I think if we put enough pressure on Jack, we can have a meeting in December or January and get to see his new setup.

pm or email jack and lets "get it on"

Does Jack have a place to host the meeting? Or do we just not care? Somebody post his address and we'll be there!! :razz:

Jack
11-24-2003, 07:08 AM
Should have the new 60g setup going in a bit. Still got a bit to go.


Whats the feedback from everyone? Lets set something up!

I can host something but I'm just in a basement suite. 2 mins from J&L though and a few local reefers :wink:

Aquattro
11-24-2003, 07:10 AM
Sure, when's good for you? How many people fit in your house? :razz:

Jack
11-24-2003, 07:12 AM
I don't know when the meeting will be. I'd want my tank up and running so that people have something to look at :rolleyes:

I could probably host a small army.

60G?? :razz:

LostMind
11-24-2003, 06:01 PM
If you are only 2 mins from JL, you are only about 5-10 mins from me :)

Jason McK

How about a Frag Trade at the same Time. BYOC (bing your own container)

Count me in :biggrin:

I will have a half dozen corky finger gorgonian frags as well.

Jack, you could also put some pressure on Wendell to have it at the store if you need more room :razz: , , as the last meeting he held was a great turnout :wink:

Chad
11-24-2003, 07:23 PM
I am willing to go if we can actualy get one to "go" :confused: :biggrin:

Chad

christyf5
11-24-2003, 07:24 PM
I'm in. :mrgreen:

Maybe we should have it at your place Chad :razz:

Seth
11-24-2003, 11:27 PM

I'll be there if the day is right :biggrin:

Jack
11-26-2003, 07:52 AM
Right on. We're actually getting replys.

Seems the Vancouver forum gets ignored but yet our reef scene dominates that of our partners out west :wink: :lol: J/K

Anyways, I'm definatly in for a frag swap too. Let me get the 60g reef tank going... :mrgreen:



Whats everyone think, before or after Christmas? I really don't care but opinions are good.. we want a good turn out.

Let me know what you guys want. Throw out ideas and I'll try and make it happen, or PM me.

Christy, I could pick you up if you want to save a few bucks. OA is right by there. Same goes for you Brad.

I'll get a construction thread going on the 60g shortly!

Thanks.

LostMind
11-26-2003, 04:16 PM
when? I don't care personally... but maybe before xmas is good, so I can add some things to my xmas list for santa? :)

Chad
11-26-2003, 04:32 PM
Before Christmas would be good for me.. or after.. I'm flexiable :biggrin:

Chad

Jason McK
11-27-2003, 08:48 PM
I think it would be great if people could bring some Frags for trade or sale.
As for a date I'm really easy. When every you feel you want people in our house :lol: and when your 60 is up.

J

smokinreefer
11-28-2003, 02:45 AM
i can probably stop by, seeing how i'm practically around the corner from you!! just let me know when.

heh, more like you need the 60 up and runnign so everyone stopping by can drop some frags in there for ya! :lol:

I'll be the one wearing the disguise :biggrin: . Let me know where and when and I'll see if it fits into my schedule.

LostMind
12-03-2003, 08:01 AM
yah, where is this going? Any tentative times yet? :)

I'd offer to host it, but my house is going thru reno's and my tank is nothing to look at since its pretty young!

robbyville
12-04-2003, 01:12 AM
I could host in Whistler as a road trip, I have a couch, chair and an aquarium!

Man, we're never gonna get to 11 pages if we don't start yakking more!! :razz:

LostMind
12-04-2003, 06:18 PM
11 pages? I thought we were aiming for a meeting?

I must be missing an inside joke here.... :)

Son Of Skyline
12-04-2003, 06:45 PM
Have we actually figured out when/where we're going to do this?

Aquattro
12-04-2003, 06:55 PM
I thought Jack was hosting when his tank was up and running. And getting a 60 up and running should take a week, tops! Maybe Wendell makes him work too hard? :razz:

christyf5
12-04-2003, 08:17 PM
Check out the edmonton forum. They've been chatting about a meeting forever :razz:

Son Of Skyline

robbyville
12-05-2003, 12:44 AM
This is after all the 21st century. Perhaps we can have a video conference instead :lol:

I wish there was transporters..... imagine skipping the rush hour traffic!

Ok, back on topic - when we meeting :)

zulu_principle
12-05-2003, 05:11 AM
I just love the bashing.

How many of those that bash the meeting idea have held a meeting ?


Wendell :mrgreen:

Jason McK
12-05-2003, 05:18 AM
All I know is it would really be nice to put some faces to names and be able to say hi to people when in OA or the LFS.

Jason

Aquattro
12-05-2003, 05:21 AM
I just love the bashing.



Did I miss a good bashing?? Where? Where??

StirCrazy

I just love the bashing.

Wendell :mrgreen:

and I wasn't invited? :neutral:

Steve

LostMind
12-05-2003, 05:32 AM
well, in a few more months I'll offer to host a meeting :)

Once my reno's are done and such. But I dunno how many people will make it out to port moody, even tho it isnt that far away...

Jack
12-05-2003, 09:20 AM
Meeting is still a go. Trying to figure out what to do during the meeting....

I assume frag trading with tank and LFS tours spark intrest.

I need ideas! :neutral:

props
12-06-2003, 05:44 AM
that'd be kool
do a tank talk for couple hours are your place
then tour all fish stores
ie. jl hidden reef king ed big al wendells
then go back to your place for some food!!!!then home
=o)

ganowicki
12-06-2003, 06:11 AM
there sure seems to be a lot of nothing said. :lol: I'll get the ball rolling. how does Saturday, Dec 13th sound?? I can come across then (that is if the ferries are running) :evil:

Bodhi
12-06-2003, 10:42 AM
me too :biggrin:

martym
12-06-2003, 12:25 PM
I'm good to go for the 13th :biggrin:

Chad
12-06-2003, 03:55 PM
Thats fine with me.. but is Jack going to have his tank setup by then?

Chad

Jason McK
12-06-2003, 04:07 PM
He just might. From what I heard he maybe wet testing today if he has time.


J

Jack
12-07-2003, 01:28 AM
Yep, the wet testing is going okay. I'm only 3/4 full on the tank so far but the sump is full. Wish burnabys water pressure was higher. My rodi is slow as molasses. :rolleyes:

EmilyB
12-07-2003, 01:50 AM
oh my...we are wet testing the same nite Jack..... :mrgreen: :razz:

Jack
12-07-2003, 09:55 PM
It's a sign. :lol:

I'm good to go for the 13th

I definately can't make it that day.

:neutral:

Jack
12-08-2003, 04:12 AM
I'm not gonna have it on that day. That was gord getting excited. :razz: :lol:

Are you going to come? I'll give you a call soon.

Aquattro
12-08-2003, 04:20 AM
Jack, I'm planning on it, but depends on the day.

ron101
12-10-2003, 04:34 AM
Not to rain on the parade but I think there will be BC Ferry issues for the next while. Island reefers may be left out or worse, stranded on the mainland. Since I have the unfortunate privilege of working for this outfit I can attest to the magnitude of the gong show :evil: , might be an idea to put the meeting on the back burner till things clear up.

Sounds like Jack needs some time to buff up his show tank anyhow...

Aquattro
12-10-2003, 04:50 AM
Good idea Ron, I'd hate to get stuck over there. My boss wouldn't be happy!

Samw
12-10-2003, 05:36 AM
There are still helicopters right? Aren't they cheaper?
:evil:

Jack
12-10-2003, 05:36 AM
Sounds good to me guys. We'll see how the ferries go. I was thinking mid January.

Aquattro
12-10-2003, 05:52 AM
There are still helicopters right? Aren't they cheaper?
:evil:

Not if I have to get them to airlift my van!!!

props
12-10-2003, 06:49 AM
yeah mid jan would be good!!
by then ur tank will be all cycled and ready for corals
also this 13th is bad got work n xmas party
i guess that includes two other guys that works with the same company

Jack
12-10-2003, 06:55 AM
Ya no worries Jesse we'll have it in about a month. See you Sunday anyways and we can talk about it.

Anyone close to J&L that would like to show off thier tank for the meeting? I know a few of you reefers that are but I won't offer for you :wink: Just trying to get a tour together.

smokinreefer
12-14-2003, 05:57 PM
who might you be referring jack?!?! :lol:

well, i am near by JL and even closer to jack...

but heres the deal...
a move for me is in my future...i dont know when, but i know its coming...
and i wont be setting my 180 up after the move... i may get out of the hobby for a bit, or a downgrade...and i'm leaning towards a downgrade :mrgreen:

if you are all interested... and want to see my tank while it still looks like a reef, you are all more than welcome to come to my place, or stop by here on a tank tour, for a meet & greet, tank setup q&a session and frag/colony sale. provided the meeting happens in january.

if there is enough interest, i can definitely hold off on the slow dissmantling of my system...something i dont want to do anyway...as i feel my tank is just really starting to come together now.

but i'll throw this offer out there, since everyone seems to be leaning towards a january meeting.

sumpfinfishe
12-14-2003, 06:19 PM
:eek: What do you mean Shao?

Still waiting for my reef visit :mrgreen:

smokinreefer
12-14-2003, 06:28 PM
well heres the story...
before we got married, my wife and i were renting, we then moved here, to my parents basement to save money, so now we are looking for a place to call our own.

dont worry rich, i'll definitely get you over before the teardown...just thought this upcoming meeting would be a perfect venue to see my tank before it comes down...i've been pretty busy the last while and its alot easier and convenient for everyone to come by at the same time.

p.s. that cap frag i have for you is turning into a nice little colony! :mrgreen:

Scales
12-16-2003, 01:00 AM
Having just been to Shao's (for a very nice acro frag...thanks pal), I can say his system is looking great....so we should take him up on his offer before it is too late...

Son Of Skyline
12-16-2003, 04:59 PM
I second Shao's offer to host :mrgreen:

sumpfinfishe
12-20-2003, 05:06 PM
Shao,
O.K. that's better :biggrin: , thought you were packing up and leaving the hobby because you are sick and tired of all the crazy reefers pestering you for frags and to view your tank :mrgreen:

I can't wait to drop by and have a gaze :multi:

Did you say Cap colony :eek: :cool:

Jack
12-21-2003, 09:47 AM
Shao, thats a generous offer. You sure youre up for it?

robbyville
12-21-2003, 10:21 PM
I can tell you that would definitely work for me, especially if Shao is still holding those blue tips for me!

Rob

where and what time are we meeting?

smokinreefer
01-05-2004, 06:31 PM
undecided as of now...
i'll touch base with jack and let you guys know exactly what the deal will be...

we were thinking of stopping at his place and my place... we live nearby... and its no problem for me to set up a holding tank for those of you wanting to swap/buy/sell frags.

just to give you guys an idea of where we will be, here is my address...
584 calvin court, north burnaby

and i'll say noonish for now.

Jack
01-05-2004, 06:39 PM
Yup, I'm just down the street from Shao.

We'll make a holding tank so bring lots of frags to trade. :mrgreen:

Son Of Skyline
01-06-2004, 05:45 PM
I'm in. I've got a frag for Christy and I'll bring digi frags and just leave them there for whoever wants them :smile:

sumpfinfishe
01-06-2004, 07:57 PM
Due to Christy and Doug, there will only be one frag of corky finger that is unspoken for. At this rate i will be showing up empty handed.

Wendell, I haven't forgotten about the frag glue either :wink:

Shao, do you still have my cap colony by chance :mrgreen:

BCOrchidGuy
01-06-2004, 09:05 PM
I'm interested in any small frags anyone has of ANYTHING that likes alot of light. My 26 gallon bow looks really.. (cries) bare...

Doug

martym
01-07-2004, 01:58 AM
I've got 3 green digiata's and 2 that look pink in my lights as well as 2 ( I think they are SPS) that aren't doing anything in my tank, and 1 tree from Mak that broke into 2. So a total of 8. Nothing that is large.

smokinreefer
01-07-2004, 02:03 AM
well i will be able to frag a lot, but not all, of the stuff from my tank.

rich, are you sure you dont want me to grow it more for ya first?!?! :lol:

and i'm always looking for frags of stuff i dont have already...so keep em coming guys!

christyf5
01-07-2004, 02:23 AM
Shao, I'd still likel need a frag of that blue tip stag you were selling before. Will you have some of that for me?

Christy :)

01-07-2004, 03:55 AM
heh, ive fragged that thing down a lot already...
but i will certainly have some for whomever wants some...
that is one colony that grew nicey where it was, but would look weird if moved to another spot...
so i plan on saving a frag of it, and move it to another spot to grow out again, whether that is a new tank or not, i dunno yet.

Jason McK
01-07-2004, 04:11 AM
So Have we nailed a time and firmed up the location, or is it still pending.

J

sumpfinfishe
01-07-2004, 04:56 AM
Yes, a firm time and local would be nice for those of us who are on holiday's and need to make plans :mrgreen:

I guess that Jesse has taken the last frag, so it looks like I'll be showing up with no frags now as there all spoken for.

Shao, have a peak at my tank and see if there's anything in there you might want, or are you just going to charge me by how much Kalk that suckers soaked up in the last few months :wink:

Getting back to the meet, after we visit Shao's will we be heading to Jack's or to J&L's?

Christy, you have even more PM :biggrin:

Brad, are you driving over or do you need a pick up?, as I owe ya a free shuttle :mrgreen:

Namscam
01-07-2004, 05:04 AM
I dont have any frags for trade or to bring for my tank is very new, and have practically nothing in it, but i would like to buy some frags to make my tank better..Can i come too???This would be my first meeting

Aquattro
01-07-2004, 05:08 AM
Brad, are you driving over or do you need a pick up?, as I owe ya a free shuttle :mrgreen:

Rich, I'm coming over Saturday, but thanks. I recall I have a scroll frag for you. I also have a bbg frag for Sam. I'll bring over a couple of cap frags, and some small acro maybe. Also a pink birdsnest or two.

sumpfinfishe
01-07-2004, 05:24 AM
All are welcome Namscam, no invite needed for these meetings:biggrin:
that is, unless your part of the "Tang Police" :razz: :biggrin:

Brad, I can't believe you remembered-that's awesome, the only problem is the green sps frag that you wanted isn't quite ready for cutting just yet :sad: Will you take something else for it :question:
Also that cap that your bringing over, that wouldn't be some of that special edition Island stuff would it :mrgreen:

I can take Sam's if he can't make it :razz:

Aquattro
01-07-2004, 05:26 AM
Rich, the frag isn't large, but it was the only piece that broke off. It's been mounted for a couple of months now.
The cap is just the plain old orange variety.
Sam might object to his bubblegum frag going to a different home!

StirCrazy
01-07-2004, 01:08 PM

Jack
01-07-2004, 07:55 PM
Spoke with Allan. They won't mind if a swarm of us come in the store (J&L) Althought they won't have any new stock due to the shipping/collecting status right now ect.

People are welcome to drop by my place too. Just a stone throw from Shao's place.

You need frags :eek: , where is your place of employment again- oh yeah- don't you have a few frags lying around your office :mrgreen:

Pizza sounds good, we could figure that out by the end of Shao's and then have it delivered to Jack's place, so I guess the reef meet is gonna be put on hold as this meet will be about what toppings everyone wants :biggrin:

Hi all,

Well not to be a tick in the mud, but APPARENTLY the 11th is my wife's Birthday! Who would have known!

So sadly I will not be able to attend, and believe me, I very much would like to meet everyone. Life as an (aquarium) reefer ( :lol: ) is extremely lonely here in Whistler BC.

The only positive aspect is that I could have the ugliest tank around and nobody would ever know it since they know no better and like to come and watch the fish and corals with their kids!

Have a great time on Sunday! If I can convince Patty to forego football and celebrations I will be there.

Robby, just take her out for a super meal on Saturday, buy her flowers etc, tell her that you could only get reservations for Saturday. Get her booked into a Spa in Vancouver for a day treatment, then you can kill the day......

I second the spa thing. My Fiancee goes nuts for a trip to the spa. There is something about getting a massage, having someone do her nails and then relaxing in a hot tub that makes her happy.

And, of course, I am happy as I have a free day to geek out :)

Well, as my first three frags that I planned on bringing to the meeting were snatched up already, I did some more cutting and glueing this morning :rolleyes:

I will now be bringing four single baby crowns of green frogspawn that are mounted, also two frags of green digitata.

Maybe I can arrive with something in my bucket this time :mrgreen:

There's a picture of the bud's or now crowns in this link http://www.canreef.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5778&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=frogspawning

Please count me in! This seems like a good chance to meet everyone :razz:
I won't have any frags to trade though b/c I only have a puny 10g nano :sad:
Hence I fit in the "looking for frags" category and I'm interested in frags of anything :exclaim:

I've got a 10g nano too. My usual 'hangout' is nano-reef.com but not many ppl from vancouver on there. Nano's rule!

BTW, I'm looking for frags too. The smaller the better . . in particula small sps and zoo frags and shrooms . . although I'll give anything a shot if it fits in my tank ;)

Is anyone bringing some frags that wont be traded because I m sure there are other ppl out there that will be coming to aquire some frags(myself included).. Since I m a noob and do not know the names of most of the species, hence I can not ask for specific frags, but if I see something nice there, I would be wanting it

I've got 4 5.5 gallon tanks, a couple have been drilled for 1/2 in bulkheads. They'd make great refugiums for a nano tank. Swap a frag or $10 each.. I've also got a 15 gallon tank (short) that's been drilled and has a 1/2 in bulkhead, couple frags or $20

let me know if anyone's interested.

Good, I've got a drill bit for glass that drills nice 1/2 inch holes let me know if you want to borrow it sometime, I can't bring the bit tomorrow but I can dig it out next week. I got it in Surrey from a glass shop, they gave me some cutting compound, it actually works really well as long as you've got a drill press and some patience.
