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 hope these pics come through!  I have these strange things on my overflow!  At first I thought it was a mushroom so I tried to get it off but they are soft and squishy like a zoa but they dont open like a zoa and I don't know how a zoa would have gotten to the overflow.  If you can see these well let me know.  They kinda pop like a zoa does and not like green algea but they have bubbles kinda like green algea except in clusters.  They are a reddish pinkish color.  These are the best pics I could get but I took one off and put it in the sump on top of my cheato to see if I could get a better pic so that is what the one is of.  Anyone have any ideas?  They are no where else in my tank!!  Should I worry about them and if yes how do I get them off without popping or going into my overflow?

Don't think it is bubble algae, but not sure what it is.  Manual removal - trying not to break cells is probalby best option.

Try to scrape under them and scoop them into something as best you can.  You could stop flow and do the harvesting and then wipe up around them with paper towels before turning pumps back on or something to minimize the amount of material getting into the system from inside them.
