**C-SEA Columbus field trip Feb 25th**

[scottfarcuz]

For those of you that missed the meeting last night C-SEA is planning a trip to Columbus on Sunday Febuary 25th.

Todd Melman of Reef systems in New Albany, Ohio has offered us a tour of his new greenhouse/captive raised coral setup on the 25th from noon to 3pm. Rather than answer the same questions several times we are hoping Todd can go over how the system is setup at 1pm, and follow up with some Q&A. He has also been kind enough to offer everyone in the club 15% off during this timespan.

Phishy business will be a great way to round out this trip. This is a great reef shop with awsome selection located about 9 miles from our first stop. Phishy offered 10% off coral to C-SEA members on Sunday.

The club would like to see everyone carpool if possible. We have a little over a dozen people already planning to meet at the Pilot gas station at the intersection of route 71 and route 83 at 9:45am. If you are worried about finding others at the meeting point then feel free to PM Erik, or I for cell phone #'s. I know this meet location doesn't work well for everyone. If you have a few people local, and can carpool please do so.

Nice to see some social events being put together outside of the formal meetings. I had fun going out for a drink or two after the meeting last night too. We should try to do something as a group more often to help build camaraderie.

Reef systems does not have prices on their corals. That seems odd.

For those who have not made it to those LFS shops, you are in for a real treat.

I really hope I dont have to work. I have been looking for an excuse to get down there to see reef systems.

Would there be an issue with meeting up with everyone when you get down there? My parents live down there and was planning on taking a trip there next weekend to visit.

No problem. There was a statement made at the meeting that you could just check the website for the address if you wanted to go without the carpool/caravan. Just be sure to be there at the designated time (noon for Reef Systems and 1pm for the tour of his facility)

I have a full vehicle lined up... So far I have Andy, Will, Jeff, Tom and myself confirmed.

See you all there at 09:45
