[reefrubble]

[adnup]

Beer? lol..only kiddin...I should be there.

[gatorolsen]

Earnie and I should be there, I will confirm once I know our work schedules

Looking forward to it,
Keri

[reefrubble]

I sure hope we have as good a turn out as the June meeting. So far it's looking good. Ted

[bklinefelter]

I'll be there. If ok may bring my Uncle.

[reefrubble]

Please do ,bring your Uncle. All are welcome. Ted

[BankerJohn]

It's looking like a decent RSVP list at this point. I can't wait to see Ted's tank again. It has been since the fall, Ted. I'm anxious to see the change and growth since last visit!

[reefrubble]

Don't expect too much John, I've been having an algae problem.

[adnup]

Ted,
As it stands I will not be able to attend :( . Oh well you guys have fun without me.....
Paul

[reefrubble]

Sorry to hear that Paul, if things change let us know. Ted

[glyle41]

I am going to try and make it too Ted but with the way things have been lately everytime I plan something family stuff always seems to come up but would like to see your tank see what has changed see if there is anything we might be able to trade

[BankerJohn]

I do plan on coming Ted! Do I need to bring anything? What is everyone else bringing?

I have plenty of Chaeto if anyone needs/wants any (I hear Tangs love it, but don't have a tang to know for sure). Sand trade anyone?

[BankerJohn]

I have a jar of "Sweetwater Zooplankton" to bring & give away. If someone wants some Chaeto, please let me know and I will bring that too.

[gatorolsen]

John - I'll take some Chaeto if you have some to spare

also I wanted to let everyone know that Earnie just got a copy of the DVD "Water's Journey" that explores the aquifer - basically footage of divers mapping out the aquifer while other team members track them on land - watched it last night and there are some really beautiful shots

anyway it is about an hour long and I thought that if there was interest, I could bring it to this meeting or any future one and we could all watch it

Just let me know

Gatorolsen

[dmbedard]

Oooh, fishy movies... oh yeah!

Diane

[BankerJohn]

I'm in for a movie! Thanks Keri. I'll bring plenty of Chaeto for you.

[gatorolsen]

Ok with you Ted? Or do you want me to wait until Aug meeting - I think John expressed interest with hosting?

Gatorolsen

[reefrubble]

It's ok with me,but my big screen died,and all I have right now is a 19" TV.

[BankerJohn]

Keri, my tv is not that great either. We can watch it at my house in August, but it is a small tv too.

[BankerJohn]

I'm looking for additional life forms for my sand bed and refugium. I was reading an article and saw a picture of mysid shrimp. I don't have any in my entire system and would like to add them. If you have some in your tank/system, can you try to bring some to the meeting on Saturday. Also, if you have live sand, I would like a sample of that too with as many worms, and other life forms possible in the sandbed.

The article I read was on DT Phytoplankton's webpage and written by Ron Shimek. After reading the article, I am planning to change my fuge a little and remove the shrimp and other hermits from it.

I'm also planning to add DT's to my tank diet. I'll pick some up from Get Tanked on Saturday on the way home.

[glyle41]

I really do hope I can make it to this meeting would like to be able to catch up with everyone and see what changes Ted has made to his tank since the last time i saw it he really was just getting it back up and running right

[bklinefelter]

Ted, if you could, I need to know what time the meeting is and your address. Thanks. can't wait to see the tank and everyone.

Steve, My uncle is comming with me and am not sure how long we can stay. Thanks though. See you tomorrow. Brian

[bklinefelter]

Hi everyone, something just came up and my uncle an I will not be able to come to the meeting. Which relly stinks because I wanted to see Ted's setup. Thanks, Brian

[BankerJohn]

Bummer Brian... I had some corals for you to help stock your tank. Next time Banker John

[gatorolsen]

Earnie and I will miss this one too - sorry for last min. but was waiting to see if I would feel better -

[BankerJohn]

Ted, thank you for hosting another GREAT meeting! Your set up is absolutely awesome and breathtaking. Thank you also for the frags... they are acclimating.

Steve - Keri's rock made it to the second turn on Shoal Line before it rolled in the seat and broke :( I have the pieces for her. Maybe she can epoxy/putty them back together. I feel so bad; it was so nice!

Diane, Ted & Steve, it is always good to see each of you again.

See you all next month.

[Steven M]

Ted, I had a very good time at the meeting. Thank you for the frags, well the one is more like Hugh. Your tank and corals look good. The boat ride was a nice bonus. Diane, thanks for the frag. Well send PM. Now for John, don't fell to bad I broke one too. I should have put it in a box. If Keri likes the rock I can make more and box them. Thanks for the fish food.
Steve

[reefrubble]

Thanks for the kind words B J,and Steve. I had a good time also. Steve did you take any pics? Please post them if you did. Always good to see everyone again. Steve thank Cheryl for the dip,it was superb as always. B J thanks for the chato I'll get it in a basket tomorrow. Diane ,thanks for your support,I can always count on you. Ted

[dmbedard]

I had a good time too, guys. Kids and I enjoyed the wonderful food and the great company. I appreciate the frag John and can't believe we had rocks for me! I just enjoy getting together with the group and learning about fish tank stuff. You guys are all too good to me. I am happy that my tank is finally growing so I can at least get some small frags to give.

Ted, your tank is becoming more beautiful each time I see it. You are winning the algae war! I hope the chaeto from John helps!

Diane

[ladyfsu]

I really wanted to be there! Hopefully one day I can see Ted's tank. Glad it all went well.

[dmbedard]

How are you doing? How are the tanks coming along? Do you have any pics of them? Are the frags growing for you?

Diane

[BankerJohn]

Steve, I was able to super glue the rock back together for Keri. :) Now let's hope it holds long enough for me to deliver to her!

[gatorolsen]

:( sorry we missed the meeting, I think earnie and I are trying to fight off some kind of bug - figured it would be best not to share

sounds like we missed a fun meeting - a boat ride ?

Steve, John - sounds like I have a surprise - I still get goodies even though I couldn't make it? :D

cant wait to see everyone - might be able to make the garage sale if not then at the August meeting

Keri

[BankerJohn]

Keri, call me 422-1606, when you are feeling better and I can deliver your now repaired and like new surprise.

[reefrubble]

Keri, We missed you,and Earnie. Hope you guys start feeling better soon. Ted

[gatorolsen]

thanks for the thoughts- earnie still took it easy today but I went back to work - figured I prob. picked up a bug from one of the kids so only fair I share it or return it -

John, I will give you a call wed - we have company down for the 4th and besides I am sure your girls are excited about the firework fun

Happy 4th everyone
Keri

[ladyfsu]

Diane -- I've been working real hard on the tanks. I'll post up pics later today. The frags are growing great. The pink cloves (if that's what they're called) are growing like crazy! They are actually hosting 2 little perc's and it's so cute!

The only thing I had a problem was with the beatiful blue mushrooms (my favorite). They let go of their rock and disappeared and I was pretty sad...BUT...just a few days ago they started peaking out of a hole and seem to be thriving. I'm going to let them stay there another month to see if they'll grow and come out on their own.

I'll post pics later today.

Thx again everyone. I'm addicted!
