badxgillen Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Well Folks, it seems to be an end to the summer and the beginning of fall, September is here! And it looks like we have lined up one last meeting before the end of the year's December gathering, and right before the Annual October Frag Festival. And Great News! We will be having the September meeting at the Seahorse Aquarium Supply in Portland. When?: September 22nd Sunday 1:00 - 4:00 Where?: 106 NE Russet St, Portland, OR 97211 What?: A gathering of your favorite PNWMAS people at a long time sponsors establishment, including food, raffles, and great deals on some very nice livestock. So come on out and hang out with some of your fellow club members, see whats been brewing at the Seahorse Aquarium, and maybe get the skinny on the upcoming North West Frag Festival. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Excited to finally have a meeting at Seahorse. It's been a few years since Terry and Tewsley have taken over the day to day running of the shop for Woody, and now that he has passed, they have been busy making some changes and bringing in a wider range of supplies and products and reformatting the space. Terry said he would be planning something special for the event so stay tuned. At the very least, you can maybe meet their new baby - I'm sure he will be learning the ropes of saltwater reef keeping in no time! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxmonkeyboy Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Everyone should come out and show seahorse some love!! (and hear my spot on Terry impersonation). 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabbyCrabs Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 If it were Saturday maybe. We are well on our way back to Idaho by 1. 7 hour drive and all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyk Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Cool location. Reminds me I need to support Seahorse. The only thing in my current tank that I held over from my 2008 tank was the hundreds of pounds of beautiful live rock that Woody sold me. Some really epic specimens for sure. Woody helped give me this addiction that has proven difficult to shake. Can't say I would ever risk actual live rock ever again. On top of the ecological issues the darnedest things come along for the ride. Letting it sit in the sun for 8 years really does the trick though. None of the aiptasia survived. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This hits close to home. Mine sat in the driveway baking in the sun and freezing in the winter for 7 years I think. In my case, it was majanos that were the plague and likewise didn't survive 😄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I spoke with Terry and he said he was planning to do a promotion at the meeting - $10 off on a purchase of $20 or more for club members! All the more reason to swing by and check it out. We plan to have some canopies up in the parking area in front of the shop to give us some extra room for food, mingling etcetera even if the weather doesn't cooperate. I also heard that Christian (of Moloko fame) might be contributing some beverages to the event (got you covered there @spectra) so hope to see you there this coming Sunday. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisriverfisherman Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Well the meeting at Seahorse is tomorrow and I hope to see a bunch of you out and about tomorrow. Sounds like there will be pizza, pizza, pizza and some beverages as well. Looks like there is a nice promotion from Terry for those that attend as well I believe we are raffling off a gift certificate or 2. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obrien.david.j Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I'll still be there! But the Trident stays at home. Last week it caught me doing a maint mistake which spiked the Alk. Was able to manually shut off my CO2 Reactor while at work, and fix once I got home. Couldn't have done that before the Trident. (Yes, I'm also fixing this setup so it "can't" happen again. - famous last words) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 The past couple days I have finally been getting a little better from my recent medical issues, which means I might be able to leave Corvallis! Fingers crossed I can make it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexinverts Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 We are coming but won’t be there until 145-ish because of the drive from Corvallis. We can’t leave until 1215 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Just want to give a shout out to everyone that braved the sketchy weather to join us at Seahorse for the meeting yesterday. Despite the damp, I think we all had a good time and Terry and Tewsley were wonderful hosts. Christian from Moloko's also chipped in a very nice selection of beverages to keep the vibe going. Hopefully no one got too roughed up by the inflatable dancing tube man... he got a bit out of control when wet 🤗 I saw quite a few new faces, which is always fun. Bert made it up from Salem with his leg scooter to join us and bring along some awesome frag packs for the raffle - thanks man! It was great to see the pres up and around after a rough go of things lately. Thanks Seahorse! Hopefully we can do another meeting there in the future... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badxgillen Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 It was a great meet all around, good people, great livestock, and wonderful time. Even with my scooter I was able to snap some photos here and there. I still have an onslaught of appointments but I aim to throw some up here later tonight or tomorrow latest. Thank you Seahorse, and thank you PNWMAS... And Obrien for all the MACNA swag he brought to just give away, Awesome! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang man, what happened? Tearing your leg off with an I-beam wasn't enough the first time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
