PM for address

Topics for the meeting will be posted shortly.

Hopefully by than I will have my sump room all finished, and could add that to the topic :D

Please R.S.V.P by the end of this month for a head count. Thanks

[Steven M]

I'll be there, should have frags by then.

[reefrubble]

I should be able to make the meeting. I don't think I'll have any frags this time . I want to give things a rest from fragging. Ted

[pmike25]

No problem at all Ted, I hope you can make it!! I might have a thing or two to share (frag wise).....

[BankerJohn]

As of this point, I have nothing else on my calendar... but I haven't cleared it with Mindy either, LOL.

Ted, I can swing by and pick you up and you ride with me. - Banker John

[bklinefelter]

I will not be able to make the meeting. I will be in CT for my dad's retirement party. Hopefully I will be able to make it to the Oct. meeting.

[ladyfsu]

I should be there and I already know where you live :)

[Reefer421]

We should be there. I should also have a few frag pieces.

Is there anything I can bring Mike? Food...Drinks?

[pmike25]

Thats totally up to you guys about bringing food/drinks we will have some finger foods here and some drinks, but if theres something specific you would like to have than by all means bring it along!!! The more food the better. So far looks like its going to be a good outcome, even though its still early :D

[Aquatic Hamster]

I haven't made an Anchor meeting since January. I might have to try to make this one if that is ok. I might have some frags to bring, nothing special some xenia, kenya trees, maybe some zoos.

[BankerJohn]

Chad, I look forward to meeting you.

[pmike25]

Chad, its Mike the one you just met for the Zoos!!! LOL the meeting is at my house :D Ya can see my 180 itll be in

[TTRex94]

I would like to try to make and meet some of you all if that is ok. I cant say i will be able to make yet as i do property maintenance and am the only guy to maintain 40+ units and my life is controlled by the tenants....lol. Everyone has been so helpful in getting my 200g up and running and i am indebted to everyone. I hope in the future i can in some way pay you all back.

[ladyfsu]

Looking for macro algae and xenia if anyone has extra (I keep hearing about people having to flush their xenia so DON'T :D ). Acrylic sheets just arrived at school and I'll be making student refugiums this weekend (I don't even know how to operate a saw so this should be fun )...and we'll start fragging xenia well...when I have enough, lol! I refuse to spend $40 on a frag of xenia even if it is the school's money.

[pmike25]

OK, everyone who is going to attend this Sept meeting at my house please RSVP by the end of next week, so I can have a firm headcount.

Please bring frags to share, and also if you like but dont have to bring maybe some finger foods and maybe some drinks that you a may like. I will be providing some finger foods and drinks as well but dont know what everyone likes :D

Thanks, Mike

[gatorolsen]

Looks like I will have to miss this meeting as well

LadyFSU - I have plenty of (unmounted) xenia - you may want to see if BankerJohn could stop by my house and pick some up to take to the meeting for you.

Gatorolsen

[BankerJohn]

Banker John can provide courier services too! LOL

Keri, I guess you should host a meeting so we know you will make it :O

[Biscutz]

Hello all,

I too live in New Port Richey and Ted has been trying to get me to attend a meeting for quite some time. I would love to meet you all and share some frags. I have some Montipora digi's and caps that I could deffinitely frag out as well as full Kenya tree colonies.

Ian

[ladyfsu]

Thanks GatorOlsen and BankerJohn :) !!!

[pmike25]

Cool a fellow NPR person, hey there!! Nice to see others in our area.....Hope you can make it, ill be most def interested in some of your frags, maybe we can trade, I dont have much but maybe I have something you might like, hope you can make it!! :D

[BankerJohn]

Ian, I look forward to meeting you and welcome to ANCHOR. Donating frags to other members tanks is insurance for the "WHEN" rather than 'if' your personal tank crashes. When that happens, you can get all of your prized corals back quickly since frags will have been cared for in another separate system.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks.

I am RSVP'ing for one. Mike, Please PM me address, phone and directions (not the same directions you used to find my house since you got LOST!) - LOL

[pmike25]

Pmd BankerJohn..

[reefrubble]

Mike I also need directions,and phone #. Ted

[BankerJohn]

Ted, if you want, I can swing by and pick you up on the way. ** SAVE GA$ **

[BankerJohn]

Is it proper etiquette that I heisted the Anchor for my avatar too? Call me a copy cat. If you think I should remove it, PM me.

[pmike25]

Directions sent to Ted,

[reefrubble]

Thanks BJ. What time will you come by? Ted

[Steven M]

Count me as one. I have GSP, zoas, yellow polyps.

[reefrubble]

Mike, YGA PM

[pmike25]

Replied......Ted



.THANKS Steve!!! acclimenting in the process!!

[pmike25]

Not that these are too hot of an item in the reef world but ill have a couple of Xenia I can give away, thats about all for now because of my tank just getting going. I will try and host another meeting one month and give more frags away, much better ones!! For now thats all I have to offer, sorry guys, but hey Im providing the house for the meeting!!! Thats a start I guess!!:(

LadyFSU- I know your looking for some Xenia for your class mates, if no one else brings any you can have mine :D

[Biscutz]

Does anyone want Kenya tree colonies? I have whole colones about 8" across, I have 2 of these to give away if anyone is interested. I also have about eight 3" frags to give away as well.

I also have a nice rock with some orange zoo's I can give away as well.

Ian

[Steven M]

Ian, I have some orange with yellow centers zoos I can trade.

[Biscutz]

Steve,

Sounds good, I'll see if I can post a picture of the orange ones.

[Biscutz]

Found it, this particular rock has about 15 of these on it.

[reefrubble]

Ian, what salt mix do you use? Ted

[Biscutz]

I've been using Tropic Marine Pro, I realy like the high magnesium and calcium levels.

[ladyfsu]

I would like any Kenya trees you have...or zoo's that aren't already claimed.

OK this is what I have. I have a donated blue chalice of some kind. I don't think it is doing well in my tank, and quite frankly it's not what we need in class. My tank at home really isn't right for it either (I WISH it was!!). I'd like to frag it into 4 pieces or so but not really sure how, or if it is safe for it. Here's the pic. I can bring the whole thing and let you guys do it. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE CRAP PHOTOGRAPHY!!

http://www.reefrascals.org/images/600_P1010015.JPG

I also have this beautiful...erm...thing, lol. It's about 7 inches by 4 inches. I can bring a couple of frags of this.

http://www.reefrascals.org/images/600_flowery_coral.JPG

Hopefully one day my rics will grow out to share. They are gorgeous. First corals I ever bought and I've had them for about 2 weeks. Bright bright colors!

Anyone want a frag of gorgonians? I just had 6 big ones donated. I told the guy that I might frag some out so I can get other things from people in the future and he had no problem with that (thought it was good).

[BankerJohn]

Lady FSU,

The Chalice will need more light for sure. I would be interested in a frag of it for sure! I have no clue how to frag though.

I'll be sure to bring stuff from GatorOlsen's tank to you for the meeting. I also plan on bringing plenty of Chaetomorpha for those that want/need it.

[BankerJohn]

Ian, those are beautiful Zoos in the picture. After others get some, and if there are any left, I would like a few polyps to add to my tank.

[Steven M]

The Chalice well need to be cut with a saw. I have a derimal with a cutoff wheel.

[Aquatic Hamster]

Biscutz, those zoos are very pretty. I hope maybe I'll have something to trade with you. As you can see below I love to collect zoos.

For some trades I'm hoping to bring some zoos, and a green polyped Ora Scripps stag frag (I broke it off accidently about 2 weeks ago, its mounted an looks to be doing well). I think I've also got a colony of GSP somewhere in there to trade.

I can also bring some keyna trees, Anthelia and xenia (2 types) for anybody who wants it. I'll try to post some pictures later.
Chad

[pmike25]

WOW those are awsome Chad... LOVE that pic!!!

[Aquatic Hamster]

Here are some pictures of things I can try to bring for trade.

Zoos

Green polyp ORA scripps stag frag (frag to right, mother to left)
http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/44656stag.jpg

Metallic Green GSP

Anthelia for anyone who wants it.
http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/44656anthela.jpg

Xenia for anyone who wants it (a couple of different types).
http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/44656xenia.jpg

Also some kenya tree frags I didn't get a picture of.

I've seen photos already of several things I'd be interested in, zoos, chalice, pagoda cup(??).

[Steven M]

This is a pic of the orange with yellow center zoo's for trade. Mike got his frag.

http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/26601mini-corals_027.jpg

[Reefer421]

I would be more then happy to take any unclaimed frags. We are just getting our tank stocked. Especially the Xenia. I tried a piece before and it is the only thing that has not done well. It kinda melted away and still has a few very short pieces trying to come back.

I also have a few zoo frags, and a few mushrooms if any one is interested. I might have a piece of black tube coral. The black version of the sun polyps. I will try to frag a piece off. It is very healthy, opens everyday and eats like a pig.

Can't wait to see everyone there.

Rebecca

[Reefer421]

By the way Mike it will be me and John again. For the headcount!

[Biscutz]

Hey guys,

I don't have anymore of the orange zoo frags left. I gave the main frag to Mike, seeing he is our host. I moved a few rock rubbles right next to the large orange and green colony, so I should have a few polyps over there by next month. I still have Kenya Tree Colonies to give away and a few Monti-Digi frags (purple and green) to give away. I will also trade a large red Monti-Digi colony for any other SPS if anyone is willing. This colony is about 4" long and 3" across glued to a 4" piece of LR. Let me know if anyone is interested. (Pics to come when I get home .:) )

Thanks,

Ian

[Reefer421]

Mike, please PM me directions and phone number. Thanks.

[pmike25]

PM'd ya Rebecca!!!

[reefrubble]

Ian, Guess what, my pink tail started fragging my tank last night. It's time to pack bis bags.

[Biscutz]

OH NO! Isn't it nuts how they can change overnight!? I hope you can catch yours, good luck! How long have you had him? I only had mine a couple of weeks before he turned.

Ian

[reefrubble]

I had him about 3,and a half months. How did you catch yours? Ted

[Biscutz]

He was such a pig I just left the net in the tank for a few hours until he was used to seeing it. Then I put a bunch of krill near the net and he practically swam into it, haha.

[reefrubble]

Ian ,That's the way the one I have is. He's a pig . I'll try that tomorrow,and I mite try to feed him something tonight that way. He mite go into the net quicker that way tomorrow. Ted

[BankerJohn]

propagation is a wonderful thing... in nature and not necessarily in our little glass (acrylic) cages. Sorry for your luck Ted. What sticks got broken?

[reefrubble]

A little bit of everything. Most of the damage has been done to my orange cap so far. Ted

[Biscutz]

The pink tail I had really tore up my digi's. He was swimming around the tank with a dinner plate size colony in his mouth, dropping it from the top of the tank and then doing it again. I almost had to change my shorts!

[reefrubble]

I know what you mean. It's a good thing I sold my spear gun. Ted

[Biscutz]

Ted,

When you collected your NSW from the gulf, how far did you go out from sore?

Ian

[reefrubble]

Ian , The last time I went out ,I think it was about 20 miles. Ted

[Biscutz]

HOLY CRAP! Maybe 9mi isn't enough?? I tested the water and all parameters are good, but I did notice an accumulation of algae on the bottom of each bucket.

[Biscutz]

BTW Temp is down to 83 and dropping, maybe to fast.

[reefrubble]

You should be ok with the temp coming down. You don't want swings Up,and down,Up,and down. I go out that far for two reasons ,one to get away from fresh water discharge ,from the river,and two ,to get away from other pollutants. Ted

[Biscutz]

The problem is, I can't check the water for pollutants, as far as salinity, PO4, Calcium, Mag, Alk, Amm, Nitrite, and Nitrate everything is in order. I've never collected water from this close before, I guess I'm just a little reluctant to use it. What do you think?

[reefrubble]

Unless there is a red tide , I think you will be ok. Some times I only go out ten to twelve miles. In the summer the warm water close to shore seems to have more algae suspended in it. Ted

[Biscutz]

Thanks Ted, the water looks and smells fine. If there was a red tide outbreak you would really smell it in the water. I noticed that all the algae basically settled to the bottom, so I'm just going to siphon out the top 90% and use that. I couldn't belive the salinity level though, it was almost at 1.027. Now I know that this is perfectly fine in the realm of natural sea water, but normally it runs about 1.204-5 all the times I have tested it. I thought It was my refractometer needing to be calibrated, but I re-calibrated it with distilled water and it was right on the money again. What has been your experience with NSW up by you, as far as salinity?

[reefrubble]

Ian ,It's been running at 1.025 ,but I did get some that was 1.026. I get it just before high tide,on an incoming tide. The first time I was too close to shore ,and it was 1.024. The river water goes out quite a ways ,and stays close to the surface. I drop my pump down about 6 feet,about 12 to 14 miles out. Ted

[Biscutz]

I did the same thing about 9-10 miles out. My pump goes about 4.5-5 feet down. Well the water is in the tank, and everything is still alive, haha. Looks good!

[reefrubble]

Ian, how much water do you bring back with you ? I come back with 80 gal. , for my tank ,and 15 gal. for Paul's tank . Ted

[Biscutz]

WOW! I only do 25g at a time. How big is your boat ted? What do you transfer the water in?

[reefrubble]

My boat is only 21 ' ,but I have a fair amount of room. I use a mag drive pump to pump from the boat to my sump room. I drain the water from my sump ,and pump in the new water. Ted

[Biscutz]

Nice, we have a 19' boat and I just use 5g buckets. It's a real PITA.

[reefrubble]

I have some 50 gal food grade barrels. I think I paid $10. each for them. They smell like peppers,but I washed them out real well ,and they work fine.

[reefrubble]

Ian I think we hijacked this thread . We need to start a new thread ,or go over to the Reef Discussion Forum. There is a NSW thread over there , that I already responded to. Ted

[Biscutz]

ok

[ladyfsu]

Anyone have any extra styrofoam boxes like you get from the fish store? We're going to be making live rock in class and I need them if you have them sitting around.

I just use cardboard boxes for mine they work great!

[pmike25]

Adnup, Are you going to make the meeting? I see you all over the boards and wouldnt mind meeting you!!:)

I have lots of Xenia to give away!!!! LadyFSU I know you want some, bring a bunch of bags or tupperware!! :D

[pmike25]

So far we have at least 8-10 confirm people showing up, is there anyone else who hasent RSVP yet?

And hopefully this Hurricane will NOT affect the meeting :D

Adnup, Are you going to make the meeting? I see you all over the boards and wouldnt mind meeting you!!:)

Those who have met me usually regret it! :p I'm not sure if I can make it.......Although I'd really like to see your tank, the stand looks insane...

[pmike25]

LOL hhaha....Yeah the stand and canopy came out good, always can be much better though :)

Welp hopefully you can make it, if not you can stop by anytime and take a look at it.

[BankerJohn]

so who is bringing what for trading?

[ladyfsu]

I'm bring that chalice for you. It definately needs a new home FAST! If it looks healthy and big enough to split with someone then I think it should be (Steve and Mike get first crack). By December I should have quite a bit for the trading fun. Things are starting to multiply and grow...FINALLY!

Again, if anyone has any of the following and willing to give it up, I'll take as much as you have!

Xenia
Macro algae
xenia
Zoos/Shrooms
xenia
a bag of your sand (students will be filling their refugiums next week mostly with playsand but will need a jump start :) )

...and did I mention xenia plz :)

[Aquatic Hamster]

I'll have:

PomPom pulsing xenia
Tall pulsing xenia
Anthellia (clove coral)
Lime green zoos mixed with some red zoos
mounted frag of a green polyped ORA Scripps Stag
mounted keyna trees

If any of that chalice is still available I'd be interested. I'll bring lots of extra xenia for the junior reefers. :)

[adnup]

If not too late I might be a late entry for the meeting. I dont have any good frags too bring so what else is needed?
Paul

[BankerJohn]

I'm delivering stuff for GatorOlsen and will have plenty of Macro Algae and sand for you. I can also bring a kenya tree that I got from Paul (thanks paul) that has multiplied.

See you all tomorrow! - Ted, you never responded to the PM

[Biscutz]

All I have at the moment are Kenya tree colonies. I'm not sure if anyone wants one, PM if you do. I had an unfortunate crash 2 days ago and lost a few of my older acros.

Ian

[pmike25]

If anyone has extra bags please bring them. Thanks :)

Ian- Im sorry to hear that :( When my acros grow Ill keep you in mind for sure! Do you still have the Kenya from that other tank?

[Biscutz]

Yea, I have a big kenya tree colony that I was planing on giving away. Not all my acro's died, just a few. I accidently set my doser way to high for my 2 parts when the power went off. My PH shot up real high real fast. Everything else seems to be recovering. Time will tell.

Ian

[qckslvr76]

hey Mike, I may be coming tomorrow with my friend Jim...i also have three frags of xenia attached to rock if anyone once it..fyi...

[pmike25]

Cool, dood hopefully you can make it!!!

[Biscutz]

I new this might happen, I was called into work this morning for an emergency service call. My on call service tech is on vacation, so I have to pick up the slack for him. Sorry Mike, I was looking forward to seeing your tank and stand. I guess I'll have to meet the rest of you guys next time. Have fun!

Ian

[Steven M]

That's to bad, hope to see you at the next meeting.

[pmike25]

That IS too bad, darn work!!! Just let me know when you would like to swing by Ian....

[GlobaLPimP]

I will be attending if this notice is not too late. I had plans to go to the Keys which fell through, or I would have given longer notice. My tank is pretty new so I don't have any frags to trade:(

[Steven M]

Frag list, blue shroom for ladyfsu, gsp for globalpimp, still have the orange with yellow centers zoa's to trade.

[GlobaLPimP]

I need directions please. I live in Palm Harbor;) Do I need to bring anything?

[ladyfsu]

If anyone reads this before the meeting, I'll be there but late and can't stay long at ALL! Father-in-law is supposed to leave for Michigan and apparently he didn't know his 5th wheel got hit by lightning and hubby is helping him fix some things. So...I have baby-sitting issues.

Mike, if you read this in the next 45 minutes, will you pm me your phone number? Thx.

[ladyfsu]

Mike, your tanks is beautiful!!! I'm very jealous. I can't believe how different it was 3 months ago. Things are growing real nice. I told my husband about the tank, and he keeps looking at me and saying "NO, we are NOT drilling holes in the wall!" ...lol! HEHEhehehe we'll see :)

Thanks for the frags everyone...even the Gator who sent some goodies with the Nole. You guys that wanted some of the chalice will need to annoy BankerJohn for a while. I had to leave pretty fast, and I told him I hope he can share it with you guys as it grows.

Take care all! And Mike, thanks again! Your tank is REAL nice!

[GlobaLPimP]

It was great meeting everyone today!

Mike - your tank is sweet! Many thanks to you and your wife for your hospitality and the silver striped xenia. Your stand and canopy are awesome. However, I was thinking that your sump room would also make for a perfect area to have a wall tank facing your living room:D

Steve - thank you for the GSP's and the red mushroom.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend:)

[pmike25]

Hello everyone, THANKS all for showing up it was really nice seeing everyone again and meeting some new faces as well, Ive seen alot of the people all over these boards and it was nice to be able to put faces to the screen names!!! It was an AWSOME turn out, we had many people show up, But ya guys didnt eat or drink enough!!! We have so much food left over!!! Thats ok Ill just keep it till the next meeting!! LOL j/k

LadyFSU- Thanks for all the kind words and no problem at all about the Xenia, And thanks for that Candy Cane Ive always wanted one!!! I will have more for you, actually I have some more here for you that a member left for you Chad is his name and AquaticHamster is his screen name on here, so let me know when you want to pick them up

GlobaLPimP- It was very nice meeting you and your gf/wife!! Thanks also for the nice compliments on the tank, and Ill let the wife know when Im knocking the wall down whos idea it was!!!;) LOL Thanks again

[Aquatic Hamster]

It was nice meeting everyone. A very nice tank and very nice people.

[pmike25]

Hey Ron (GlobaLPimP), my son will NOT stop talking about your GF/Wife, which is it by the way? are ya guys married or just dating ?? I think hes in love!! I heard that he was laying in her lap!!! He is taking a bath and talking about her how "beautiful" she is!!! Tell ya girl were sorry if he was bothering her at all :D

[pmike25]

[Steven M]

Mike, your tank is looking real good. Had a good time and it was nice to meet everyone.

[glyle41]

had a good time glad to meet the new folks and catch up with everyone else

George

[pmike25]

Yeah George it was very nice meeting you and thanks for that great green cap and the other corals!!! Nice to meet your son also, hes a very smart kid!!

Hope that UV works for you.....

[BankerJohn]

I'm finally home!!! Mike, GREAT TANK AND WOODWORK!!! April, I appreciate the warm hospitality. Chad, I enjoyed meeting you and your wife (is it renee??? sorry, I am bad with names). GlobalP and wife, I enjoyed meeting you too. It's always good to see everyone else.

George, thank you again for letting me see your tank on the way home. You have some fantastic stix.... I'll get there someday.

LadyFSU, I truly appreciate the chalice. It looks pretty rough and has a lot of recession. I will beby it a bit to try and get it to come back. Once recovered, someone with a dremel can frag it at a meeting for us all.

FAOIS - we appreciate your kindness and help too. The fish are in a drip now acclimating. They were quite stressed :( from the trip.

Banker John

Hey Mike,
She's my wife;) And she says that your son was no bother at all and that he is a "very precious little boy"! We have a son that's 14, but thinks he's 18 and should be able to run the show. Boy do they grow up fast! Enjoy it while you can :D

Hey George - next time you want to frag that green or purple cap I'd be willing to travel and pay! The green looked great in Mike's tank;)

[Aquatic Hamster]

I hope everybodies frags do well. I gave out a bunch of xenia, and I know some people have a hard time growing it. But as I was cleaning out my frag tank this morning I found an example of how prolific it can be. Here is a picture of pom-pom xenia growing on macro algae. And I checked, it was firmly attached, not just loosely tangled in the algae. Very impressive little critters

http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/44656macro-xenia.jpg

[BankerJohn]

That is a classic pic Chad! Thanks for sharing.

I hope/wish someone took pictures during the meeting and will post/share. Steve, I saw you with a camera. What pics did you take?

[Steven M]

I just took pics of the tank. Next meeting I well take pics and post, just opened a photobucket to post pics.

[reefrubble]

Thanks Mike,and April , For hosting the meeting . I had a great time ,and enjoyed seeing some old faces,and meeting some new members. Mike ,you have a beautiful reef tank set up,and lovely home. BJ, Thanks for giving me a ride, it was great not having to drive. Ted

[pmike25]

Your very welcome Ted, It was really nice seeing you again and, the wife also said thanks for the compliment on cooking!!! You are right I didnt have anything to do with the food, except me choosing the piggys in the blankets!!! LOL :)

And again thanks everyone else who attended, its was much fun

I wouldnt mind hosting another meeting really soon, just let me know if you cant find anyone to host, Ill host all the time!! :)

[Reefer421]

Thank you so much Mike for not only hosting the meeting which was a great time, I just wish we could have got there earlier, but also for helping us yesturday. I know it took up most of your day, and I can't thank you enough.

I love you tank and especially the stand. I love the lip around the edge you have to set things on if you have to.

Thanks to aqautichampster for the Xenia. They were all very stressed from the car ride. The unmounted ones dissappeared as well as most of the pinks, but the mounted silver ones are doing well. I will let you know how they do.

[pmike25]

Thanks Rebecca and John, it was a VERY fun meeting

Now about picking up the tank/stand/and canopy, my as* is still recupping from that ride!! For some reason that ride took a toll on me!!! Not to mention that blinding rain we got on the way home. That stunk....GL with the plumbing today :)

[pmike25]

LadyFSU YGPM!!!!

[pmike25]

Biscutz you have a PM :D
