I will be bringing some beer, my chair, and Some nice Cats Paw frags. The frags are like 3". I will also have some nice pink w/ blue polyp birdsnest frags.
I am looking for some Atlantis Montipora frags, Bonsai frags, and a Becker Tort frag.
SDA619, we would love to have you attend. Caution though..... you might like it and wanna come back again and again and again! The floor is open for topics of discussion! If someone would like to share, please speak up!

[vinny73]

Hey Dave, you should see the front yard now! Use a little Ironite and alot of water and the grass just brightens up and fills right in those little spots! If you need any help, just hit me up. I can bring the frag tank over thursday or friday. Whatever works best for you. We can get it setup and get it cycling. Thanks again for hosting Dave!

[Redeye]

Sorry guys, can't make this one (was looking forward to seeing daves tank)
Getting married day before!

[vinny73]

Congradulations! I think you will be having more fun than us as our meeting! Bring the bride to the next meeting and bring some pics!

[marineman1978]

cool. I look forward to seeing you all there. what kind of beer should I bring? I like guiness.. or corona... any suggestions?

[vinny73]

Corona for me, Heineken for Harold, Bud Light for Matt. JK, If you bring Guiness, I won't be stealing your beer! Most importantly, bring a chair and your reefing knowledge to share!

[marineman1978]

ha ha ha. guiness it is J/K. I'll bring some corona's and heinie's.... I guess I'm the only one that drinks guiness???

[DaveMorris]

Guiness is one of the few real man's beers. Do not bring any food. That will be taken care of.

Vinny...No amount of ironite is gonna help my backyard!

[coral diver]

Sorry guys, can't make this one (was looking forward to seeing daves tank)
Getting married day before!
:eek: Another One Bites The Dust But seriusly congratulation Man enjoy the married life like we are having now :D :cool:

[seahorse_man]

Guiness is one of the few real man's beers. Do not bring any food. That will be taken care of.

Vinny...No amount of ironite is gonna help my backyard!

So you don't want me to brings snacks again:confused:

[djleyo]

missed the last one because of my car
this time i wont miss this for the world !!! thanks Dave for hosting
ill bring beer and some questions :)

[Chanas4]

:D Oh lordy, timing is great. Right after payday, right after new raise, 8 hours of OT so far...Hubby says we have to go, and I of course am ever so obedient. Hubby only drinks Ales so thats what we are bringing, with sodas for me. I hope someone brings some good Zoos. I have a little bit of chaeto, one tiny frogspawn frag and a little piece of xenia if anyone wants it for free.

[DaveMorris]

You may bring snacks if you would like to, but rest assured, there will be no shortage of good food to eat. As far as my tank goes...don't get your hopes up too high. I'm not very happy with it right now. It's not much to look at, IMHO.

[SolRo]

anyone got some interceptor they could bring to the meeting? can pay or trade phyto

[SDguy]

Woops. That's a Sunday, not Saturday. :( I may not make this one...I'll see how I can rearrange my plans.....

[barometer]

ARG! Why are the meetings and frag swaps always on days and times that I can't make it? :( I'm gonna see what I can do to rework the schedule for this one, fingers crossed

[marineman1978]

any guiness drinkers??? Peter, Ed you gotta make it!!!

[h20poloman]

I should be able to make this one...it will be a reef weekend with RAP being the day before. Good thing my g/f enjoys the hobby

[seahorse_man]

Would anybody want a frag if I bring them?

http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w302/seahores_man/DSCN0210.jpg

[vinny73]

Allways down for frags Jordan!

[SolRo]

I wont be able to make it next week unfortunatly, got family comming from europe and we going down to mexico that weekend.

[Chanas4]

Would anybody want a frag if I bring them?

http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w302/seahores_man/DSCN0210.jpg

I would

[barometer]

Are those the same as the ring of fire zoaz that Galeepley had for sale?

[seahorse_man]

I'm the reason they have them.When we were friends I broke myself and them a piece off.They are taken under different lighting(looks like actinic)

Kind of funny how much they are trying to make off them for the price they paid.

[barometer]

Darnit, now I really wish I was coming to this.....and to Bogg's. But alas, my wife and kid must come first and plans have already been made. I'll make it to one of these meetings one of these days :o

[marineman1978]

I understand how that goes. gotta take care of the family.

[Galeepley]

I'm the reason they have them.When we were friends I broke myself and them a piece off.They are taken under different lighting(looks like actinic)

Kind of funny how much they are trying to make off them for the price they paid.


Yes it is true, you did break those off, but unlike you, we actually paid for them. Jordan, why don't you get a life and stop trying to cause problems all the time.

[seahorse_man]

O.K I don't want to get into it wit you lets not ruin this thread I didn't say you didn't pay for them,I simply said ''for the price they paid for them''.Also I paid for them I have never and never will take something from that store with out paying unless Ron oks it.I'm not trying to start trouble I just answered Ed's ?.

So I'm going to be the mature one and not say anything or post anything about this again.

[Galeepley]

Well you shouldn't have started in the first place.

[seahorse_man]

Ed are you coming to this?

[barometer]

Sorry Jordan, I can't make it this time. :( I tried, I hope next time.

[marineman1978]

alrighty then....

that sucks Ed, no reef-o-palooza either? thats a must.

[barometer]

alrighty then....

that sucks Ed, no reef-o-palooza either? thats a must.

Oh I'll be at reef-a-palooza. Nothing is keeping me from that. Can't wait, WOOHOO! :D
Since I had so much advanced notice I was able to swing it and even save some cash to spend. I think I'll be broke after the show anyway, so I won't be able to give you guys any of my money the day after. ;)

[vinny73]

Next meeting will be all 3 groups together at fiesta island! I have a guest speaker who is a Marine Biologist at SDSU. Her main focus is on Bacterial and viral infections. She also has a coral club that she started and will be inviting us all to their group! Here's your notice Barometer! Don't miss this one! This will be a family affair so bring the kids, sandcastle making tools, chairs and coolers! I am in the process of making an agenda for the September meeting so stay posted! Thanks, Vinny

[barometer]

SWEET! :D Family invited and lots of notice.....now this I think I can manage. Fiesta Island, eh? Dogs invited as well?

[SDguy]

Alright, check it out!! Almost done with the logo/banner. Still playing with text font/color. Need to get that t-shirt printing shop info from you Vinny....

[barometer]

Nice Work Peter. A biologist and an artist, that's pretty cool. I love doing logo work when I'm not doing 3D, you've got a good eye. That's a great design with the fish made of coral :)

[SDguy]

Thanks! Biochem major and VA minor. I know, weird, eh? :) Was a PITA to draw out the coral since the original image I used for the idea was so low res.

[marineman1978]

that is sweet Peter! I LIKE!!!!

[victortrav]

i will be there and vinny me you jojo and mike need to do like a conference call get some balls rolling

[mmoore0803]

HA! Vic said "balls" :D

We need to set a date so I can put it on the calendar

[seahorse_man]

Peter that is good.

[vinny73]

i will be there and vinny me you jojo and mike need to do like a conference call get some balls rolling
I agree! we do need to get the balls rollin'! I personally would like to do a frag swap! I heard...... someone else didn't want to!!!!!! I want this to be a family affair but I also want to go home with some killer frags and trade some as well!!! Our guest speaker is such an easy person to listen to! She is interested in obtaining some frags from us to study! Her current subject is Porites. I have been haveing a problem with a GARF Montipora and she suggested some things for me to try. Success may be in my vocabulary if I arrested it in time! If all of you decide not to do a frag swap, I hope that all of you at least have a great time and agree to do this and a frag swap at another time. South Bay Reef Society has their own frag tank setup and a generator is available from one of our members. The preservation of the world we love, is in need of help. I know that in my lifetime, several beautiful species will only exist because of the home aquarist. I know people have talked **** because of the SBRC meetings..... trying to draw a crowd with a frag swap. Well................... Yes we are trying to draw a crowd with a frag swap!!!!!!!! I want several people to have a piece of my favorite corals and hope they enjoy them as much as I do!!!! And eventually frag them for a friend of theirs who they have sponsored in this hobby!! PRESERVATION!!!!!!!!!! IT'S UP TO US!

[SDguy]

I know people have talked **** because of the SBRC meetings..... trying to draw a crowd with a frag swap. Well................... Yes we are trying to draw a crowd with a frag swap!!!!!!!!

That's unfortunate to hear.

What's wrong with that? Attracting people to meetings with speakers, demonstrations, frag swaps, information, food, beer :D I see nothing wrong with any of it.

So to be clear...there will be a frag swap on Aug. 19th, but still up in the air for the 3 group September meeting?

[rollinghead]

Vinny, hey brother! Some people were (I think) put here on this earth to bi*ch, and they do a very good job! Because of all the groups here in SD I feel that their will be many in the future that can feel pride of ownership and maintain a reef tank, because of people that care! I know U care brotherman because U give frags away all the time! U bring a dremel to every frag swap! So if people that R not so fortunate to make $50,000 and up want to have a part of the ocean (because if they don't make 50k in SD god knows they can't afford to go to the beach) in their livingroom, then maybe U guys R doing your calling in life, and don't even know it! :D Thanks for all U guys do! ;)

[Jas0863]

Well U all what that they're many that lack the 6th sense. The hobbyists are the ones that benefit from the swap and with the shared overall knowledge and experience of the members, you can only become a better hobbyists, far less painful than most of yesteryear. IMO, SB Reef Society is a organization that provides the maps and vehicles for individuals to acquire and maintain successful diverse marine aquariums. Take that to the bank.

[vinny73]

That's unfortunate to hear.

Ya know Peter, I will bring the frag tank and I will be bringing frags too for the 3 group meeting. If people don't wanna participate, so be it. I totally agree with what you say Jasper, ALL of YOU FOLKS help in my success! And TIM, I like giving away frags cause I just am that type of personallity. So many have given me things for free too. So tim......Superman?:rolleyes:

[marineman1978]

i have yet to meet you Vinny but it seems like you are a kick ass person. People like you is what keeps me here. Keep up the good work. I look forward to meeting you at Daves next sunday.

[victortrav]

hey vinny thank you for setting up that speaker for next month definitely going to be a blow out also i want to put out a request to anyone that has an old tank that can be used as a frag tank for those that would like to do a frag swap at the sept meeting let me mike and or vinny know
victor

[seahorse_man]

So there will be a swap the 19th:confused:

[DaveMorris]

"So there will be a swap the 19th:confused:"

The meeting on the 19th of August is a regular meeting with frag swap. The other notes were talking about doing a frag swap at the three club meeting in September.

[seahorse_man]

Ok cool thanks

[victortrav]

i think there should be a swap at the sept meeting and bbq grills going and maybe a mime or 2 to throw rocks at (sorry if there are any mimes here) i was looking for temp frag tanks for just this purpose there is already a line on a generator

[vinny73]

I do believe that we really need to look into a chiller as well!

[DaveMorris]

Do we have a chiller for this Sunday?? We will probably need it.

[djleyo]

anyone have coralife power center for sale ??

[seahorse_man]

Two ?'s:

#1-Who is going to the swap?
#2-What are you bringing?

[DaveMorris]

I'll be there and I'm bringing my house.

[vinny73]

I am bringing some cats paw frags, a pink birdsnest frag, and maybe some other things too.

[Chanas4]

I look forward to the frag swaps more than anything. Evenmore so if I have money :D Hubby isnt into the hobby but he loves the frag swaps. He is the one pushes me to go because he doesnt want to miss the swap. I think I might not even go if it werent for the swap.

[seahorse_man]

Chanas4,
Do you want me to bring that zoa frag?I have 1 left because Ed picked his up last night.

[Chanas4]

yes please

[vinny73]

I would like to remind people to bring their chairs, Frags, Cash, Beer, and stories! I would also like to ask people to bring their containers of dry food that they use. We will be discussing why we like the particular foods we use and I will be doing a demonstration on the way I make food and what I put in it. There will be an open forum at the end of the meeting to discuss particular concerns people may have with their tanks and any cool discoveries/breakthru's you have come across! Can't wait til tomorrow! What a weekend! My Family and I are gonna make a day trip up to Venice Beach and go check out all the freaky deekys people and then hit the reefapalooza event on the way back! Then tomorrow, I get to hang with you folks! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Vinny.

BOD meeting at 11am!!!!!!!

[socalreefer73]

Blue Ric sounds very interesting!

[Jessy]

I think you can see it in this pic. Its the fuzzy one on the right. I have 2 others, so I'm trying to thin the stock. I'm also thinking about bringing one of my 4 orange rics.....just a baby though. I'll see if I have the heart in the morning. ;) :p

[snyder2050]

We would like to come tomorrow. We haven't been yet but we a lot of frags(sps, zoas,blastos,frogspawn) We're just wondering what to bring and how much cause we don't want to impose and take up too much room.

[DaveMorris]

Bring it on. That's what a swap is for!

[snyder2050]

ok cool. See you tomorrow.:D

[vinny73]

Bring one, bring all! I'll bring the dremel!!!!!! T-Minus 3hours!

[marineman1978]

The meeting was awesome! Thanks Dave for hosting and Vinny for showing us the "Magic-a-la-Vinny" recipe. Dude, no crap, I put some of the food you gave us in the tank and It was like an automatic party starter. Everyone was going nuts. The shrimp were in the corner doing the MC Hammer dance! I gave a chunk to the BTA and I swear after he ate it he looked like he was smiling:) No BS really smiling. Man, what a great dude to show us all how to make it! Peter, I'll keep you posted on the monti, and Jas thanks for the Confusious frag. It a stunner under the atinics! It was definately nice hanging with everyone that was talking my language. GOOD SHOW:D

[SDguy]

Glad I could spread my cap around...hope some lives!

[DaveMorris]

Thanks everyone for coming by. My home is always open to you. Glad everyone had a good time.

[IZON]

That was my first meeting with SBRS and it was great. Thank you Dave for hosting. All the food was delicious. My fish is even happier with the food that vinnie made up. Compliments to all the chefs.
It was nice meeting every one and thanks for the frag Jasper.

[seahorse_man]

Great meeting as always:D Thank you Vinny for the kalk. and us how to make your food.

Thank you again Dave for letting us use your place and sharing that delicious feast with us.

[snyder2050]

Thanks everyone that was a great meeting we'll try to make it for future meetings. Got some great frags and enjoyed the demo and our tank enjoyed the demo outcome:D

[Jas0863]

It was great seeing you all and some long lost faces; Vin, thanks for the demo. on Marine Food processing; Dave, thanks to you and wife for opening your home to hosting.

[Jessy]

Thanks for the great time everyone. And thanks to all who helped me clean out my tank some. Jordan especially, I really didn't want to take that rock home. And an additional after benefit for you....

I brought home some of that fishy food and thought about how to serve it in my 24gal efficiently...well I had an idea. When I was a kid I used to make tiny ice cubes out of my dads bullet trays (he's a cop). So I called him up and asked him to send me some. He's sending me about 6 or so to begin with. If I thaw the mush and put it in these little trays, I should be able to feed the 1/2 cube amount of the homemade fish food without a problem. Anyone else need a way to make smaller fish cubes for your tank? I'll have extra trays I'm sure.

[seahorse_man]

If you want I have 2 you can have now,all you have to do is pick them up.
