Oh yeah, forgot. I have dogs and cats so Cristina, take your allergy meds before you come by. Dogs love people and absolutely adore kids. Cats will disappear.

I got my new lights for the frag tank today and my LED strip. So, when you get here, you can see for yourself HQI, LED or PC lights. The experiment begins.

What time will the meeting be going till?

The presentation of the three part, phyto and rotifers will probably be around an hour to an hour and a half. If anybody wants any coral frags or wants to watch me frag and mount some corals may go about 2 hours.

We don't really have a "OK everybody leave now" time.

Good Party till 2am at Jeffs. Other then Steve your neighbors like you right?

great idea Chris, you bring the equip and music....the club will bring the people..LOL...Marco and i will definitely be there. My mom is trying to get off work early that day so she is a maybe.

I thought you were gonna keep that on the down-low, Chris....

Corey from ACROS won't be able to make our meeting. However, he did e-mail me the "recipe" for the 3-part solution. I was planning on buying my own 2-part mix this weekend, so I'll give this portion of the presentation. I've seen it twice. It is pretty simple. If anyone wants to make their own, bring 2, 1 gallon containers (and $5 to cover the product costs).

Brian will still be presenting on phytoplankton and rotifers.

Steve I just meant that you would be shaking your ass with the rest of us so we know you wont be a problem. LOL

you betcha!!!

This event is coming up .... fast!

Jeff has a very nice & mature 310gal tank, with a small scale aqua culture setup in his spare bedroom - thats been converted to the tank's equipment & maintenance room. This is a tank you don't want to miss. !!!

See you soon jeff.

im gunna attempt to make it... once again, it will depend on how the prego wife is feeling. we only have a couple weeks left so it's day by day now.. lol

Who all is coming?????

Marco forgot to mention that I also have 125 gallon FOWLR tank that during the past year has gradually turned into a reef tank. Mostly softies. However, I have recently put in a couple of SPS as an experiment.

OK, OK, I put the two SPS in there to get them out of the way. By this weekend, I will probably have a chalice in there as well!

we're coming, scott said he'd try - he may ride out with us.

U know i will be there. Do we need to bring anything?

If you want some of the two part to take home, you need to bring 2, 1 gallon jugs of distilled water.

My son and I would like to attend, and possibly my wife. We have only been to the open house, and this is the first meeting scheduled on a day where we have not had a prior commitment. Looking forward to it.

Bill,

Will be great having your family as well.

I have received emails questioning non-member attendance.

I would like to clarify this for all - If you are a non-member & would like to come checkout a meeting, you're more than welcome to. We do NOT require you to be a member to attend our monthly home events. Would we encourage you to signup when you feel ready? Yes. The events are partially financed by the club & the member hosting the event.

As far as attending away meetings/trip such as the one next month - Those are for members only.

And as always, we will have membership signup forms at the event, if you feel that you are benefiting from the clubs existence and would like to help keep the club be able to host future events - you are more than welcome to signup in person.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the meeting.

my mom will be there....

Some of you folks may know that I've had alot of equipment and tanks for sale for some time now. I now have alot of miscellaneous supplies (additives, dry flake food, krill, nori, carbon media, phosban, etc. + some neat devices (trap, acrylic holding box and coral shelf) which I no longer need. I am planning to bring this stuff to the meeting so that it does not just go to waste. There are also plumbing stuff (valves, unions, tubing (rigid and flexible) scraps which I will bring as well. I know that these things alway come in handy and my loss can be your gain. I'll try to get there a little early so as not to disrupt the agenda..........see you there

Jeff, does it have to be distilled, or can it be RO/DI?

Actually, tap water will work too. I just want distilled for me because my tap water is terrible.

So, RO/DI should be no problem.

How was the meeting- sorry I missed it.

Fair turnout considering the late announcement. Already have more people signed up for July.

Sorry we had to leave early..Marco and I would have loved to learn how to make 2 part/3 part....but the drive already took us till 2:30am... On a different note...We went to the Georgia Aquarium today....talk about AWESOME!!!! Did the backstage tour and all... I will create a thread when I get home and can post the pics for everyone. Looking forward to July now with the Tampa Aquarium...

Thank You for having the event at your house - was nice seeing everyone again.

Yes, we unfortunately had to bail early as we had a drive ahead of us. We ended up driving straight thru, no stop, and still came in around 2:45am. Was nice, put cruise control on & only had to use the break 2 times on the entire 600 mile trip. Got to love night time drives. Glad to be back home though.
