Need your input for NARC May Meeting

[Tomoko Schum]

Hi y'all,

WEEC says that they are willing to host us in May or June. I recall NicoleC mentioned hosting us in the near future. I don't know if she has settled in her new place enough to host us in May (any comment, Nicole?). CRA is always willing to host us, too, possibly letting us hold a small regional frag swap in their new building (not quite ready yet for that though - maybe in a few months.)

So I need your response/input on the meeting place in May. If you would rather visit some shop in the area together as a group (possibly scoring a group discount), please mention that here, too.

Not May, June at my place. May is too soon!

 

[Tomoko Schum]

Okay, so we will ask WEEC to host us in May. I am thinking either 12th or 19th.

can you fill in the newbie on what WEEC is. I am off work on the 19th but I have to work on the 12th.

Here's their website address: http://www.weec.dcs.edu/

They have two large indoor aquatic set-up's (fresh water and salt water) in addition to their outdoor ponds and marsh land. It's part of Decatur school system and not open to general public, but they always accomodate us kindly (coming out on their off days.)

WEEC sounds great!

5th or 12th is good for me but I have to work on the 19th.

[stolaas]

That sounds like fun. I will be in Florida at the beach on the 12th but the 19th i am free.

19th is better...Mothers day is the 13th

It would be a nice mothers day outing for me. It looks like a place the kids would enjoy.
We can not make it the 19th.

We'll be out of town on the 12th. 19th would be good.

Hi y'all,

I just talked with WEEC and they said 11:00 am on 19th.

If you have never visited the place, it's really a treat. Their equipment room is really impressive. I understand that Tennessee Aquarium helped them design and set up their system.
You can get as much chaeto as you want for free. You can probably help them thin out their GSP and xenia colony, too. You can probably get some tiny mysis shrimp and micro brittle stars for your fuge, too.

Any idea for activity besides looking at their system?
We can do a frag trade, too, if you'd like.
Any request for a demo of some sort? You can show off some new idea/contraption/equipment, too.

Frag swap could be good, and getting some mysis & brittle stars.

I could bring a Vortech power head if anyone want to see one in action.

[Tomoko Schum]

Anyone looking for a particular frag?

Tomoko

 

[andyjd]

I'd like a some more sps or Zoas

 

[Tomoko Schum]

I have both sps and zoa frags. Any particular colors or type you are looking for?

Tomoko

 

[stolaas]

I would like some frags but not this time, no where to put them But I will ask them for some chaeto though since i do have the sump up and running with live rock.
