No problem. I'll bring a spoon to stir the frag tank water, and c_stowers can hold a flashlight over the tank. I think I have some blue cellophane to get that actinic pop

LOL :lol: How bout I bring a power strip and we all share like good children? But the blue celophane idea just may work......:lol:
Seriously are you setting up a tank also? I am bringing a 20 tall and need 3 plugs but could use 4.

Yeah, it sounds like we need a power strip that has 8 outlets, or 2 power strips with fewer outlets depending on how many wall sockets we have near the table.

I want you all to know frags have finally become a problem for me. I couldn't get to sleep last night because I was thinking about all the neat frags I have "pre-ordered" so far. When I did sleep, I had a weird dream about the frag swap. When I woke up, I was thinking about oregon tort.

It keeps draining from my pockets. I've got to frag a ton of stuff to break even.
I haven't been able to get inside the building to see how power is distributed. Bring extension cords and power strips. There should be plenty of outlets along the way, but I'm not sure about the poles in the middle. We'll get it worked out, though.
I've gotten alot of emails and haven't replied, but will as soon as I can. It has been a very busy night... I left work at 4:00, didn't get home until 7:00 and was on the phone until almost 9:00 (then took a few shots of Crown). Got a lot of good news, though.
Stopped by the Critter today on my way home and talked to Chris. They donated a 24 gallon Aquapod and a Turbothruster pump (interesting piece of equipment). The urbothruster has two ends (two inlets and outlets) and is rheostat controlled, so you can turn the flow up and down. Supposed to be rated for up to 22' head, but low flow at 1100 or so gph.
Also talked to Chris at Reefermadness and he is donating a huge bluish green Acro nobilis and a Mycedium macanoi(sp?) for the fragging demonstration. He even let me pick them out. Chris likes the nobilis because it is somewhat bulletproof. Great guy to deal with and he's really helped us out here (just gotta pay shipping, etc.).
We will hold the fragging demonstration at 1:30, likely in the kitchen area (if possible, if not, by the PA equipment area). The fragging demonstration tickets are $10. You'll receive a frag of at least one of them, but both if we have enough to go around. The corals they are coming from are good sized.
Other raffle items we have are $25 from Drs. Foster and Smith, (2)-$50 gift certificates to airwaterice (to different people is generally the 'rule'), (2)-$25 gift certificates to Florida Pets, several aquariums from Glass Cages, a 175W electronic retro (reflector, ballast, socket, bulb-all wired) from PFO, 150W HQI Reef Optix3 Pendant from Sunlight Supply, and (4)-$50 gift certificates for Pure Captive (preferably to four different people, as with the others). Club members are encouraged to donate frags for door prizes and raffle prizes.
And finally, we are planning on having a grand prize live stock drawing. This will be a separate drawing from the other raffles to ensure that the winner truely wants and can care for the fish. It'll be a surprise.
Can't wait.

The $50 gift certificates (2) mentioned above are from <a href="http://tinyurl.com/yfafwf" target=_blank>air water ice</a>, I believe. Gary, correct me if I am wrong. I have one of their RO/DI units -- a very nice piece of equipment.

Yeah, I didn't figure it would be removed it if I didn't add the .com... Wlater is a great guy to deal with.
Waynesworld and his daughters (and likely Joy, too) will be providing refreshments in the form of brats, cheddar brats, hot dogs, and drinks, etc. The profits will be donated to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. It sounded like a great way to help someone who needs it more than the club...
