Thanks for hosting, Chris! Awesome tacos and a great time. The zoas are beginning to open up :)

Thank you again, Chris and Monica, for letting us come over and see your awesome tank, learn about fragging--and LOTS OF OTHER TIPS AND ADVICE! We really enjoyed it! We are enjoying the zoos and other frags--thanks so much for the advice and the cheato, too, Chris!

I agree... Thank you guys so much for hosting! Big thanks to Sean for the zoa rock, too. I had a great time. Can't wait for next months meeting, which is actually only a couple of weeks away... of course I guess they all are... heh.

Anyways, thanks again to those who put it together. I honestly think we have one of the best and most active clubs... can't do that without great officials and great club members!

Thanks, Chris & Monica! Great meeting! Great tacos!

When I got home, I tried to re-glue the zoa frags to what I though would be a perfect ledge for them to, hopefully, spread over time. Each time I thought the glue had set, I would come back to find the frags in the sand. Finally I saw that my lightning wrasse was just knocking them off each time I turned around! I tried to protect them this way until the glue set longer: :D

Hey! That is one pretty fish. Do you have any complete pics of it you can post?

[gottahaveaDori]

And--you should put a little bubble caption by the wrasse that says, "Hey! What the heck is that????!!!!"

Thanks for all the kinds words and thanks for everyone pitching in and bringing stuff. I think we ended up with even more food than we could eat. I hope everyone had a good time and will enjoy the zoa frags. Everyone please remember to thank Sean at Ebay for hooking us up with a good deal on those zoas.

great meeting Chris. Got 2 different colormorphs of those orange zoas. Also here is a link to a electric pressure washer for right at $100 bucks if that idea might work for you.

Wish I could have hosted. Sorry for the last minute change and Thanks again Chris for stepping up. Lupe is doing well and starting to get around better this week. Sounds like it was a good meeting.

[crumbletop]

Glad things are okay, Robert, and that she is getting better. Sorry you had to miss the meeting.

As always, nice pics, Howard. It's amazing what you get from that little camera.

[fallinapart]

Thanks to everyone at the meeting for making me feel welcome, and answering questions. It was a great time, and of course kudo's to Chris and Jack for the time and effort and I'm sure others that I am not aware of. The Zoas have opened up look great. Looking forward to the next meeting.

It was great meeting you, Norman! :)

I know it's a few days late, but I don't think it was mentioned at the meeting and wanted to let everyone know what dremel bits were used for cutting the rock.

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b152/uahpimp/dremel_bits.jpg

Workshop Tools at the Opry Mills mall sells those bits, pack of 20 is $3. They're the cheapest we've been able to find and they even work on glass. You don't always have to have the most expensive. These bits are about cheap enough to use for one session and throw away. And I'm pretty sure Chris mentioned, there's no need for a dremel that large/expensive either.

[NeveSSL]

Those are diamond cutters, FWIW. Will didn't mention (not trying to undermine you man ;) ).

They also have them at Workshop Tools in Sevierville if you're on vacation over there. I picked mine up there plus some tiny refurbished drill bits for drilling PCBs. :)
