SPS Group Buy from Shark Reef

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.

Hope to see you all there!

John talked at the meeting last night about placing a group order from Shark Reef to give us a chance to evaluate quality and ordering process before placing an order for the Conference.

We'd like to put together a group buy for SPS coral colonies at a price of $35 per colony (Hey John - will shipping costs be added to this price ??)

The $35 price is based or ordering a box of 12 coral colonies, or we call fill out the order with fish, clams, or other livestock that Shark Reef currently has in stock.  Last time we were in, Shark Reef had some nice blue approx. 3- to 4-inch clams for $35 a piece, think they were crocea.  (John, can you ask Eric what kind he has when you talk to him the 18th?)  The clams had nice color and looked healthy, with no algae on the shells. 

John will be in contact with Eric at Shark Reef this coming Tuesday and we will know at that time what specific species/colors are available to choose from.

Representative pictures of the coral colonies are attached below.

The sensible, thrifty side of me says that I don't even know what I'd be getting and how can I throw $35 (plus shipping?) at this sight unseen.  The rest of me says Oh boy, a surprise!  And such nice looking colonies in these pictures...

I'm in.

Ain't is grand when your sensible side takes over?

They really do look nice.  I'd be in for one of the blue clams if it was needed to fill out the order.  Otherwise, I think I'll just sit tight with what I have and watch everything carefully.

Bad news on the SPS front from Sharkreef.  H is still waiting on the permit and now it looks like may before he can get any. He is going to email me as soon as he gets the permit, and with that , the catalog of what he can order.  So this one is on hold, but we can still put together a Reeftopia order if there is interest.  Let ne know.
