Summary of the last meeting


I had a great time. It was everything I had imagined and more. Everyone was sooooo nice and informative n sharing. Josh from MR wanted to buy us lunch even though he wasnt coming. I bought 3 pie's. Josh no need...,

My power point presentation came with discussions of personal experiences and dosing techiques of everyone. We actually had round table type dicusssions.

I received advice on placement of my probes with relation to my chiller and the such. I just believe that the level of interest was very detailed n sincere.

We reviewed and tested my new Hanna Phosphate checker. We test some of the water which surprised some people of the results.

With some sharp scalpels Anthony demonstrated fragging techniques along with pearls of experince. OzoneParkGuy donated Zoos to frag for all who wanted.

We also reviewed plumbing n plumbing parts.

Tomtoothdoc brought me a gift of a beautiful SPS colony of a green elkhorn. Thank you Tom.

AquaticExpress delivered. Lovely family, Alex.

That guy Staaan is a nice guy and intelligent. I can't wait to see George's new tank. We all need to go to his house for design planning of his system. jcs11236 recieved his first SPS pieces. He was happy.Motortrendz, Jarrett Shark, n Anthony27 all played well together.

Finally YoungReef n BigLA showed up around three then we took a road trip to ManhattanAquariums in my car. WOW!! what a cool place. tomtoothdoc warned me but i didnt believe him not to bring my credit cards lol I left there with a Derasa Clam. But hey it came with a 35% discount!

Back to the office to put the clam in to tank when a fellow reefer showed up at 630! Ah it was ok he helped me put stuff in my car lol

Pictures by George of the gathering are here


thank you, gentleman I had a great time.

Grew up in OzPk, but don't get back often. Great idea, I'll try to make one at some point. Might be able to put together something about automation or refugiums for you at some point.

So ummm... can we cure athlete's foot at the same time?
