lewisweil Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 I am really excited to be back to do socials. We took a break during the holidays and I miss drinking and talking tanks. I am also very happy we are bringing the event up north (you speak we listen) and partnering with Opal Divine's. They are so cool, I love that place. I am thrilled Gill Murray's tank will be there. Bring some fish curious friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewisweil Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 I am thinking about doing a small contest at the meetup with a gift card as a prize. I am thinking either tank photo contest or bring the pico tanks y'all are working on. Would y'all be down for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Bio)³ Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I've got a spare pico I'd be willing to bring Dont wanna bring the contest one because it is glass and has dwarf horse in it but I can bring and setup this other one I have I'm game.

lewisweil Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Maybe I should setup my 2liter beaker reef again. Though I probably am disqualified from entering my own contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewisweil Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 This is the only photo I could dig up (from 2008!). At its peak it had several hard and soft coral. Some macro algae. Tons of pods. And a pair of cowries that hitchhiked in and would spawn in the water column. I also had tons of placazoans! The only light was a 13watt actinic. All I ever did were water changes. No filter, just a bubbler. I did it to prove to someone that saltwater isn't hard. The only reason I stopped is that coralline algae on the glass was impossible to clean off. It got to where you couldn't really see inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We agree though this was a really good meeting compared to the other one we attended.
