April meeting 4/14 @ 7PM - Grant's house

Laura and Jim will be hosting the May meeting this Saturday the 12th and it will be the usual of food, drinks, raffle and fun.
 
Doors will be open at 6:00 pm for social talk and the meeting will start at 7:00.  Parking gets a little tight and the city says you can't park on 4th but there is a parking lot a block away.   Meeting is usually held in the backyard so feel free to bring your favorite lawn chair, weather permitting of course.

If you need address/directions, contact a club member.

Best if you park at Mini Mall (where the spaghetti establishment use to be)
 
You will get to see his new frag tank set up in the making.
 
Hope to see you there!

Well, last night I got home to the sound of our pump sucking air, which was strange since I'd added water in the morning.  So, I started looking around inside the base cabinet to see if there was evidence of water.  Sure enough...there was a little bit puddled...and worse yet...I started hearing drip....drip....drip.  Not good.

Immediately I pick up the phone and called Rick.  He was immediately on the phone himself and contacted Angel and Les.  Angel and Rick showed up no more than 45 minutes after that to lend a hand, heaters, pumps and even a 29 gallon tank!  All our fish and corals have found home in this 29 gallon tank...a bit cramped, but better than nothing.  

Les called Rick back later after we had most everything under control, and has offered to help me with some acrylic work on the sump of the new 155 (that I've now got a whole new motivation to get up and running!) this weekend.  

Ed managed to run home to meet me so I could get his extractor to pull the water out of the carpet (didn't get too much soaked in, got pretty lucky, it's almost dry to walk on already this morning).

All I can say is  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to all of you guys.  Had this happened a year ago, I'd be so stressed out right now, it's not funny.  With the help and the loan of supplies, I'm really feeling pretty darn good all things concidered!  This club, and its members are AWESOME!

This club is full of generous people willing to give of their time, efforts, and advice.  

Rick, Les, and Ed have all helped me out immensely.  In my times of need and I return the favor by doing what I can for anyone else.  

Nate the pleasure was mine.  Let me know if you need my help Saturday setting up the new tank?  If not I have some rotor swapping that can keep us busy! Cheesy

Angel,  I'll give you a call either way on Saturday.  With any luck we will have the new 75 gallon set up and running tomorrow.  If Les and I can get things finished on the sump, I'm hoping to get the stand in the house and get the plumbing finished up.  But, I can do that on Sunday too, I'm guessing you could still make it over Saturday to do the brakes in the afternoon or evening.
