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 any of you used seachem's purigen?  It is supposedly like carbon, only better.  It removes a whole bunch of stuff from the water and even changes color when its removal capacity is exhausted.  I am thinking of getting some and putting it in a small hang on back filter.  It would evidently remove some of the nasties in my tap water (since I don't have an RO unit).  What do you all think?

Never heard of it so I would definitely do some research.

I've done research as far as what seachem says it does, now I am looking for how it really works (based on actual experience). Funny, those two things SHOULD be one and the same... Smiley

Don't know about all the claims but I had a major silicate problem until I started using this stuff.

You might try placing the purigen in a PhosBan Reactor for "the most efficient use of PhosBan or other chemical filter media"

I was going to get some Purigen or Phosguard or Renew or something for my aquarium. I would put it in a PhosBan reactor. (about $40 for the reactor + $10 for a pump + $4 for the hose + ? for the the media or resin)
