September Meeting

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!

All,
The September meeting of MCSAC will be held on Friday, Sept 8th at 7 PM at Steve and Julia's house. For those who need directions then email me and I will pass them on.

Stace and I and kids will be there.  Stace and Kids will be there on time.  I have OT until 730 but plan on making it.

[nacheetah]

Nacho and I can't make it. He's off on a weekend Goose Hunt and I'm off to see my sons football game.  

Keep us posted on the forum.

[VickiG]

We'll be there too.  Les, please send us directions.  Thanks.

[Zulreef]

We will not make it either but not because of a goose hunt, it is because of a ball game and Koi convention in Seattle. Thanks  

[luvnsalt]

I'll be there!

Here is the link for those that wanted to learn more about the Maxi jet Mod occilating device.

Thanks Steve and Julia for sharing your house,  Your tank looked good.

It was very nice to see people I have not seen in a long time, and new faces.    
Thanks Rick and Les for sharing information about club, Lighting talk,

Oh man that is sweet.  Thanks for sharing Ed.

Oh man that is sweet.  Thanks for sharing Ed.

Thanks Angel,
      That device will probably replace the Sea Swirl in the future.    The maxi jet mod produces around 2000 gph when connected to occilating device, This combination provides a alternating current of 2000 gph.
The Sea Swirls max out around 1100 gph per 1 inch Sea Swirl.
 The maxi jet price is cheap, the mod kit is 20 some dollars per kit.
The occilating device can be built for around 30 some dollars.
Energy efficient, good flow, random current.

[dakota's dad]

thanks for the info ed.


but i see alot of diy but where can you get the kit or is it something you get parts and make it yourself? :?

[angelscrx]

Wow this gets better all the time.  I may be bold enough to build this!  I was thinking of using a small oscillating fan motor set up.  What do you all think?  Would that work too?

[Ed]

Angel,
     I am sure you could do this.   They tell you which parts work for them in the article.    
cheers to  ya!
Ed

[angelscrx]

Yeah it seems easy enough until you get started.  Unlike Les I don't have a shop full of endless tools and years of experience in do it yourself.  

[Jeff]

It was nice to meet everyone at the meeting (some for a second time).  Thanks for steering me in the right direction to this forum.  Hope to see you all again soon!
