Welcome to the Lounge - house rules

This is the off-topic corner of West Coast Reef Club. No tank parameters required. Talk about whatever is on your mind - other hobbies, pets, food, music, the weekend, a good win or a rough day. If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it fits here. WHAT BELONGS HERE - Non-reef chatter: hobbies, pets, food, music, general life - Hobby humor and "look what I found" randomness - Casual conversation and getting to know other members WHAT GOES ELSEWHERE (so people can find it later) - Reef help, ID requests, parameter questions → the topic forums - Buying, selling, or trading → Marketplace - Meetups, frag swaps, store events → Events - Contest talk → the contest threads GROUND RULES 1. Be respectful. Disagree all you want, but go after the idea, not the person. No name-calling or pile-ons. 2. Skip the flamebait. Politics and religion tend to blow up threads fast. Keep it civil or take it to DMs. 3. Keep it SFW and legal. Anyone can read this. No NSFW, illegal content, or harassment. 4. No spam or constant self-promo. Sharing your channel or project once in the right context is fine; blasting links is not. Ask a mod if you're unsure. 5. Respect privacy. Don't post anyone's personal info, private messages, or drama from other groups. 6. Report, don't retaliate. If something crosses the line, use the report button and let the mods handle it. Keep it friendly and have fun.
