Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Definately a good meeting! Plus the bonus of not a long drive for me :)
We gained a member or two, and Jeff, a BIG thank you..
Phyl, I managed to save one pic.. hmmmm
Hanover is going down because the management keeps firing the good people. I know, I got fired.. I know alot of the BS that went on, and it really started to take its toll on a shop that had an awesome reputation..
Just keeping regular shipments coming in was becoming a problem, though we at...
Glad to hear both are alive and well! That little guy was LITTLE! He would been beaten up by my lady for sure!
My little guy is in a 5.5 with my sexy shrimp, gotta remove the WSM male before I try to introduce him to my GSM female...
Actually, Rich, thats the norm... Old hosts help the new ones.. Kinda like passing the torch.. I talked alot this weekend with Kelly (Anthony's g/f), her club hosted 3 MACNA's already, and it really comes down to being 6-8 SERIOUS planners.. It's not terribly difficult, and MASNA also helps out...

I think Phyl was like a kid in a candy store. All the vendors...
For some of us, the pics tend to be the memories... LOL... lots of alcohol was consumed, do not forget that aspect...

I brought my camera and took TWO friggin pics! DOH!@ I am so horrible with that...
I drip anyway, do you use a refractometer? My bag was 1.025, my system here 1.024 (refractometer calibrated with RO/DI last week).. The pH was more of a concern for me, my lights are on, pH is higher, the bags were dark for 6 hours, pH is lower...
My little guy seems to be missing both cheek...
Definately a fun weekend....
You know the partiers are SERIOUS when they bring their OWN blender! LOL....
FYI Phyl, Thats Anth's g/f Kelly, he's not married yet! LOL
I enjoyed the weekend quite a bit, and it felt like I was being tugged in every possible direction.. Between the NJRC in...
No bioballs for me in a reef (notice there wasn't a single bioball in my house?)
Nitrate factories for sure.. Rock rubble can do the same thing. Key point here is the exposure to AIR.
I've done every reef with live sand, and my 300g (1200g system) relies on good skimming, lots of good rock...
