When my build is done I will host a "My Gawd there is finally water in the f*cking thing" themed frag swap/club meet at my place. Don't hold your breath though waiting for the day. Someone else is gonna have to step up for something sooner. I vote for Brett's house. He doesn't even need to be there. Or John's house. In John's case it might be better if he's NOT there. I think I heard he liked growing things out from 1" frags though, so as long as we leave 1" of frags in his tank, it should be an epic win all around.

Years ago we had enough people in the "Calgary Canreef club" to host monthly get togethers. I don't know why it's so hard this time around to get that same momentum going. Keep trying I guess, it should eventually stick, I think.

I would love to come to an event you host Tony, but I may be six feet under by then!!!

My thoughts on this,

it would be great to get folks together, however we all deal with this thing called 'Life' and it seems to get in the way a lot.
Maybe try to get a few people that you know will definitely show up, pick a location and start with that, post on here and start a discussion, chances are a couple more than you originally thought will show up just to see whats going on. Couple weeks later do it all again, maybe more will show (or not) but keep it simple, don't set expectations too high, these things have to grow themselves.

Kevin at Red Coral had mentioned that they put a tank in a pub somewhere up in the NW, maybe that would be a great place for the first couple get togethers (or we could all hang out in the basement at Teatro, sure John wouldn't mind that at all, right?)

I think the tank is at the World Health Club. Very nice tank and good meeting place.

If that's right then I agree with Coleus; it'd be a nice spot to meet.
