Welcome to the club and good to see some more students in here. I know few reefers from Pottsville area and you might see them here soon too. If you need any help with pictures please let me know.

Hey whats up..I think all of us Williamsport Area Reefers should get together sometime I know the frag swap is may 6 but that is a long time away..You got the spot yet Mo?

[reefinnewb]

thanks zooqi!! I shouldnt need any help posting the pics but if for some reason im feeling exceptionally dumb that day ill give ya a hollar lol. Im hoping my new bulb is waiting for me at home today so i can take some good shots of the tank. My 70w Ushio is too yellow for me so i got a current 14000k. Should look alot better.

[reefinnewb]

well here is a little sneak peek of the tank when i had PC lighting. The pics are about a month old so alot has changed since then.

looking good, how do you take care of it when you are at school?

[zooqi]

Very impressive and nice tank. I like the clownfish pair you have there too :D Was that a hairy mushroom or is anemone ? Thanks for sharing,,
Nate : We do have the spot but I need to have it confirmed with a check.
We do meet once a month and as a matter of fact I'm thinking about meeting at Benjees from now on.

Tank is looking good man. Also what are you taking up at Penn College? I am also a student there in the Network Technology program.

[reefinnewb]

Thanks, well i have an a.a.s in NT now im working for my BS in technology management.

[bmac]

Reefinnwb, and shimmy-yaz. I work at penn College. Do you guys know of any other reefers on campus / There ia a possibility of starting a club on campus if enough people get involved. Zooqi, that would be one way to get that tank up and runnin we were lookin at in the LRC

[reefinnewb]

Nope not off hand. I wish i did though cause i feel like such a geek im the only person i know that does reef tanks lol.

[shimmy_yaz]

Yeah I don't know of anyone off hand that is into reefs at school either. Let me know about the club though I would like to try and help as much as I can but kinda hard with work and school.

[zooqi]

bmac, I did not mind putting few $ on that tank and help them out but the person who was going to give the light (that's why I offered to help) backed up after I decided to help them. I can help high schools but can use most of the stuff I can put in colleges for other projects. If there is a good light and I don't mean light with bad wires that can cause problem then I don't mind doing something there. They can have a tank but it will be like my seahorses tank at home and no corals. The other problem with that tank was that I could be there twice a week certain hours when they had a class and it is not easy to do that and if I miss one or two of those days then I'm not up to date. You know me I go through tanks as I move from one to other. If that tank or other tank is setup somewhere that we can access anytime we want that will be great. To be honest I don't even mind putting a huge tank somewhere we can have an access to anytime. I know the teacher can take care of it but the only thing we can do now is to setup tank, with live rock, snails, hermit crabs, algae and I can do that in a day. I have asked John since he was there more than me to plug the holes so I can bring the stuff be I guess he got busy. I would love us to do something there.
