Pickling Lime

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.

So, despite much discouragement and loss of life, it appears that my tank is starting to come back from the dead.  I may even stick with this hobby after all.  Mostly I think it was my wife's enthusiasm that kept me from ditching the tank.  It's amazing how much interest a saltwater tank can engender in random visitors to the house, even when there's not much in it!

So now my alkalinity, calcium, and PH are a bit low, despite recent water changes and I thought I'd go back to dripping limewater -- but I can't find a source of this stuff in the area (besides the insanely-priced stuff at the LFS).  Anybody know where I can find pickling lime?

Thanks.

PSA,
   There was a thread on a deal of it a while back.    You may ask fellow members if they have extra Balls Pickeling Lime.    Its good to see you back.   Sometimes people can spare a can of it.     :wink:

Thanks, Ed.  I wouldn't have any problems reimbursing someone either...

This big gathering you're planning sounds pretty exciting.  Now that I've actually got a tank running again I had planned to come to the next meeting and actually meet everyone--is there going to be another meeting before the big todo in August?

I'm also looking for a bit of basic equipment, mostly pc lighting for the refugium and to upgrade my main tank, so if anyone's looking to sell some extra equipment. . .  Oh, and I had another pump go out on me so I guess I'm needing a couple of those too.  Nothing real big since I favor redundant returns over hefty single pumps.  I'm also trying to better seed the 'fuge.

I also still own a house in Port Orchard, so I'm up in that area every couple weeks, if anyone needed something transported either way, but I can't really get over to Spokane, where I see you guys always talking about visiting various suppliers.

I have a can sitting on top of my Freezer.     I live in Kennewick.   Thanks for the positive note on the Large meeting in August.  

yes, there is a Meeting in July scheduled to take place in Kennewick/Finly area.    Les Peterson will be hosting a meeting.  Les has a custom built 175 gallon acrylic tank.  Its a tank you surely do not want to miss.    I believe it is the 24th of July.

Look forward to meeting you,
Ed

PSA,
   I recently had work done on my computer.   I lost your email address.  I am sorry.   If you give it to Matt.   I am pretty sure I will get it.
If you want the stuff I have on top of my Freezer give me a email.
I will try to work with ya.  I think it cost what less than 2 dollars a can.
I have at least a half a can.    I am not worried about it.   I have not used it for a long time.  
talk to you later
