The Big project has begun

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!

Thank goodness, it doesn't leak!!!!!!! :lol:  Had water in it Saturday afternoon till Sunday afternoon.  Ran both  pumps for about six to eight hours with very little problems.  Had a couple of bulkheads that were dripping slightly, but thanks to Rick's Big A-- channellocks I was able sinch them down.  And The drain that I installed into he sump makes for a great way to drain the entire system.  Thanks for all the support and words of encouragement from everyone.  Next step will be to skin out the stand and build the canopy.  I'll keep you all posted.

Well, a Mag 7 has been plumbed in to drive the refugium and the protein skimmer.  All works well, and circulates between the two nicely.  I plumbed in a stub out on the same line for the future installation of a calcium reactor.  The system is pretty much complete at this point, and the savings plan to buy the rock, which is my next step, has begun. Feel free to stop by and take a gander if you are in the area.

May I present the finished tank..........    

[Rico]

Looks pretty nice John.  Great Job.  Now all you need is some rock and frags.  I have frags I can donate and possibly some old dead fiji rock ( I need to look in the storage shed).

Rick

[luvnsalt]

I gotta few dead pieces of rock, too.....

[Rico]

Dashia,

How is your tank doing these days?  Just curious if the reduced feeding helped with the small algae problem that was starting?

Rick

[VickiG]

Wow, that looks great John and Angela!  Very nice.  I can attest that Dashia's nuked rock is working out just fine in my tank.  We have two of her rocks, one that we fondly call "Dashia Cove".    Really coming along nicely - keep us posted with pics!

[tyler5g]

All contributions of rock are greatly appreciated.  Just let me know when you want me to come get it.  

[angelscrx]

Wow that looks awesome great job on that!  Keep us posted on the continued progress.

[Rico]

John,

Rick-
Tank is great. It is very plain though. I lost all my corals, etc... in the big "DO OVER" a few months ago. I don't have any algae...knock on wood. I treated the couple pieces that were starting to have issues with Lye and lost a couple emerald crabs in the process...but the algae is gone. Fish are great. Thanks for asking.
