[purplepolypeater]

Maple Ridge isnt so far.....

Scott

you are right skylord i am not a driver though so i rarely make it out of my tiny town all though if we ever arrange a gathering of mission reefers i would enjoy seeing our neighbors as well otherwise there may only be like 3 of us:wink:

[REDNECK_REEFER]

Yeah theres a few of us in the ridge. My self and my roomate are both nuts for reef tanks. we should arrange a dinner or lunch or something. I know that I have lots of frags available and i've definateley made my share of mistakes when i started up so we could probably arrange something.

[rocknroll]

I'm in Mission - no tank yet:sad: I've had a small freshwater tank forever and have been trying to learn as much as possible about reefs - want to get one setup as soon as I can. Would love to see some local tanks.

[e46er]

Im in ridge and have my first salt tank cycling (will be a reef tank) id like to meet up with some local guys sometime check out tanks

[dkcrx]

I'm in Mission, one of Collins neighbours. Been reefing for about 7 years, current system is a 300gal cube. 5x4x2ft A local meet would be cool. Dean

[niloc16]

where you at? you can pm me with it if you want.

[dkcrx]

was that reply for me? if so, on Boothby. we've talked befor.

[niloc16]

oh yeah ok. i'm really bad with attaching faces to the canreef names. sorry man. are you really shutting the system down or are you going to upgrad

[purplepolypeater]

since this thread has finally grown from me and colin maybe a meet at mission springs is in order soon?

[niloc16]

mmmmmmm beer and you can use your canadian tire money there too.

[Tangman]

I'd be in for a spings' meet as well .....did some one say ..beer

[morph]

ok im in too

[zeddy]

I live in mission and am new to reef tanks, i would love to view other tanks and get help and advise from other reefers.

[bullit67]

I keep meaning to reply to this thread as well. I am also in Mission, a reef geek beer and burger meet at the springs would be a good place to start. I know every one is busy this time of year so maybe we should set it up for the new year? just a thought. I am still in the midst of my sump room build. I will be heading over to Aquatic Addictions to pic up the new sump later today

[purplepolypeater]

whenever you guys want i dont work sat sun mon sooo... lets drink like fish

[rocknroll]

I'm in - What time and date?

[dkcrx]

Time and Date?

[busymum]

We have a 95 bowfront all glass corner, we have gone to all of the "big" names and have found Dan & Nikki to be the most honest. We would love to learn from people who know more than we do in Mission preferrably, give us a shout anytime, we will try to make ourselves available for us to come to you or you to come to us. Also we are interested in a reef tour if any others are interested. (Always willing to learn and always willing to help).

P.S. We need the reef tank because the 6 kids have taken over our TV.

[brickwood]

How about Abbotsford? Or is that on the wrong side of the river? :wink:

[reef_junkies]

We are also in Mission and would be interested in meeting.

Thanks Darrin & Toreen

[alfredshouse]

My neighbour and I both have 160gl reef tanks. A meeting would be great.

Tammy:razz:

[purplepolypeater]

[bullit67]

[dkcrx]

this weekend?
abby reefers welcome :biggrin:

Ya what room???

[zeddy]

the springs in mission has a pretty good brunch, or there's always roco's

[reef_junkies]

This sunday is a little bit too short of notice for us (6 kids) but booking the room at the Springs for sunday brunch sounds like a great idea, all we need is a few days notice, the 1st of Feb looks good for us or anytime after that.

Thanks
Darrin & Toreen

[belzebuth]

Wow so many people in Mission with reef tank. Would love to meet.
Andy

[reef_junkies]

so the springs is agreed then? This sun for brunch, say around 11am?:lol:

[purplepolypeater]

i work graveyard shift and do not wake up till mid day

[reef_junkies]

Ok no problem, so how does 1pm sound to everyone? I believe they have brunch at the Springs until 2pm.

[belzebuth]

This is a bit short notice for me....I have already other commitments.

[reef_junkies]

How does Sun Feb 15th OR 22nd at the Springs around 1pm? For everyone?:mrgreen:

[belzebuth]

The 22 would probably be better. The 15 been the valentine weekend...The pub would probably be packed.

I am in for the 22:smile::razz:

[reef_junkies]

Good call on the Valentine's thing, the 22nd is good for us too, if everyone else is able to make it?

[dkcrx]

I'll be on a plane home from Mexico.

[alfredshouse]

How about Sunday March the 1st then? This gives others a little bit more time to plan.

[Tangman]

I vote for Sunday Feb. 22

[alfredshouse]

Im in for Sunday the 22nd too

[belzebuth]

22 sounds good.

[purplepolypeater]

not easy.:lol:

[Whatigot]

no comment

[Tangman]

First off, Aren't you positive !
Second, purplepolypeater ,who works nights, IS going to try to make it.
And so big deal, we talked about it for a long time, at least we are trying to do it now, how about you ?
hahahaha...
Man, Mission sounds awesome.
It took you guys almost a year to actuate a meet, and when it finally comes to pass, the guy who initiated it can't make it....lol:lol:

I read this thread from page one and I gotta say, it just made me laugh out loud.

[reef_junkies]

Speaking of getting up on the wrong side of the REEF. Aren't we all supposed to try and be nice (even if we are from Coquitlam):lol:

[Whatigot]

I was being nice?
how was restating exactly what was in the thread not nice?
any senses of humour out there at all?


you know what>?
before I spill some milk everyone is gonna cry over, I'll edit my post for you all.
I would hate to break any eggshells.

[reef_junkies]

Just a mid-week reminder about the brunch at Mission Springs, this Sun the 22nd at 1pm. All are welcome!!!

Thanks
Darrin & Toreen
