[Safir]

day after my carribean trip.. don't think i'll be up for much of anything that day.

[RBTA]

I'd be interested, and I currently have nothing going on then.

[mbbuna]

im interested

[cmondo]

I am interested, but i will be getting back to DE on the 26th for school, so i won't make that one.

[wds21921]

Interested.

[wds21921]

Mary when you get back let me know if you still need or want that 20 gallon rubbermaid container ok?
If not, I'll just use it for storage.

[Tbor]

Looks like we have a few people, so let's go ahead with the meeting. We can keep it informal - frags, chit-chat, snacks, whatever. Are you up for it, Ken?
On another note, I got back from vacation to find that my AC wasn't working so well, and the tank is a mess. Luckily, I have mostly softies, but a few montis are starting to bleach. Everything always happens while you're away, right?
I don't think I need the rubbermaid, Dave. Thanks tho.

[wds21921]

No problem.

[dvlhzdu]

I am in for the 21st.

[JJM]

[Tbor]

Yeah, no more excuses now that we're meeting right down the road!! Just ribbin' ya! Hope you can make it! - Mary

[JJM]

[kaptken]

Me Too!!

[Gordonious]

I plan on being there and may have a frag or two to trade. My yellow Gorgonian when I purchased it had to be split up and I now have 4-5 small pieces of LR with gorg attached. PM me if interested.

If anyone does want to trade please help me to remember to ask you how to bring it to the meeting. I'm a newby and don't want to realize I don't have something to bring it in right before the meeting.

Jon

[Gordonious]

When I ask this remember I'm new at this.

How should I bring my frags? I've never traded before. Also before I forget to tell anyone my salinity is a bit higher then many of your tanks may be so you can adjust your acclimation methods and time.

[RBTA]

Well you could just put it in a sandwhich bag with water from your tank, then just double bag it so it doesn't leak? That is what I have seen many people do.

[Gordonious]

I knew it would involve something I didn't have that I could get in Walmart, lol. Knew that as soon I was standing in the place.

[Gordonious]

I think I may just bring a frag for you RBTA and leave the rest in my tank for now. I have no idea what the trading will be like and I also don't know what I would want to trade for yet.

I'm going to feel bad when I can't remember who is who in person. I am horrible with normal names, then when you have an online name and a normal name it's twice as hard, lol.

[kaptken]

real reefers always have a closet full of every plastic bag they brough fish or frags home in from the LFS in their life. oh, and every rubber band too. its just one of those tell tale traits. you always think you will need them some day and just cant throw them out. you ought to see my collection...kinda like making the worlds largest ball of tin foil.

[Gordonious]

lol. I actually have some friends that work at an LFS in Sussex county, so they brought me home some of the bags unused. And I used to work at Staples for a while so I picked up some rubber bands there. The paper bags however I don't have.
Been into fish tanks for years, but so far I only have one species of coral. Well... possibly two. I have a sponge growing on the bottom of a rock that came out of no where.

[reefdadx2]

Anyone have the full address of the Newark Library? Michael R

[wds21921]

Don't have the zip but you can mapquest it in Newark Delaware and it should work

[Gordonious]

Let me know if you need help finding the place. I'm pretty good with directions and know my way around Newark and most of DE very well.

[reefdadx2]

Thanks for the address, it will be out of my driving range as I am here with family. Glad to see there is a club up here though. Michael R

[Gordonious]

Yeah there is a club up here. There isn't much of anything in Sussex County accept for the beach, lol.

[dvlhzdu]

Sorry that I could not attend last night, family medical emergency that had me in NJ.

[kaptken]

I hope Is well Tom..

[dvlhzdu]

Thanks Ken.

[Tbor]

Hey Tom, Sorry we missed ya. Hope everything is OK.

[dvlhzdu]
