I was wondering if someone has some spare easy frags to donate to Tank for Teachers (Beach Elementary). I’ll bring a baby maxi-mini for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Yeah - that was wall to wall reefers today. Jeff went way out of his way to make this event one to remember and it was certainly that. BBQ, multiple group buys, grow out comps, raffle and lots of killer livestock. Jeff's team was rocking as well and put in a ton of work... including all the online auctions leading up to the event. I have a feeling it's going to be a while before we top today's meeting. If you missed out though, don't worry - we will be back at it next month!!! (exhausted just thinking about it) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gil&Fin Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 So many people pitched in to help. I want to add @Paratore Cody was right there stepping up to help me with the coral group buys and grow out contest frags. Cody is the guy who won the grand prize light. I guess it was good karma at work. Also, a ton of people brought food! It was quite a spread. Behind the scenes @reefnjunkie Brad and Chris @Snarkywere bagging and fragging. And...let us not forget...OUR AMAZING PRESIDENT, KIM @Emerald525! She worked right beside Jeff @CuttleFishandCoralto make this an unforgettable meeting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I missed a few. I honestly couldn't see everyone who was helping with the wall to wall people. Sometimes being short can be a curse LOL. At one point R-3 pointed out that my snails were at the top of the invert tank because I was too short to see it. Thanks @R-3! Yes thanks @reefnjunkie for covering the SPS group buy. I knew I could just leave that one to you and you would handle that like a pro. Thanks all of the members who also just chipped in with clean up! This is definitely a meeting that is going to be hard to top and was legendary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paratore Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Happy to help Holly! I Think it was good karma because last meeting I helped bag corals!

I was honestly amazed how smoothly everything went for as much that was going on. Great job everyone involved! LOL it sucks to be short sometimes. I can't even reach the top bin of the invert tank! It did go very smoothly and that's because Jeff is a top notch owner with a great staff of people. I am also lucky to have some great board members and officers who just take charge without much direction and also just as important is we have great members like you who were willing to also just step up and take charge and help out. The also nice thing is that everyone was just chill and patient. When there was an issue (like not getting the square reader to work...) everyone was so patient and understanding. Sorry we ran out of water too. Normally I end up bringing a case and having to lug half of it back. I was not expecting that big of a turnout. This turned out so well because of everyone involved and I'm still happy from all the positive energy! PS (thanks all of you who finished all my bottled beer in the cooler.. ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to fess up to actually helping out with the beer. By the time I got a chance to grab a drink it was the only thing left!

Flashy Fins Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Whoever made that pan of brownies deserves their own special thanks, because mmmmmm! And special thanks to Scott for whipping up some bacon for this picky eater! I pretty much never fill my plate at potluck gatherings, but I did at this one. Thanks to all who brought something to share! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroberts Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I wanted to thank Kim for all of the hard work on the meeting. It was a lot of fun and the group buys and grow outs will be lots of fun in the future as they start blossoming. Special thanks for the zoa frag that you brought for me and the dosing pump. I will bring you a frag some time in the near future. Thanks again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I got in trade years ago so I have never actually used it or tried it so I wouldn't have felt right selling it. The BRS pumps are usually pretty reliable though and free is a good price! But if it doesn't work, I will give you your money back! ;). I hope you enjoy the frag ! All the ones I gave out were some of my favorites in the tank! And the group buys went well and I did get some ideas of how to make it work even better! I imagine Kai, Sean and Holly had pruney fingers in the end with their hands being in water constantly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad Scott has been extremely generous with his time helping out on these events - it makes a huge difference. Definitely some karmic payback with those gift certificate wins!
