Michael7979 Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 How did the meeting go? Somebody spill the beans. I have been working on the lights for the tank and getting them up and running again. And doing some other things, (tankwise), so I wasn't able to go. Quote
dsoz Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 It was a good meeting. About 10 people. There are now a few more tanks with holes in them then there were before (this is a good thing). Calvin's tank is stunning! about 400 gallons of relaxation in his basement. Very nice. Also a nice frag tank with some good pieces. Overall good friends, good tanks, lots of chit-chat and some trades going on. dsoz Quote
fishmanmike01 Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 It was good,I had alot of fun.Plus i got to see how to drill a tank, it looked pretty easy and yes calvins tank was a beast...........hmmmmm someday! Quote
Lowman Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 That skimmer is a monster. Nice tank, and great people. And I can definately state that indeed CA2OR exists!!! Quote
ThePremiumAquarium Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Bob, That is probably the best thing to come of the whole day I would imagine lol. Just playing with you CA2OR(whistle) I knew you really where out there somewhere...(laugh) Garrett Quote
Michael7979 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 Well I'm sorry I missed this meeting. Really wanted to see Calvin's tank, maybe some other time. Don't know what is up for Feb., but I'm hosting in March and I'm working on somethings for that meeting. Along with showing off my tank. But I do hope to make the next one, where ever it might be.

dsoz Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 According to today's meeting, Feb. meeting is still location TBA, and Andy will be talking about digital photography. dsoz Quote
Lowman Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 If my prop system is all cycled and running, I may be able to host. Quote
albertareef Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 If my prop system is all cycled and running' date=' I may be able to host.[/quote'] That would be great Bob - can't wait to see that up and running at your place... expecially if it has frags of some of the great coral you have been collecting lately!

Lowman Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Hey, thanks Sean, I do have some interesting pieces for sure. We are plumbing the closed loop and refugium tomorrow, and I should have it filled all the way with water and running on Tuesday sometime. Quote
JManrow Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 One view of Calvin's(kilmca) 400 gallon reef. Lots of caves and tunnels in this tank! Cleaning station Eric(CA2OR) & wife Snowpunk drilling a practice hole on a 10g w/ Barelycuda assisting After a successful practice drilling, Snowpunk drills his 45g corner tank A job well done A few of the items donated for the PNWMAS Awards Program Quote
JManrow Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Thanks again Calvin & Michele for hosting this meeting. We had a great time! Quote
jason7504 Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 wow that tank is amazing!!! wow is that on a concrete floor or something? and that skimmer is HUGE! lol Quote
kilmca Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 wow that tank is amazing!!! wow is that on a concrete floor or something? and that skimmer is HUGE! lol Yeah the tank is on a concrete floor in the basement. Thanks everyone for coming and all the compliments. I had a great time and plan on making future meetings. Quote
CA2OR Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 That meet was great. I have to admit it was far more comfortable of an environment than any RC meeting I went to. PNWMAS(rock2). It was very nice to finally put a face to the names. Calvin, your tank is sick. My jaw dropped when I first saw it, even caught that jealous stare from the wife;). Over all I had a great time, wonderful people, lots of inspiration. I am looking forward to tons of future trades. Fishmanmike01, you and me buddy, we gotta do some swapping. I have one other thing to say here. I want to show my appreciation to each and everyone of you for making my wife feel comfortalbe for the beginning. I was afraid that she would feel out of place or uncomfortable placing a damper on my reefs future. But thanks to you guys the future is looking bright with opportunity for many new corals(plotting), she actually said she liked it and would go again. Thank you guys. Quote
CA2OR Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 To show my appreciation, I would like all who attending and have interest, to PM your names to me and I will accumilate a list. Once these purple hornets are fragged you guys will have dibs. Can't promise that you will get a bunch of polyps (I only have about 25), but I can promise you will get some. Quote
MadReefer Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 That's cool CA2OR. These have sold for so much lately that I thought you where just talking some BS to see what people would say. Quote
CA2OR Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 No, actually I have no interest in selling any of them. I have never really been into selling so to speak, I am more interested in trades to improve the appearance and quality of both my tank and the other person. I have traded a 2inche frag of superman monti for some nice, but not expensive, zoa's before. Of course the main reason was because I didn't have sufficient lighting to keep the monti alive but still. The other reefer made out like a bandit if you only look at monitary value, but I am more satisfied of what I see in my tank, not what I spent. Quote
CA2OR Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I like to refer to myself as a true reefer, as in if you are happy with trade, and I am happy with trade, how much stuff costs is not important. Maybe I am just dumb reefer. Quote
MadReefer Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I was speaking of your other post about mail. And are you saying, no that's not cool, it's just what you do? Because I never said you seemed to want to sell them. Quote
CA2OR Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 No, misunderstanding I think. I was under the impression you were talking about this post when I offered to send frags to those I met when I frag. When I read what you said about them selling for a bunch, I was just responding in saying that I wasn't just saying that to see what others say, I am not even selling them. You know? Nevermind. Quote
MadReefer Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I know what you mean now, and I should have mentioned the other thread when I made my first post here. My stream of thought isn't always as clear as I think. Quote
CA2OR Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Well that sux. Are you going to the next one? Quote
