January Meeting 1/14/12 @ 6PM! - OFFICER ELECTIONS!

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!

I am from the BB crowd. I don't have any sand in my tank at all.
As far as that goes neither does Ed :?

Live sand is nice, but unneccessay unless you are planing on going DSB. If you are, then plan to buy at least 1lb of live sand for every 5lbs of dead sand.

true to some extent, but the diversity that a DSB requires and the numbers that it requires from the very get go can not be achieved by the livestock from the rocks alone. DSB's in my experience are more of a balancing act that takes time, skill, patience and only lasts on the average of two-four years tops. After that they crash.

If you are really interested, here is some light reading for you :shock:  Cheesy  :shock:
