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!

Have you ever tried to remember when you last replaced your bulbs or filters but just couldn't quite exactly remember?  Well you can do what I did and get a dry erase board and use double sided tape to tape it to the inside door of your stand.  Then you can write down important information like bulb install dates and filter change dates.  You can use it track on what days you add certain chemicals or when water changes are due.  The possibilities are endless and all for less than ten bucks at Wal-Mart.

white boards are great, I put one up in my fish room as well.  What I have been doing for my MH bulbs is writing on the ceramic ring at the mogul base the month and year I installed them. I used a sharpie permanent marker.

The outlook thing is great...I'll start taking advantage of that at home when we get the new tank up and running.  I use it all the time at work  We keep a journal of all the things that happen in the tank, anytime something new is added, something dies, water changes, bulb replacements, supplement additions, etc.

That's been a very handy tool.  We will definitely keep doing it, we've been able to look back and see what we did when we had similar problems before...helps solve things quicker the 2nd time around.   :wink:

I am in the final stages of releasing a program for the Palm specific to saltwater aquariums.  Anyone want a beta of it, shoot me an email and I'll send it to you and you can tell me what you think.
