September Reef Meet

[howdy20012002]

Well I am once again going to try to see the interest level in having a reef meet at the end of the month.
I would be willing to host and was thinking off doing a DIY Live Rock Demo...
Let me know what people think and what day would work best.
I am looking at the evening of Sept 30 or Sunday the 1st
Neal

[Murminator]

My vote is for Sunday....I will be out on a Santa toy run Saturday :mrgreen:

[b_james]

Saturday is good for me... :smile:

[Beverly]

Either Saturday or Sunday evening would be okay with us, as far as I can forsee.

I don't have any frags for trading, but would be interested in buying a few select SPS frags.

[howdy20012002]

How bout friday the 29th of Sept at 7 pm
I will encourage people to come by having over 50 zoo frags of multiple colours available for the meet.
LMK what people think of this
Neal

[Beverly]

We could do Fri/29 at 7 pm.

[Sammy]

Howdy Neal,

I would be up for Fri,Sat or Sunday at 7pm. I want some of those multi zoo's :lol: I also have a couple frags I could bring.
Cheers,

Sammy

[Skimmerking]

Well I guess If you make it on Fri night then i can make it I don't fly out til 11:30 on Sat morning...

[Murminator]

I can do Friday :mrgreen:

[michika]

Friday doesn't work for me, Sunday or Saturday evening is best.

[Matt]

Friday would work better for us than Saturday. Sunday is usually OK too, but I like the Friday idea.

Matt

[J.Lloy]

I wouldn't be able to make that one, work the F,S,S,M
I'll call ya later Neil could use a few supplies

[Dad]

Catherine if you don't show up who will I give my cookies too?

[Murminator]

Catherine if you don't show up who will I give my cookies too?

The fat guy in the corner :mrgreen:

[howdy20012002]

So then, the meeting will be at 7 pm at 29 Sept 06 at my house
I am thinking the idea of DIY live rock will work well and I already have more than enough supplies for everyone.
I will also have tonnes of zoo frags and a few other frags available.
Maybe sell of a few of my ricordia and such.
Lets have a great meet and maximum participation and trading.
BTW, I am open to trades on the frags if people have something in mind pm me
I will let everyone know my address next week.
Neal

[michika]

Cookies? I must have cookies! I am using a vacation day for this! Its all about the cookies! I will be in for Friday the 29th!

Is anyone bringing SPS frags?
I can contribute cash!

cookies *drool*...mmmm...*drool* cookies...

[Matt]

I'll be there. In deference to custom, I will now start a separate thread for the frag swap/sale!

Matt

[fishguyxd]

darn
Don't think I 'll be able to make it wife is in out of town on business
So it's me and my son.


anyone know what brian's handle or email is from little ocean
in edmonton?

[RicePaddy]

I will try and make it. I am new to the hobby and I would be very interested to hear various points of view on various topics. Never swaped a frag and just learned what a frag was about two weeks ago. At this point I am more of a poker player than a frag swaper.

Will

[Skimmerking]

Well I'm glad that the meeting is on Fri night and I'm able to go ,just have to see if Lando will go to the meeting and pick me up for it too. Pleae Lando come on man help out a ghetto reefer guy down on his luck...

[snailbuddy]

Hey there salty dogs! Yay! I will be there and think that I totally deserve some cookies :) Am doing renovations at home so am looking for any excuse to escape!!!

[Salinity Now]

Neal, looks like I might be able to make this meet. Man, I'm really looking forward to seeing your tanks again.


Terry

[Beermaster]

Looks like i as well will be tagging along with Dad

so see you all there, and i will be prepaired for my beating :D

Mark

[muck]

I may have to come just to join the flog line for Mark.. :lol:

[Matt]

Neal,

Would you like us to bring anything? (Other than a boyscout host-gift-frag, of course).


Matt

[howdy20012002]

If people want to bring some snacks or drinks..that would be great.
I will also be giving a 20.00 gift certificate for inverts as a door prize.
Sounds like we are going to have a big crowd, which is great.
BTW, I live in the hood and my address is 8305 117 ave for those of you haven't been there before.
I am trying to get together as many frags as possible for everyone as well.
I will try to post some pictures of the zoo frags that I will have available.

[DocReefer]

Hi Neal,

Just-in-case I am lost (Edmonton is not my hometown), could I get a phone # from you? I am driving from Lacombe, AB. Unfortunately, Lacombe is too small to have a salt community, so I have to join you guys in the big city. See you Friday night.

Laurence

[howdy20012002]

of course
my number is 951 2271
I have a big garage and 3 boats on my property.
I also have a big limo bus parked across the street right now..so yea..should give you a few things to look for.

[howdy20012002]

Just so everyone knows to bring lots of cash (if they want frags that is) I just made about 50 zoo frags last night along with a couple of GSP and Colt coral frags
I will try to post pics of the zoos later today
I must say though that most are nicer than what I have seen at the LFS and are equilivant to or better in some cases to what frag factory has.

[michika]

Sweet, this is sounding good! With Mark showing up for his public flogging is now dinner, a show, and goodies to take home with you!

[Joe Reefer]

What time is all this going down?

[howdy20012002]

7 pm

[howdy20012002]

Hey does anyone have a camera that would take some good pics of my setups and zoos?
I tried taking some pics with my digi and they just aren't turning out.
If someone is willing to bring one to the meet that would be great
thanks
Neal

[Beermaster]

I am sure if you ask real nice to Dad, he will :D

[Doug]

You guys take care of Mike now. :lol:

Tell him I sold his 175 halide ballasts & reflectors. :smile:

[Beverly]

Was at Neal's lat night. He's got lots of great looking and rare zoo frags :cool: Bring $$.

[howdy20012002]

I was wondering if some people wanted to bring their hydrometers and Ph Monitors.
I just want to make sure that mine are reading properly.
My ph monitor always reads less than the test results from my test kit.
This way everyone can make sure that theirs are reading properly.
Dad, if you could bring the camera that would be great
thanks
Neal

[Matt]

Thanks, Neal! It was great fun, and great to see everyone. It is a bit tough to place frags in the dark, but we managed (maybe that's why we've done these in the daytime before?)

Safety4Fire: I'm afraid we sold your boyscout frag before you arrived... very sorry, but if you PM me, I'll find you a frag next time we're moving that rock around!

Best to everyone,
Matthew

[snailbuddy]

Thanks so much for hostig the meet, Neal! It was great to get over to your place and see how well your 3 billion tanks are doing! Love to see all the reefers too - yay! Had to over-ride the lights but all creatures are now settled in. Thanks again - lots of fun :)

[saltaddict]

Great meet Neil. Not sure how you can look after so many tanks but you do a great job of it.

[howdy20012002]

Water changes can be a bit of a pain..and take about a week for them all.
Please post some of those pics you took...
