Next Meeting

[DgenR8]

I'm sorry guys, I was supposed to post this 3 days ago, I have made short notice even shorter. :(
Because of the holiday tomorrow, our meeting for today had to be reschuled. Our next meeting will be Sunday, April 27 at 2:00PM at Les' studio in Bayshore.
I hope our President, and Founder, Mike (Sci33) will be back by then!

[MIKE NY]

Yipeee.....I couldn't ask for a better present on my birthday!.....man I must be getting old!

[Corpus Callosum]

I'll be back on the 22nd, unfortunately my email list is on my computer at home so I won't be able to email everyone until then.. I hope they see this first.

[Easily Distracted]

Whew! I didn't realize the meeting was originally scheduled for today. I would have missed it. This worked out for the best for me.:rolleyes:

[Evergreen]

is studio adjacent to store? i only know where store is...

[DgenR8]

Studio is directly across Montauk Hwy from the store. You could always stop in the store to ask if you're not sure, Les will be happy to point you to the studio.

[Reefist]

I didn't even know there was a meeting! I never received an email
saying there was one. Good thing I checked !
Tom:confused:

[DgenR8]

Tom,
It was never really cast in stone for yesterday, Les had the room open, but decided that the day before Easter might not go over too well with wives and other asst. family members. So no emails ever went out, add that to the fact that our President, and Founder is frolicking in the sunshine out in Ca. without his email list, so nobody got emailed. I just didn't want you to feel unwanted...... :D

[Corpus Callosum]

everybody will have an email sent out tuesday night when i get back.. sorry was supposed to be back a week ago and like i said im here on business so had to stay a week extra it was important.
:)

[billsreef]

I'll be off in Mystic CT with the family, catch you guys next time :)

Hmmmmm How much you guys wanna bet that "important business" is a tanned hardbody in a thong bikini????

I didn't think Mike was much of a hardbody and I certianly don't want to imagine him in a thong bikini

[taekim78]

can some one give me the address of the meeting place? Thanks

Tae

[ralphie]

I may not be there either guys... I will be away starting tomorrow, on vacation with the wife and kids and may not be back in time.

What is the topic for this meeting?

[Easily Distracted]

Tae,
On the sand trade thread, DgenR8 gave me these instructions to Les'. Apparently, the meeting place is in the studio across the street from the shop.

"Les is on the South East corner of North bound 5th Ave & Main street in Bayshore.
5th Ave splits, and becomes 2 one way streets. So if you're southbound on 5 th Ave from say, SS Pkwy, you will go one block south of Main St., turn left, make the first left again, and Les' store is on the right hand side at the first corner.
Fishy Inc."

I hope this helps. -John

[taekim78]

thanks John

do i need to bring anything to the meeting?

[DgenR8]

I'm sorry TaeKim,
I haven't checked here in a couple days.
The studio, while I don't actually the address is easy to find. If you follow the directions above, to Fishy Inc, which is on the South East corner of Northbound 5th Ave. & Main Street, you're there! The studio is directly across Main Street from the store, it's on the North East corner of Northbound 5th Ave. and Main Street. The entrance is actually on 5th Ave. Arthur Murray school of dance, or something close to that.
I'm looking forward to seeing some new faces!

[pyro383]

Can we get at least 2 guys for the tanks of the month going. One newbie and 1 experienced, as discussed on the other thread.

[Corpus Callosum]

Now is the time to decide on what topics you want to talk about at the meeting, also if anyone would like to present their tank or bring in photos etc, speak up.

- mike

[nairda]

wow im really looking forward to this meeting i missed the last one and this will be my very first meeting. Is there anything that i should bring or need.

[Easily Distracted]

I'm bringing that live sand I was gonna bring a couple of weeks ago. Still haven't made it out to Les'.:p

Also, If anyone has some small, colorful zoo frags they would be willing to sell, I am trying to get my tank jump started. Please let me know.

[montepora]

I most likely will be there, see you all soon.

[ReeferDoc]

Once again I'll be away - catch you guys at the next meeting!!

John

[JB NY]

I'm planning on being there.

Some ideas for topics.

Dealing with algae problems, new tanks to old. What to expect and how to overcome them without using chemicals.

Getting and keeping the right levels of Ca in our tanks.

So you want to keep SPS.

Feeding corals, observations from those who do.

How much current do you really need.

Maybe we could have a person discuss their tank each month. If they are having any problems, group discussing to help them out. If not, the group can learn from what they are doing.

Tank of the club month, newbie (less than one year) and oldie (more than one year).

That's all I can think of right now.

[fishome25]

old and new tank... thats a good idea. I'd love to do my tank, but not this meeting. first i gotta figure out how to work powerpoint.

I'm curious about feeding coral. My tank is skimmerless, should I still feed?

[myerst2]

I'd like to discuss feeding corals. I think it is important and sometimes overlooked by some reefers, myself included. Tim

[pyro383]

Easily Distracted, I should have a few zoo's for you, purple, brown, yellow and orange.

Fishome, any more blues, mine just let go and disappeared, need 3-4 polyps. Also, I can photo shoot your tank and do the powerpoint or help you along in anyway.

I can bring the screen as long as someone brings the laptop and projector. If I must, I can do a tank of the month 11.5 months old, but would be missing a major development in the next month (sump and squid)

[Easily Distracted]

pyro383,
EXCELLENT. Just nothing too big. I don't have a lot of $ right now. I have some of Fishome25's blue zoos. If he is not going to have any new ones for a while, I might have some soon. I recently set up Halides and things are looking promising.

My vote is for fishome25.

[pyro383]

I will get you 3-5 polyps each, loose. The mh will allow these to take off. I am experiencing 2-3 new polyps every week on each colony.

[pyro383]

I need some pods, those curly ones that kinda roll (can't think of the name right now). Only looking for a few since they multiply like crazy. My 6 line wrasse ate mine before i could build a rock pile to habour them. Thanks

[Easily Distracted]

I can do that. I've got good fuge critters.

[Reefist]

I would like to share my tank in the future but if we were to do a Powerpoint presentation how would we do that?I do have Powerpoint but I don't know how to use it yet and I only have a desktop not a laptop. I always have problems with my tank and I
been doing this for 7 years ;)

[Easily Distracted]

Reefist,
You live close to me. I can take some pics of your tank if you need. I haven't used power point though.

[myerst2]

I would love some zoo frags. Anyone who has them let me know. I really appreciate it. Thanks a bunch. Tim

[Reefist]

Reefist,
You live close to me. I can take some pics of your tank if you need. I haven't used power point though.

Thanks but I have a digital camera. I was wondering if I was to make a powerpoint presentation how would I show it since I only own a desktop.
Thanks
Tom

[fishome25]

I could bring my laptop but someone should bring a backup b/c i will forget :rolleyes: . pyro i can bring some zoos. and some more for you 2 John. unless you have enough now?

[pyro383]

Power point is a walk in the park. You could just use the wizard which takes you step by step. You can save the file to a disk or burn it onto a cd/dvd. If needed we can do a quick tutorial at the meeting.

All we need now is a projector.

[Easily Distracted]

Is there such a thing? :D

Fishome25,
Actually, money is my biggest concern right now. I don't get paid until after the meeting and Uncle Sam made sure I wasn't weighed down with extra cash from my last check. I would like to connect with you later in the week though, when I am better prepared. I appreciate everything.

Also, if anyone needs a backup hood fan, I have a few computer type fans that you are welcome to. They won't be the quietest, but would be good as a sub while yours gets fixed or something. Let me know. -John

[manny110]

I should be able to make the meeting. I have a laptop but dont have power point. I would be willing to bring it to use if we need it. Also is anyone does not have a cd burner but has digital pics E-mail them to me and I will burn them for you. If anyone has any zoo frags for sale I would be interested as well. I would be interested in just about any frags because i'm lookin to jump start my tank as well.



Manny

[JB NY]

So do we want to do a topic? Feeding corals? or do we have some definites on slide shows about their tanks? Or do we want to try to do both?

[Corpus Callosum]

having a topic would be nice incase we run out of things to talk about

[Easily Distracted]

My vote is for:

Getting and keeping the right levels of Ca in our tanks.
or
Feeding corals, observations from those who do.

[pyro383]

I have office xp with powerpoint, so I can load it onto the laptop.

[SWW1268]

I have the following for trade:

yellow polyps
purple blade gorg
xenia
leather
capenella

They're all small pieces. Let me know if you're interested.

I also have a little bit of various colored zoos, but I've never frag them before. Can I just cut them from the rock and put them in a bag?

[taekim78]

hey I have some green center glove ployp with orange tips and also anacropora to trade any one interested? hey fishme, if i can get you some orage center zoos would trade some of your blue zoos?

[nairda]

I dont have anything to trade but i might be interested in buying a couple of things. Are any of these up for sale or do you need something to trade with

[pyro383]

Im interested in the yellow polyps,

I will bring a bunch of zoo's for sale/trade, however since there is such a demand I can supply 3-4 polyps of each, loose of course.

zoo's

brown/gold
purple/violet
orange/yellow
yellow/orange

if I don't have enough, I will for the next mtg as these are growing at a rate of 2-3 polyps a week.

I am looking for blues.

Also don't forget the sand trade.

[Easily Distracted]

Is Les' open on Sunday so we can drop the sand off before the meeting?
Also, does it look like the filters will be there with maybe a tutorial at the meeting?
I think I created a monster with the zoo thing.:rolleyes:

[DgenR8]

Yep, Fishy is open every day except Monday. Even Monday is not impossible, as he's often in the store, and if you call ahead, he might let you in. ;)

[pyro383]

I just grabbed some name tags (labels) for use on sunday and it semms there will some new faces :confused: and a good bit of trading going on. (Actually, I just suck at remembering names, thats why mine is stiched on the jacket):lol: :confused:

[Easily Distracted]

Oh, no....nametags....
My girlfriend was already making fun of me when I told her I was going to trade sand on Sunday with a bunch of other guys.:(

[SWW1268]

I have room for one more if you're interested in carpooling to the meeting. Please PM or email me. We're meeting at my house at around 12:30. I'm in Woodside, 11377.

[Easily Distracted]

I'm in Huntington. If any Bayville, O.B. or other nearby people want to carpool, let me know.

[SWW1268]

Does anyone have a frag of a green monti cap with purple rim? I'd trade or buy.

Thanks

[JB NY]

SWW1268, I 've got one, look on my website under corals/montipora it's the one listed as montipora delicatula. If you want, let me know.

[Reefist]

I'm in Huntington. If any Bayville, O.B. or other nearby people want to carpool, let me know.

I don't think I'm going to be able to make it but I'll take you upon next time since I'm in Bayville.
Tom

[SWW1268]

[Easily Distracted]

Thanks sww 1268. As you probably already realized, I got them in time. I have to say, if I had to guess who everyone was by there screen name, I would never have gotten them correct. It was nice seeing some actual faces at the meeting. ;)
