whatever.

The more crazy ideas we throw in here the better we can do. Don't let the confines of vBulletin 3 / 4 / 5 limit what we can do.

Canreef member QR codes on a Canreef app so you get discounts from participating sponsors? I don't know. Sponsors broadcasting coupons to first 5 responding members? Put your brain muscles to work. Ideas.

Maybe free sponsorship for some non-profit or public organizations might incent them to participate on Canreef. That would be great.

Also would be nice to get Vancouver Aquarium and Ripley's (in Toronto) to participate. I am sure they have a few little secrets about reef keeping that we would all like to read about.
