SBRS August 23, 2008 Frag Swap and Meeting

[DaveMorris]

The green paper frags work just as good as the colorful wet frags. Bring on your dead presidents.

Sorry you can't make it Marlin and Sue. Can't allways make 'em all. We will be talking about you during your absence. Just a quick reminder, Meeting this Saturday!

[VIC]

So it looks like a some corals, a blue linka, and an oscellaris will be included in the raffle. Not too sure yet what kind of corals. If someone wants to remove my neon green hairy mushroom it's yours, but just to let you know it's at the bottom of my tank on a rock that cannot be removed. If you can pull it off it's yours!

[vinny73]

I have an 8 polyp acan frag for the raffle.

[VIC]

So here's where it stands for food. Pancit, Pinoy-style Fried Rice, Lumpia, and Salt-n-Pepper Wings. It'd be cool if people could bring some desert and snack stuff. Also, if you want to make any mixed drinks, I'll have the blender, but you need to bring your own stuff to mix. I'll have some beer and sodas. Good to see the emails and other messages left that you'll be coming to the meeting. Should be a good one. Can't wait to see what Corals Gustavo is gonna be bringing for the frag swap!

[vinny73]

I think I am gonna offload all my acans tomorrow. Need a new coral to enjoy. I have about 5 different species and colors to choose from. 1 is a rainbow!

[treylane]

any locals have a pink lemonade frag they'd be willing to trade for either wet frags or green frags?

[Chanas4]

Sorry, none here. Good luck with that. Seems to be pretty sought after.

It was nice meeting some of you guys. I look forward to attending the next frag swaps.

[seahorse_man]

Great swap,good seeing you all again and meeting new people

[vinny73]

What a great turnout! Thanks to Bill Hiatt for his extraordinary presentation on the filtration method he has developed. So much great info was discussed that it's hard to pick a topic for what you discussed! Thank you to Custom Aquatics, SeaReef, Vic, and those who donated frags, fish and inverts. The trial run on the frag tank was not what I was hoping for but o well. Lesson learned. Hope everyone went home with full bellys, some great frags, and new friends. I also hope everyone got to see Vic's wonderful tank and his success with T5 lighting. Thank you for opening your home and providing such impeccable Hospitality. Thank you also to Channel 10 news for letting us show you our efforts to our hobby, environment, and our community.

Yeah, seeing my friend from Channel 10 bring all her video gear with her and filming our meeting was very cool! She said after she has a change to edit the footage taken that she will give us a DVD copy. It was funny seeing Gustavo's interview while being filmed. Ha ha haa! BTW, someone left a very nice chair. Please PM me if you are missing it. You need to describe it to me so that I know the right person is getting it (it's a quality folding chair). Thanks again everyone!
