Feb Meeting

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!

Can I pull a John Kerry and vote both ways then deny I voted at all?  

[VickiG]

Saturday works best for us too.

Vicki,

Just so we don't have to read through all the messages later, would you please use the voting buttons at the top of the page?   Wouldn't want Rico to have to take his shoes off if more than ten people responded.

Thanks!

(he's reading over my shoulder and he didn't seem to like my post.  LOL)

[VickiG]

Well, dag nab it (who says that?) when I first read the post, I was looking for voting buttons and didn't see any!  But when I read your post, Lucy, there they were!   Then after I did use the voting button (I am very obedient, see?) and went back...again, the buttons were gone.  Am I losing it??? :? (the anwer is probably yes in any case). :oops:

[luvnsalt]

I thought the idea of sharing what books we have found helpful might be a good one (I think Jeff, that was your idea?) but since we are planning our new (first) reef tank, I'd sure like to hear "lessons learned" from experience - i.e., what equipment/husbandry/fish/corals etc have/have not worked for you....the old saying, "if I knew now what I knew then, I'd..."  fill-in-the-blank.   But this might not be as useful to experienced hobbyists as it is to newbies like us...just tossing out an idea to help get the creative juices flowing!

Some of your ideas Jeff would be good threads for future reference!  Like what everyone has that they hope to frag someday and common list of what every one is currently keeping in their tanks?

Somethings we need to be honest and ask for a selling price because getting corals that no one has and having to pay for them can get expensive (ex: $50-100 for a 1" frag). For example the tort corals or some rare expensive stuff or even some hard to find zoos (some zoos run for $75.00 and you may get 15 polyps on a 2" rock)!  I know a lot of folks don't mind fragging their fast growing corals but I'm just talking about the more valuable stuff.  NOw by no means do I mean charge what I have listed just a reasonable contribution to add to our reef addiction would be nice.

You see on our member list and by our signatures on what some of the the typs of corals ,fish, and other Inverts we all Keep. One of my Task is I am trying to compile a list of all My Corals and Other Inverts that i have to share during meeting and when some one ask do you have this??? and how has it done in your tank I still have so much more to learn and Understand about this ever changing hobbie

I thought I would do a live demo of current in my new tank. And maybe show some options on supporting a large tank in your house.
