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!

I’m looking at buying a system in the next few months. I’m thinking about around 24-50 gpd. I’m going to initially set up a 29 gal tank and in time move on to a 55 gal. I plan on making a sump/refugium that will be sufficient to use with both setup. What do you guys think?

Can you give me ideas on your experience of what I may and may not need?

Thanks
Andy

Andy,

Do a search on Ebay and you will find several units available.  They avg around $100 which is a lot cheaper than from an aquarium/fish store.

Got mine off eBay (5 years ago) and been very happy with it.  With just a three stage + Reverse Osmosis I get TDS down to 2 from my tap water.  I have a DI filter as well, but don't generally use it.  I also have a last stage carbon filter that I use to generate drinking water when I'm not using the system for my tanks.  Smiley

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
