Thanks Todd!
 
Ok guys, let me know what you think of this. I am doing a demo on how to over drive a bulb but I think it may be better to not just show how to over drive it but how to put together a full over driven canopy and even show how to wire a couple bulbs in a series. I was thinking a 3 bulb canopy for a standard 12x24 footprint tank. I could try and keep track of about how much $$$ is spent with the DIY setup compaired to a plug and play light. I have everything I need with the exception of a 24" actinic bulb which I'm sure one of you can help me come up with one. Also if you guys like this idea I'm sure someone has a 24" 2x65 watt fixture they could bring in for a side by side compairison. Give me some input on this.
Thanks!
 
Ok, guys I have the ODNO canopy finished and I think we need a real compairison. So here is what I'm thinking. I need someone to bring in a 24" 2x65 fixture with a mix of actinic and eather 6500 or 10k lamps, maybe a coralife or current fixture. It would also be nice to have 2 empty 20g tanks setup side by side, one with my canopy and one with the other. I have an empty 25g but I figure it would be easyer to find 2 empty 20g then one empty 25g for the compairison. This is my first ODNO setup for saltwater so we'll see how it goes.
 
Oh we also need a table for demos if anyone has one, if not we will get one for the next meet.

Also would be good if we could video the presentations.
 
The A/V epuipment is available for this weekend. I'll pick it up sometime tomorrow. Recording the presentations won't be a problem just need to go to wallyworld and get tapes for the camera.
 
Slacker that I am, ran into Matt at the gym and he reminded me about the meeting... what time do I need to be there to greet?

NOTICE!!!!PLEASE HELP! NOTICE!!!!PLEASE HELP! NOTICE!!!!PLEASE HELP!
We are in need of tables to set up at our meetings.
The DEMO area really needs a TABLE. It is hard on folks to try and show us things while they are working in the floor! Demos would run smoother as items needed could be organized on the table. People watching would be able to see better as the camera would have a better viewing angle!

Need a GREETER TABLE large enough for folks to sign in the “guest book” and to pick up their name tag.

Need a PRIZE TABLE. I would like to set this table up each month in the same general area allowing people to walk around and browse as soon as they entered the meeting. This month I am trying to streamline the process to make it flow more smoothly. My goal is to make everyone aware of what we have as prizes and how to sign up for each!

Please remember the drawing for the donated prizes will be immediately after the demos. Winners must be present to win items.
We are in the “Yard Sale” season. There is one on every corner! See if we can pick up a few nice tables relatively cheap. The tables need to be sturdy, clean and fold up easily to allow us to store them at Cook’s. I’m not really concerned if the top is stained as we can put a table cloth to cover. Please pm me to let me know if you find any as I would like to reimburse you for the expense! These tables will stay with the meetings as our “member future” grows and expands!
