CHEAP COMPACT FLOURESCENT!!

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.

Hope to see you all there!

I stumbled on to these bulbs from a mail order company

they are compact flourescent 20 watts = 50/50 by coralife
50%10k and 50% actinic 03, I put two of them on a 25 gallon tank, along with two 10 watt 6500k similar bulbs i picked up at wal-mart.

the awesome thing about these is they screw right into a standard lamp socket(self ballasted) so those old incandescent light strips anyone might have lying around arent worthless, they can now be used for pc lighting
they probalby arent practical for large tank, but for a nano tank, potential is awesome, two light strips over 10 gallon=80 watts, 8 watts per gallon

for a diy guy or girl, who knows somthing about electricity, the parts would be super cheap too...
