Meeting time. I vote we get some black leather jackets that say "T-Town Thunderbirds (and Reefkeepers)" :)

I am in the process of setting up a 75 gallon too. I have teh stand built, and I'm going to start building the canopy as soon as finals are over. Here are some pics of the stand: :)

That stands looking good. I would be in for getting together for a small meeting as well, just specifiy where or when. Last time we almost got it rolling but it never took off. I know there are at least 5 local reefers in Tuscaloosa and probably many more. If we meet up anybody got any ideas for a topic?

[Nitroq2]

Yep I would be divorced (LOL) , wife would kill me for building in the livingroom! Kidding aside the stand looks really nice just had to chime in when i seen where you were working at :-).

[6Speed]

hahah, luckily I only have to deal with a roomate getting upset about the messes I make. The livingroom is still a disaster, but at least the stand has been moved to the corner since those pics were taken. :)

Looks great so far, Zack!

For those that don't know me, I'm moving in a couple of months and am looking to SERIOUSLY thin out my tanks before I do. I may even consider unloading the whole setup! If/when we have a meeting soon, I'll bring pictures. I'll offer up my place to host again, but no one seems to want to drive that far!

[6Speed]

Heres an updated pic of the stand/canopy. I am ordering the doors for the canopy tomorrow. It will have 2 on the front, and 1 on each side. The whole front of the canopy also flips up. There is still a good bit of trim left to be put on, and there are some areas I need to work with the stain a little, but overall it's almost done.

If anyone wants to set an actually date! With a little bit of notice I think most will be able to show! You set a date and I will be there! I will even bring some Monti cap frags if anyone want one.

Thanks
Aaron

I would be down for a couple of small monti frags and have some green and red mushrooms to trade as well. We do need to meet up, guess the 3rd of June would be a good time. I am in a pretty central location in Rivermont apartments located about 3 miles from downtown Tuscaloosa. I would not mind hosting then if you guys wanted. I could pick up some beer as well -

Brad

[woodywoo]

The 3rd sounds good to me! So I second the day. I also vote for 5pm. I got some wonderful frags from phillip today at A.D. I always love going by there at seeing the wonderful corals.

[edwar050]

Who will be able to make it at my place on the 3rd?

[woodywoo]

me! but we already know that from my last post!

[Cholesterol]

I'll be there :)

[6Speed]

I should be there. :)

[kraftyforu]

ill ask off on that day so i can too

[kraftyforu]

hey guys i got some new pics of the tank after my move. i upgraded from a 55 to a 75.

[edwar050]

I was thinking around 5 pm on June 3rd. Its the Rivermont apartments apt#705, tuscaloosa/northport al 35406. My apartment is past Cypress in if coming from Mcfarland. If coming from downtown towards Northport its the first right & down about 2 miles on the right after a small bridge. My # is 205-886-5164 if you need directions. I was thinking we could trade frags/equipment at the meeting. Anybody looking for a certain frag or need any equipment. I have an old little giant pump and a small scratched arcylic 8 gallon that would work as a quarantine.

Brad

That stand and canopy turned out nice!

[woodywoo]

I will bring some RED monti Cap frags that broke off last week. You might want to glue them to the rock or plugs.

[kraftyforu]

ok i got the pics ready

I have a frag of green monti cap thats not doing to well if anybody wants it and two red mushrooms. I also have some extra equpiment like an 8 gallon quarantine, some old VHO bulbs, and little giant pump.

Tank looks awesome, Krafty!

I'll bring some stuff to trade/give away...I'm also going to need help moving my tank at the end of July, so maybe I'll exchange some livestock for some labor! :lol:

What time on Saturday? I've got a meeting on campus until about 3, but I can leave early if I need to...

[edwar050]

Were going to need a crew to move your tank Chris. For the meeting, I was thinking around 5 P.M. This Saturday. I have coors light, natty, homemade chili, and some hot dogs.

The address is 201 Marina Drive Apt. # 705
Past Cypres Inn if coming from McFarland

[woodywoo]

Chris you got my number if you need me to help. What week in July are you moving? I'm going to atlanta tomorrow morning to see some of the fish stores there I will being picks. I should be back by 4:30 so I will come straight there.

[woodywoo]

Well the fish guy that was going with me to atlanta back out. So I'm giving an open invitation to anyone in the T-Town area that wants to ride over with me can. I plan on leaving at 6am. So if you have nothing better to do send me a PM and I will send you the details.
