North Alabama reef meeting

Avis · Sep 28, 2013

we all need to get together again to swap frags and equipment, one member wants to demo a algae scrubber DIY. We can use the body shop office again or anywhere we can swap frags, what date sounds good to you guys?

Sundays are best for me and I could probably meet any Sunday after 1pm. Saturdays would be hit or miss depending on football games.

H@rry · Sep 29, 2013

I'm just the opposite of Chris. Sundays are for family gatherings and NASCAR! Saturdays are good for me.

We can shoot for a saturday when your favorite team is not playing.
College football games presented challenges for club meetings in the past when we used to meet every month, but we managed to have meetings. I recall we started early and had a lunch together. When we did that once in Florence many years ago, people left like bats out of hell right after the meeting to be home in time for the Alabama game.

I could probably do Saturday October 12th or October 26th.

If that's Beaslbob, we need a big space for sure

Last time he demoed his boxless overflow contraption, he had to do it out in the open.

OMG, was that the one in 8Ball's driveway?

TrishW · Sep 29, 2013

Yes! I will attend whenever you decide to have it. I don't watch football or Nascar.

Saturday or Sunday anytime in October is good with me.

Rothgar · Sep 30, 2013

Just set the time and i'll be there!

joejoe1055 · Oct 1, 2013

Tomoko Schum · Oct 8, 2013

We need to settle on the date soon if we are going to meet.

What say you, Avis?

I agree! It's like a husband and wife trying to decide what is for dinner.

ChrisKey · Oct 9, 2013

How about next Saturday, October 19th? We can do lunch again or maybe some pot luck snacks/sides around lunch time.

Way to pull the trigger, Chris.

I actually have a house this time so I can bring something other than stuff from Walmart's deli.

ps - are you going to the FB group meeting this Sunday?

ChrisKey · Oct 9, 2013

I probably won't make it over to decatur for that meeting.

Tomoko Schum · Oct 9, 2013

I am fine with 19th or any other dates in October.
If Avis doesn't mind hosting us again in the shop, that will be great. A demo of a DIY algae scrubber and trading of frags can get a bit messy and I don't think any other shops or restaurants will appreciate that.
If we were to bring food to share, we need to get head counts and find out who is bringing what so we don't have too much of the same things.

By the way, speaking of trading frags, I am looking for a pink pompom xenia. After ousting them out of my 180, I am missing the pretty pink color of the good ol' pink pompom/pulsing xenia.

ChrisKey · Oct 9, 2013

I should have some good big ones for you. I am moving them to another tank so I hope they stay big and healthy, but I will see how they do and bring them.

Tomoko Schum · Oct 9, 2013

Thanks. Are you looking for anything in particular?

ChrisKey · Oct 9, 2013

Nothing in particular. Maybe some zoas or palys, but I wouldn't mind a snip of an SPS. I am down for just about anything.

I plan to bring a few things to trade including zoas, toadstool leathers and some other stuff.
