July Meeting

The July meeting will be at my house on the Sunday, the15th , at 4:00 pm. We will be doing a demo on fragging zoanthids. The club will be purchasing a colony of approximately 100 polyps so that every paid member should be able to go home with a frag of 3-4 polyps. I am unsure of what type zoanthids we will be fragging, but I will provide details on the colony as soon as I know them. If anyone has a specific request for zoa type (that is reasonable in price, PM me and I will see what I can do).

We will be supplying tacos to eat, but we will need other people to bring things like chips, drinks, or whatever else you would like. My address is 4916 Alexis Dr., Cane Ridge, TN, 37013. Cane Ridge is just to the west of Antioch and is a 15 min trip from downtown Nashville and a 15-20 min trip from Brentwood/Franklin. I can supply directions for those who PM me and tell me where your coming from. However, the easiest way to get directions is probably to just use maquest or yahoo maps. Please post here if you think you will be coming so that we can have an idea as to how much food to prepare.
 
I'll see what I can do about those zoas. I think the restraining factor on zoa selection is price and availability. We will definitely get something with alot of color though and something that I think isn't already floating around Nashville much.

Just kidding. Anything will be nice.....especially if it's free.
 
Yep. I just moved there a few months ago. My tanks are still in turmoil from the move so you guys aren't going to get to see a real nice tank. But at least everyone can see the new 120 I am in the process of setting up.
 
Small world! I'm in the same subdivision. If I am in town that day I'll be sure and make it to the meeting. I should know my schedule by next week. If I'm able to come I'll pitch in on the drinks.

Ebay and the Critter both get in some nice things in the zoa that don't go for as much as online sometimes. I've had better luck with size and rarity from Sean (the nice ones from the Critter are usually the 'Rainbow Rock', so there might only be 10 polyps of one strain-and may only be one really nice strain among the five or six on the rock). Sean has gotten in what were called Green somethings. I wish I could remember more. Here is a pic of the last colony I bought from him. Not quite 100 polyps, but a nice sized colony of Chameleon People Eaters. Now, for some reason, they always decline over time, but I have a theory that it may be related to the rock the aquaculturist/mariculturist uses. It is man made and modeled after a Fungia sp., I think. The colony didn't really go for that much, if I remember correctly. I might have paid $60-70. I knew what I was getting, so I had no qualms:).

Under 175W 15K XM's, so there is a bit of blue, but they were nice, regardless of lighting...

Yeah those are nice. We are going through Sean on this purchase. Not because they have nicer zoas than A/C, but because we are trying to spread club spending as equally as possible between the LFS's. Sean has been very helpful in finding us a nice colony to frag. As a matter of fact, he was suppose to get a couple of rocks in for us to choose from yesterday. I haven't had a chance to go by there, so if anyone sees a rock there they particularly like, let me know. If we don't see anything there we like, he said he would try and get some more in for us.
 
Awesome! I'm really looking forward to seeing the zoanthid fragging demo.

I should be able to make it.

I'm coming, Chris. Thanks for hosting and organizing.

I was glad to see the date because I'm getting scuba recertified, along with my kids, on the weekends before and after the meeting! I was certified 35 years ago, but I've only been snorkeling since.
 
Sorry I couldn't host and thanks for hosting on short notice. Lupe knee is doing good. Hope the meeting is a good one.

No problem on hosting on short notice. I've been wanting to host a meeting for a while. I just hope that I can get my new 120 up before the meeting. It looks like if I stay on schedule that I will have it up 2-3 days before the meeting. It should be a good meeting. We are going to have some nice zoas to frag. Also, if any newbies are coming and are looking for easy starter corals, I've got some button polyps, yellow polyps, and Kenya trees that I can give away for free.
 
Brian and I should be able to make it. Let us know what's missing on the food table and we'll be more than happy to bring something along.
 
I'm going by Emerald Bay this evening to check out the zoas Sean got in for us to frag up. I'll post here what I find this evening or tommorow.l
