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!

Help......We live in a rental and pulling up carpet from a 120 gal tank doesn't sound like fun or easy!!  My husband left the RO water on for 22 hours....dropping my salinity to 1.010 but we won't talk about that. He didn't let me know he was turning it on and so I wasn't watching it.  Despite all my now dead coral......*we won't talk about that*......I now have an awful mildew smell in my house!  Anyone have any ideas how to get the smell out?Huh?  I'm so frustrated!!! 
Thanks, Christy

Let me start by offering my condolences.  I'm extremely sorry for your losses.


On to the scent:
I'm assuming that the mildewy smell is coming from the carpet.  Your best bet is to use an extractor to extract as much water as you can from the carpet, and then leave fans running to help dry the carpet.  If possible, you may want to remove the carpet from the tack strip so you can dry what is beneath it, and many people replace the wet pad, as carpet pad is near impossible to clean if it lacks a moisture barrier.

Christy slowly bring your salinity back up if you can.

The house-   I have a huge industrial fan you can borrow.   I definitely want it back asap when done.    Get the air moving as soon as possible to dry things out.
