August Meeting

[dvmsn]

I am proposing an unusual meeting this month. I have been having some bad algae problems for the last month or so. I think that I am going to add a refugium to my tank to try to help with it. I am planning using a 55 for my sump. I will need to remove the braces that hold the doors. Although they are weight bearing, but I don't think that they hold the whole thing up. But, since they are weight bearing, I am a little nervous about removing them and changing out the sump without other, more mechanically inclined people around to help me. I know that offering to have a meeting that involves work might be poor form, but I enjoy working on tanks and don't consider it work and was thinking maybe some of you feel the same. Jimmy, I still want that 55.

 

[Strack]

I am up to help out anytime Dave!

 

[phishguy05]

[tomterreefic]

this? work? no
Addiction? Yes!!
Money pit? Yes!!
But work? C'mon
Let me know when you plan to do this and I'll come help.

 

[dvmsn]

I'd like to do it pretty soon. Maybe the weekend of the 12th. I figure a weekend afternoon would be best. What do you guys think?

 

[chad508]

did you say something about fragging the blue milli? i thought you said that was what we were doing. j/k

i know you said you are having a bubble algea problem, but you should look at my tank. i have bubble algea out the butt right now. the only thing i can contribute it to is high co2 in the tank.

 

[dvmsn]

You name the algae, Ive got it. If you are fragging that purple polyp cap I might be fragging the milli.

 

[jjac]

I'll get the 55 to you this weekend!

 

[kmaxwell]

i havent been to a meeting in a while so i will try to make this one and help out

 

[dvmsn]

What day would be best Saturday 12th or Sunday 13th, I think early afternoon would be best like 1 or 2. I don’t go to church so that is not an issue for me but I know it is for some of you.

 

[chad508]

i know sunday is best for me, with me and jimmy doing the tanks on saturday.

 

[kmaxwell]

sunday is good for me

 

[dvmsn]

OK 1 on sunday the 13

 

[phishguy05]

hey is the kmaxwell guy even in the club i dont know if one meeting is good enough to qualify as a member right

 

[phishguy05]

sorry i dont think i will be able to make that meeting is i will be at work that day will yall miss me ha ha ha ha ha

 

[dvmsn]

Ok, slight change of plans. Unfortunately, the 55 leaks. I can still do a regular meeting. Maybe later in the day might be better. I might just go back to the 10 gallon witha gate valve to reduce flow through it.

 

[bugshop]

Dave, I have a new aga 55 that you can have, You just have to drive to Greenville to get it

 

[phishguy05]

ok dave so when are we having the meeting and what time

 

[dvmsn]

I can do it whenever. Even when it is already set. I just thought later might be more convinient for others.
