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.  

Club members can click here to go to the club member only forum to get directions.

Hope to see you all there!

Algae bloom causes green water. You need to cut down on the amount of food you are feeding the tank. Also, run your skimmer a little wetter then it is now. Adding either filter socks or filter floss will help physically filter it out temporarally.

They add silica to the tank causing diatom outbreaks.

Can putting atank next to a window cause the water to turn green?  I think I read that somewhere.

It could turn the water green, but you have to remember. It will only turn green when there is enough nutrients in the water to do so. No nutrients = no green water.

Our sunlight up here is leans towards the red sprectrum and the light rays are very slanted. This causes an excess in algae growing light.
