Re: Lots of new members joining the forums...

Beau is hosting the January Meeting this coming Saturday the 14th at 6PM.  It will be BYOB as well as a snack to share and raffle items are always welcome.  It has been requested that there be “NO SHOES” on the carpet due to it being a whitish color.

He doesn’t have a tank to view but we will have plenty to discuss in hopes that it will get the NEW YEAR off to a good start.  The annual membership fees are due, so now would be a good time to get them in to our Treasurer Stacey Hahn.   Fees are $20 per individual or $25 per family

Attendance was low at the election meeting in November and no votes were taken at December’s meeting so we have decided to take votes for anyone that didn’t get the opportunity in November and will be attending this meeting.  
We will add the votes to November’s ballots and the announcement will be made during the meeting so we can go forward.
NOMINATIONS:
President:  Jim & Nacho
V. President: Ed, Bo & Daniel Leigey
Treasurer: Stacey
Secretary: Carmen & Angie

Let’s hope the New Year brings new members, returning members and new ideas.  The club is always willing to take suggestions to get the most out of the hobby we all enjoy.

Please PM Nate C. by clicking here for directions if you are not a club member.

Hope to see you all there!

My name is Shonelle, and my husband and I have recently moved from Ellensburg because of his job.  We don't really know anyone here though, so I needed help finding out how to submit an "official membership form".  If this is a bad idea, someone please throw themselves in front of me screaming "don't do it"!!! LOL. 

On a more serious note, we're starting our second saltwater tank, as we had to leave our first behind.  Our "new" tank is a 55 gal. on a black stand, with two boring 15" lights, two on the back filters, 4" of sand, and 53ish gallons of saltwater.  We don't have any rock or fish yet, although we hope to begin to remedy that within the next few days.

Our ultimate goal for this tank is to allow me to raise seahorses, and potentially a few smaller fish.  My husband and I are also looking to start a second tank that would likely be a coral reef tank, potentially with some fish.

I have been keeping fish since I was very young, however, I've only been involved in salt for the last two years.

Welcome!  We're a good group.  Come to the next meeting and you'll be able to sign up to be a club member then. 

There are several members here that have done seahorse tanks in the club.  Not sure how many have them right now though - require a LOT of work.  We won't be at the next meeting, but look forward to meeting you at a meeting in the near future.

I have gone to a Seahorse presention in Seattle.   I am no expert but I am willing to share what I learned about each seahorse.   I have a seahorse tank waiting to be set up. 

Here are things I learned in brief.
Seahorses need things to cling on to to feed, corals like SPS sting seahorses, when a seahorse is stung they cling like we do with electricity. So you want to cover your heater with a sleeve.  Very few fish are compatible with seahorses. They need to be fed daily, etc. 

Nice to see you
