Johnny's RE is a nice shop and I am sure the workshop will be worth the drive. I have only been to the shop once but everything looked nice and the owner is a great guy who takes pride in his specimens. He also isnt pushy bc he runs the business out of a kennel and doesnt have to make the sales to pay the bills (the kennel has been around for awhile).
 
Sounds cool. I would like to bring my skimmer pump and do the mesh mod on it. I have been holding off because I don't have a kill-a-watt meter.
 
Hello...

Thank you for the kind words.

Johnny's Reefing Experience is located inside the K-9 Country Club at 414 Lumbertown Rd, Normal, IL. The phone number is 309-451-6347. Mapquest, Google, and Yahoo should all be able to locate and provide directions to the address.

We will provide more detailed information regarding the event as the date approaches. We are still in planning mode, but wanted to get the information out as soon as possible so folks can plan accordingly.

Cheers!
Ben Zimmerman - BNARC Secretary
 
It's been brought to my attention that I gave the wrong phone number. The number is actually: 309-451-3647 or 309-451-DOGS.

Sorry!

We are giving away the DIY skimmer as a door prize.
 
Johnny's Reefing Experience is just north of I-55. It's a nice store with nice corals at a good price. John's a great guy.
 
Two questions:

Can anyone go or do you have to be a member?

If I do go, do I have sign up somewhere or can I just show up?
 
Hello!

Anyone is welcome. You simply need to be a member to receive a door prize ticket. Members are also given a 10% discount at JRE on everything in stock, including dry goods (except Tunze, I believe). He stocks all the popular drygoods and is near internet pricing already, so it's a nice perk.

No need to sign up in advance.

Cheers!

Yes, even dogs. BNARC members are offered the 10% off boarding and daycare. The K-9 Country Club is the largest dog kennel in the state. John is gracious to allow us use of his great facility.
 
Our annual membership fee is $15. We'll have temporary member badges for anyone signing up for membership that day.

Cheers!

Yes, they offer dog training. Not sure on the details...I'd call the number above (309-451-DOGS) and ask for details.

Cheers!
