July 2012 meeting

[TanksNStuff]

Thanks for hosting the meeting Karl. You and your wife (sorry I didn't catch her name) were very gracious and as Taz said it was another relaxing meeting. I felt very at home and really enjoyed watching your tank for a few hours. Awesome selection of fish and corals you have. I took a few pics with my phone so I'll try to get them up here sometime today.

I'd like to thank Don for letting me hitch a ride. That was a far one!

I'd also like to thank Mike (motortrendz) from Mainland Aquatics for supplying some really nice SPS frags for our raffle. I ended up winning 2 of them and they're looking great on my frag rack. I really need to find some room on my rocks, lol.

Also, was great chatting with Phil (Hawkeye), Bob (radiata) and Tristian (asonitez). All around great reefing conversation.

Hope to see everyone at the next one.

Thanks to both karl and michelle. Also have to thank the kids. Happy kids means possible future meetings. Unhappy kids means no way we're ever meeting there again! lol.

I also want to thank Karl for extending the invite to allow those under 16 to attend. My girls were very unhappy having to leave, especially when they really wanted some pool time!

I had to give in and make a run to the Garden State Plaza so they could get on that carousel!

I'm sorry I couldn't be there but I sent some of my best pieces in my place. Hope you all enjoyed the frags and hope to be at the next one.

Please also whoever won the frags please post pics in my forum and let's keep some progress pics on them. These were all original frags from colonies I imported from Jakarta and honestly this was one of my nicest shipments yet.

Yeah, we have to get the kids together again - they had a great time. Your daughter is quite a character! She's like a little ringleader

Here's a few pics I took of Karl's tank... keep in mind, these are just quickies taken with my cell phone.













*EDIT* Sorry, moved the pics to a different folder and broke the links... fixed now.

Awesome meeting. Thanks for the constructive discussion on what else.. LED's lol. Thanks To HerbieK for giving a honest no b/s opinion about his experience with LED's so far. Also thanks for the frags.

Mainland - thanks for the frags I ended up winning 2 on 9 tickets. Not a bad investment! - The 2 I won look very nice and are doing great in my frag tank. I can't wait for them to show some signs of encrusting before I move them into the main tank under the halides. These are my first Jakartian corals I think lol. I will also have to make a trip and checkout your operation.

I was happy to hear that there has been some positive movement in the FragSwap 2012. 4 Months away will go pretty fast.
