July meeting is set

[tomgl]

We will be meeting on July 23, 2011 @ 2 PM to 4 PM. The location is Memphis BBQ on Warm Springs and Eastern. Please do not go to the Rainbow location unless you want to be a wedding crasher. Narzibad (Chris) will be doing a presentation on Anemones.

[JimmyC11]

I will try to make this one.. The people in Henderson deserve a time or two up that way.

[Troylee]

Dang about time you brought it to this side of town... That's with in walking distance..;)

[wazupjames]

Wow that's close. :p

[JimmyC11]

You guys making this one? Lee maybe you should have a frag sale at your house after??? =)

[bob]

Hrm, I work till 2 that day....any chance of delaying the meeting 30-40 minutes? =)

[tomgl]

Unfortunately we have to be out at 4. Delaying the presentation would interfere with the give away at the end of the meeting. Please come by late stragglers late always welcome.

haha alright, I'll see what I can do about getting out a tad early as well. I'm just glad you're doing one on our side of town!

[Narazbad]

We have a very strict time table on this one :P

[St8Gr3]

Okay! Super excited! ;) It's gonna be great! :blob3:

[tomgl]

I am too. Trying to figure out the best questions to ask Chris. We should all bring a list of things to ask him.

[VegasFish]

I'm sorry to miss this one - well kind of. We'll be swimming with the fishes in Kauai.

[JimmyC11]

Jealous!!!I love Kauai... Lived in Maui, got married there as well. I have tons of ohana there still =)

Just an FYI. Hope I don't sound like a jerk I'm not trying to be one. The meetings for the club are always on Saturday. I think in the last four years we have had one on a Sunday night and no one showed up. The bylaws state the meetings are to be the first Saturday at noon each month. We try our best to follow the rules but do to the changes we are dealing with to get meeting places the week and times have varied. I was on the phone yesterday and today working on getting a room finalized for this month. I hope you can start coming to the Wednesday meet and eat again soon.

[bigronbo]

i'll ask my question now:) how you going to keep them out of the powerhead? or keep them in one place so you don't lose other corals that it stings while your in bed or at work?

[St8Gr3]

OoO that's how I lost mine a few months back.... the dreaded powerhead! :BangHead:

I have a carpet nem and before I mount any corals, I let the nem dig its hole and make sure that's its secure in where it is. But to be honest, nothing is ever for sure with nems. They could decide to move in the middle of the night. It helps that once it foots somewhere, keep it well fed and in its natural conditions of light and flow. If a nem is on the move its not happy. Happy nem, happy tank.

No, you don't sound like a jerk! LOL My schedule has been ridiculous, and I really miss the monthly and Wed meetings. It's certainly not your fault and I wasn't complaining. I just really wish I could go. I'll be in Phoenix though on the 23rd. Will be there Wed next week though for sure!

[jetwet1]

Sorry to say this won't be my first meeting, that's the date of my wife's class reunion...which I really really really want to go to :BangHead:

[Aquatic Empires]

That is really close to my house! i can probably just rolled ut of bed and into the meeting! lol
hey Chris!
are you going to show us how to frag a nem? maybe i can donate a nem to do it.

[St8Gr3]

Chris do it! Because that rbta is next!!

[tomgl]

Will be there Wed next week though for sure! Yes we will have one.

[Aquatic Empires]

Im only egging you on buddy. but im seriuos if you want to try to frag a nem, i will donate one. sorry to put you on the spot. it would be pretty cool though if you did; of coarse it would be a rock flower nem. didnt i read somewhere that somebody used a blender? lol. im not trying that though. it seems too cruel too me.

[kentlighting]

you're not gonna make him man the store while you go to the meeting dennis?

[Narazbad]

If we can find the proper way to do it in a restaurant environment, I'm game if you are. It will make good raffle prizes.

[St8Gr3]

HaHa sweet! This is gonna be fantastic! :D

[hvd78]

I'm new to this, but if there are club dues, can I pay at the meeting? I would like to be a supporter. Thanks.

[Narazbad]

Yes you can pay at the meeting or online through paypal.

[mesafire]

I'll be there for this one :D

[Troylee]

Steak knife and a bubble tip is all you need...;) hahahahha

[TheGreatAukSociety]

It might be a bit much to start chopping anemones at the BBQ. We are having a freshwater dip demo soon at AE we could probably do It then.

[St8Gr3]

I'm sure this is a silly ? but we are ordering food and eating too right?

[tomgl]

There will be the normal daily menus provided. Memphis donates the room under the premiss that people will order food and drink. Normally they setup a buffet at $20 a person to use the room but they have made an exception for us as-long as we use the room earlier in the day. In my opinion the food is better at the Warm Springs location compared the the Rainbow location. Looking forward to a sweet apple ice tea.

[fishman]

So do we have alittle background on the GURU speaker of the ever popular glass anemones that most of use keep? I hear he has kept alot of anemones in his tanks over the years ;)

[tomgl]

Our speaker has been working in the industry for several years not only in stores but maintenance. He has a role in the local reefing club in his town. His process for raising glass anemones is considered to be tops in the nation.

[tomgl]

Awesome

[harriscli]

Really good meeting. We should have a rule though that all meetings must be within 5 min of a fish store. It didn't feel right not going into AE after the meeting.

[hvd78]

Nice to have you folks and to put a face n name to user id's.
