[aberg12012]

Sorry, I didn't mean anything durogitory. :D Was meant only as a quirky comment. (Me, quirky?!?!?!) Never... :lol:

Anyways, I work 4 days on, two days off. So it's pretty much a lottery if my days off will line up with meeting dates.

[daddavis1]

I understand quite a few folks can't make it thats OK though. This place has visiting hours from 8:00 - 8:00. IF you PM me I can be there most evenings with a little forwarning. I am looking for improvements so comments are welcome. I'll be posting some pic's soon.

[BryanJ]

I should be there but with four kids it's tough to say this far in advance. As of right now I will be there.

[Schmev]

Schmev reporting in.

[nellie54914]

Are the tanks just there when you walk in the door, or do you have to go to a different area?

Maybe we'll get some cool Rain...

[rain_06]

I would absolutely love to come, but I believe I have to work that day. It's heartbreaking let me tell ya. Hopefully we'll be able to get some meetings for Sundays also then the cool people that work on Saturdays can come to a few meetings. Talk to you all later, have a great weekend (I'm workin, duh!)

Rain:p

[kass03]

Holy crapoly thats next Saturday already!

[iceman5]

i will not be able to go to this one i have a bachelor party to attend to!! i would love to learn something new on his how to demo! anyone ever think of video taping demos? would this be to hard to do for the people who miss it or for a club archive on demos?? i think this would be a great tool for everyone even for the ones who go and miss something or have ??? once they want to try it. or if someone is very good at taking notes and post it???i guess i am just disappionted about missing this one. i hope everyone has a good time see ya at the next one Andrew

[kass03]

I was wondering if it's ok to bring my 8 year old daughter this time? If not thats ok to.
I thought I saw a post saying kids were welcome this time and she loves places like that lol.
Who knows maybe I can drag my hubby along to.

[mrpink44]

I'll be out of town and unable to attend. I hope you guys & gals have a great meeting.....and hopefully I'll be able to attend in May.

[daddavis1]

Just to clearify things abit. Frag Trading is fine, Kids are fine, there are a couple aeviaries also to check out and of course the residents like visitors to. This meeting is in the assisted living section called Meadow Wood. Access there are two Driveways on the left hand side of the Bronson Road past the Water Tower. and there is on street parking. Folks who want to check this out at another time can do so. Visiting hours are from 8-8. I'm there most evenings.


The Homemade skimmers I do have a hard copy plan for that I will have on hand. These skimmers handle all the outflow from the tanks as well as inputs from becket nozzels.

I maybe will have the Homemade LED setup done by then.
I have all kinds of things I'm looking to try out to achieve gentle random currents, live feeding, auto topoff, and of course moon lighting.

I've recently overcame what I believe was a Dinoflagelets Bloom with common house hold sugar. I would like to increase my feeding rates by say 10 fold and that would require live food production not to be cost prohibitive.

These tanks have been modified considerably to handle the flows I wanted to push through them. See you at the meeting

[kass03]

I also plan on bringing some frags to donate to the tanks.
I think it's great you did that for them Digger.

[Zombies026]

[Calhoun99]

Mt wife and I will be there.

[Calhoun99]

My wife and I will be there.

[Schmev]

I'm sorry, we cannot make it this weekend. I work second shift, and now that the busy season has hit our company again, Saturdays are often going to be mandatory again. I can make most all Sunday meetings, or at least meetings that are started in the mornings on Saturdays.

I really did want to attend this one to learn how to raise my own. Would someone PLEASE take some detailed pics of the live food setups, and pass along some good instructions and advice my way?

Thank you,
Jeremy
