Reef Clubs in Fort Wayne, IN

[Leaky01ch]

I can come the 26th or the 29th. Looking forward to meeting people in the hobby.

[Freed]

Don't know if I can make any specific meeting but I can get tons of Mississippi Lime on the cheap.

[LOVETHISHOBBY]

My vote is for the 26th, but can do the 29th too.

What about meeting at one of the Buffalo Wild Wings? There is one on the Northeast side and one on the Southwest side.

[Freed]

Wild and Blazin are my sauce of choice.

[LOVETHISHOBBY]

Freed,

What is Mississippi Lime? What do you use it for?

[Freed]

It is kalkwasser. You use it for dosing to raise pH and alkalinity. It's the same stuff that LFS sell for $10-$30/lb. I can get it on the cheap for $0.50/lb. SAME EXACT CHEMICAL.

Must have been looking at an old calander. Saturday the 26th works out best for me.

Saturday the 26th works best for me. I am usually bushed in the evenings.....after work....And at BW3 on the northeast side the one out at 37 and 469 or Dupont work good......either one would be great! I could maybe host a meeting later on when the weather is better .....my only problem is my 3 dogs if the weather is good I can put them outside....

[Fireworm]

alright, now we have something going

We will all meet at Buffalo Wild Wings on Dupont on Saturday the 26th. I will call tomorrow to see if I can reserve some seating for everyone. I will try to get it set up for 2 in the afternoon. I will post something tonight to let everyone know for sure.

I hope all can attend. If you know anyone else not on the site that might be intrested please let them know. The more people we can get the better we will be.

[LornaS]

Count me in!

I would love to get involved in this. However, you all seem way more experienced than I am! LOL! I have not set up a saltwater tank yet, I only have freshwater. I would love some to help me get one set up! I don't even know where to begin.

[Freed]

Come join us at BWW on the 26th and maybe we can give you some pointers.

[welcome]

[Fireworm]

hello all

I called out to BWW today and they do not take reservations of any sort. The nazi bast@rds. LOL...

Thats still cool with me. If we all plan to meet out there at 2 on the 26th I am sure we can find room. I am going to try to get there early and see if I can get a space for roughly 20 people.

Also I am going to have a sign in sheet that if everyone could please sign that would help get a club roster started. Just simple name, email, and maybe phone # and/ or forum name so we can recognize one another on the sites.

If anyone has any other suggestions I am all ears.

I have only been in the hobby of salt for about 1 1/2 years and only doing reef for a year. It is amazing what you can learn from just talking to others in person.

I wish I lived closer! I live in Rochester (60 miles west of Fort Wayne) and would like to find some guys I could trade with occasionally. That is cool you guys are starting up this new club. Awesome networking opportunity. Congrats and good luck!

you don't have to come to every meeting by any means. If you get a chance come up to the first one. It should be a good turn out.

If nothing else please keep in touch with the page for upcoming meetings that you might have a chance on coming to.

Hopefully, if all goes to plan, I would like to set up a website for the club and have a frag section so people can post frags they have for sale or trade for the club.

[LornaS]

This sounds great! I wish there had been a club when I first started it would have saved me a bundle. I have some old odds and ends kicking around which would be offered up to our club first to our members.....

Getting a website would be great too. I am all for this as it is a great way to swap frags and be a support network in the event something happens we can then get our own frags back.....great idea and I will be there on the 26th.
