Does the 21st work for everyone? The 14th is the ETRC frag swap, so thought that the 21st would be more convenient.
Thanks,
Matt

The address is 945 Oakdale Dr. 37040. We are located about 2 miles from campus, almost a straight shot up University, and just a few blocks from Gary Matthews Dodge, somewhat in the same area as West and John.
Brandon, PM sent.
So, since no one else seems to object, the 21st it is!
I plan on showing everyone how I made my feed timer (shuts off the pumps/skimmers for a specified time and then turns them all back on). If someone would like to make one, here are the parts that you will need:
light timer: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs...langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100001546
Electrical box - I can't find the one I use, but it's @ Home Depot and is a dark green standard depth outdoor box with a solid face cover and sealing gaskets. The solid face is important as it will allow you to drill the single hole off center to get everything in the box.
Extension Cord - I use a 6' long outdoor 3 prong 14 or 16 gauge "heavy duty" cord.
Relay: http://www.radioshack.com/product/i...&sr=1&origkw=relay&kw=relay&parentPage=search
The only other items needed are crimpable disconnectors to fit over the terminals of the relay and wire nuts. I will have plenty of these on hand if anyone is going to be building one, or for reference for later.
I will be drawing up a small diagram on how to wire these to dhare with anyone who wants to build one later.
See you there!

Opps, sorry, didn't realize I had not put that in there. We are thinking around 5:00pm, unless something else works better for others?

We are probably going to do hot dogs/hamburgers, chips, stuff like that. If you want anything special to drink, you might want to bring that..... and since neither of us drink, there are no beers in our fridge, but feel free to bring them!

We want to say thank you to Matt and Karen for hosting the meeting last night. I was really impressed with the auto timer for turning everything back on when finished feeding the tank. Please don't forget to e-mail or post the specs for creating our own timer.
Supper was real good and we enjoyed seeing everyone who could make the meeting.
Once again thanks for everything.

Thanks to everyone who came, we had a ton of fun. Can't wait till next year, hopefully the 90 and the FO tank will be up and running.
Thanks to EVERYONE who brought food, we had a bunch of really good stuff! I hope everyone got there fill, I know I did, and then some. Thanks for covering the grill Terry. Again, as always, thanks to T&T for bringing phyto, and an awesome millepora.
Hope everyone made it back home without getting lost, AGAIN!
It's a shame that everyone else couldn't make it, but that just meant more ORA Duncans for everyone else.....

I've not forgotten the writeup for the switch, it's almost done, just got to take apart my switch box tonight and verify the connections one last time. I'll get it online hopefully this weekend.
