Bad Things

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.

Well as many of you already know, I had an issue with my chiller Monday night/Tuesday morning where the refrigerant coil broke and dumped the refrigerant and refrigerant oil into my tank. This in turn killed all my big fish. After resolving that problem and making sure of the rest of the tank inhabitants well being, I have discovered another problem.
When I arrived home from work today I noticed one of the halides out. I checked out the ballast and found nothing wrong. I decided to change the bulb and lo an behold what do I find? A broken bulb!!! Thank me lucky stars that the bulb shorted out and hopefully did not kill any corals under it.
They say (who???) that bad things always happen in threes. I am dreading the next few days. I shudder to think what is awaiting me next.

By the way, it appears the bulb shattered due to someone or something splashing water on it. What really sucks is that bulb was only 6 weeks old. Or well, guess its only money anyway.

Wow I really hope nothing else goes wrong.  You can't frag fish so losing all the big ones can be costly to replace.  Lights aren't cheap either so I really hope nothing else goes wrong my friend.

Les,
    I have a extra 400 watt MH SE bulb if you want to use it.    Jeff did it for me once.   Its the least I can do. I would like to do the same for you.   It has less than three weeks use out of it.   Its a Ushio 20k.    I am working on getting you one if not two Extra Large Nasos.    I have been talking to a friend about this.    I had a pair of Nasos with streamers years ago.   I got them both for 85 bucks a pair then.   I am not sure my friend will do that good Of deal.   I am checking though.
Give me a call or just stop by I did not work a 13 tonight.
Your Friend,
Ed

Sorry to hear about the loss Les.  That really sucks.
