Hey guys we still need a host for the Feb. frag swap, so if anyone is interested in hosting just post here. Due to the lack of attendance from the icy roads, we will be having the charity raffle at this meeting as well. Also if anyone has any pictures of the tanks or the people from the previous frag swaps please let me know, as I am trying to compile them for a website.

Hey Matt I'm definitely still up for the Blacksburg tank tour/BBQ idea you mentioned a couple meetings ago. It would probably be better to wait for warmer weather though :D I'm sure we could get a caravan of Richmond guys there.

I would love to host. I have a 250 sps dominated tank. Would like to do some fragging. Theres over 140 different species.

Everything is automated. I live off river road. Just got done remodeling the sunroom too add a more natural reef.

Let me know if you all want to do this.

I thought you had a 30g cube and a 10g nano and lived on Charity St?

Is this Kris?

Hey Tom , I built a real 2nd stage today out of 4" pvc, and I visited (so-so) Mikes. BTW- I rate him- AWSOME.

I was doing this apparently while RRC was attacked (and many of our members) !!! I do not feel we need to reply to these "people" , they can join our group, and I feel if someboby doesn't like it -- move on! I do not see a need to reply to certain post, and hopfully I will ignore these posts!

As for my meeting, I really want to try for a meeting in the summer, when I have crabs ( in my traps) . I know SOME people do not like BEER and crabs, But I think many of us do!

Tonight, I do not want to make a rash decision on saying I will hold a meeting! ( need to talk to my Wife) But, I want you to know, You guys are allways welcome at my home.

Matt, A meeting up there would be awsome- sometime, I have heard about your chili!--- My daughter (in blacksburg) could put several of us up overnight. And we could meet some of your local reef people!

seriously, wonder if we got enough people if we could rent a charter or something, might be worth looking into. These guys in bburg are members too, and have every right to host as well

I'm for a trip to B-burg as well. I would like to see Matt's tanks.

my tanks are nothing really, i rearrange and bust things up too often to let things grow in. but i'm trying to get better and let things be, i just need to rearrange it *one* more time to take the sandbed out and put the starboard in....;)

what you really want is to see brad's tank. this is an old pic from right after upgrading from a 40 breeder and it's amazing how much things have grown in since. yeah, all that stuff minus alot of the rock (obviously) was in a 40 shortly before this pic.

you could just run heavy-duty extension cords around your apartment like I do......kinda ghetto, but the best I can do.

I am married, that is not an option any more. You remember my old set up was like that. I would be bobbited during the night for sure.:eek2:

I feel you on that man. Thats why all I can put back there is a kalk top off on my 65 gal. No reator.

Alright. I may regret it, but I want to host after all. You guys will have to bear with me on the tiny apartment and lack of fish in my tanks, but I've worked too hard to not show off a little. Thanks to all you guys who've offered to chip in some frags. I feel a little weird accepting anything, as there is so much still alive, its just that not many people had seen how much coral there was before the 'incident'.......

I just need to get a tang or two quick, b/c I'm going to have some problems with algae soon.

I'll have to get serious with making my apartment presentable, and I won't be able to do it all til the end of the month. So, something like the last weekend of the month, tentatively speaking.

Nate

Nate-

March is open as well if you want to hold off and do it then.

AQUAN8TOR

March is sounding good to me. That'll give me some time to make everything sparkle. I feel a little embarrassed, since I'm supposedly included as one of the coral gurus of Richmond along with yourself and others, so I am told. I don't know who got that idea. I just have a wet thumb, that's all. It just happens to get hit with a hammer every now and then....very hard.

For those of you who don't know, I'd just like to say, Hi. I'm Steven's wife and I'm a reefer addict.:rolleyes: I'd love to come to some of the swaps and see all these wonderful sights I've heard so much about. If I can't get a sitter for our 3 month old, does anyone mind if I/we bring him along? I don't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable, and I was thinking, even though he's young, he's already over 2 feet tall, and maybe he could be DD for some of us.:D

I was planing on doing march, but Ill swap with nate for feb if everyones okay with it.

I'm cool with it. At least we now have a place.

mr294
02/01/2005, 09:35 AM
Sorry about that Steven, I forgot you wanted March. If swapping with Nate isn't a problem, that would work great.

SunDragon
02/01/2005, 09:39 AM
Not a problem for me.

nate if so you need to clean up the cords lying around, thats a big hazzard for the drinkin man.

Excellent Steven, I'm looking forward to seeing the tank. Just post another thread with details once you and your wife decide on a date etc.

Hey Lina,

I would be allright with having a little baby at the meets. It's good that you start the addiction off young. Haha. :)

Peace,
