badxgillen Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 It is time again to mark the 2020 calendar, we will be having a PNWMAS club meeting at the new Premium Aquarium store at the end of the month! Not too long ago the TPA made a transition into a new building in south Salem that seems to be a great fit for their establishment, nice open spaces and rows and rows of coral and fish tanks, not to mention a wide selection of dry goods. As usual the club will provide some food and beverages for those who attend as well as a raffle to partake in. I am also getting some confirmation on a coral group buy in for a nice colony or two brought in by the TPA. Once we have more details on that we will post them up here so just stay tuned. When - Saturday February 29th 1:PM Where - The Premium Aquarium 4071 Liberty Rd S, Salem, Oregon 97302 What - Sales, Raffles, Food, Friends, and a coral group buy. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrien.david.j Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I'm likely in on a group buy. Must be hard / stony coral, I'm not doing anything without calcium right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Excited to see the new shop! It was great to see Garrett and the TPA crew at our holiday meeting in December so will be nice to follow up with a meeting in their new digs. They always work hard to make us feel at home there when hosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badxgillen Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 I am still waiting to hear back from Garret at the TPA about what coral colonies he has in store for us but I do know that we will have a number of nice raffle prizes in store for the PNWMAS club such as... A brand new Echotech MP 10 propeller circulation pump to get your water flow in style. A very flexible and non intrusive way to keep that water moving in the reef tank. A duel sensor automatic top off unit to help keep that salinity stable long term, and piece of mind when you are away from the tank for a period of time. And something that everybody needs once in a while, a full case of some of the finer marine grade salts. I have been using the fritz for a little while now and I am pretty happy with it, here is a chance to give it a whirl. We will have a few other items to add to this list of prizes including some certificates from some of our fine sponsors here at PNWMAS, we will post some more news on the meet soon so keep your eyes peeled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashy Fins Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Any info on the group buy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Garret just got back into the states from a trip to the Caribbean and said that he had two awesome Acan colonies set aside for us. I will see if I can get out there tomorrow so I can get them cut up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Can't believe this is coming up this Saturday already! Really looking forward to seeing the new store and hopefully getting pieces of those lovely acans! As per usual, there will be food raffles and lots of scintillating conversation - oh yeah, and some awesome livestock as well if prior visits to TPA are anything to go by. Hope to see a lot of you there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 So it is looking like there will be a 9 spot buy in on each of these acans, at $20.00 each for 2+polyp frags. AND, to make things interesting, we plan on starting a grow out contest for those who get a chance to snag a frag of these bad boys. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it be first come first serve on these, or can we reserve one on the forum? If we can reserve one ahead of time, I'd like to put my name down for one of these.

badxgillen Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Okay so we have... AlbertaReef for Acan A and B, Optimus Prime for Acan A and B, BigDan for Acan A and B, Duck Head for Acan A, Badxgillen for Acan A and B, ReefSoup for Acan B, Bear for Acan B, Coral reef Tankers for Acan A, Snappy for Acan A, Exodus for Acan A and B, Deuce for Acan B, Tandor69 for Acan B, Leaving 1 of Acan A and 0 frags of Acan B. If we get more bites I will relinquish one of the cuts I reserved so someone else can participate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Garrett has always had an eye for nice acans so I'm sure these will be impressive in person. Thanks for fragging them Bert! If you hadn't decided on whether or not to come on out, this make for a nice incentive (while they last) 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
