Next Meeting, Nov 20: Water Chemistry and DIY Supplements.

[Reef Happy]

Sorry guys, I wish I had enough to share. Making this smoke for two family gatherings over Thanksgiving. I would be in trouble with the families if I didn't bring what they are expecting. For some reason I been appointed as the meat person.

I know the meeting is going to start shortly, but I won't be in attendance. Too many things to get done, and rather tired from work. My apologies.

thanks guys for putting this meeting together. really informative and good to know what my water parameters are, although i'm kind of embarrassed with the results. however now i know how to fix the problem and what test kits i need to pick up.

and as always thank you Paul for answering my 500 questions for you!! :spin3:

Thank you Paul for a great lesson. I didn't realize how important magnesium was to maintaining calcium and alkalinity levels.

Also thank you to those who volunteered to lead the club for the next year. I know you give many hours to provide informative and entertaining events, and help others be successful in the hobby.

Very nice door prize..

Paul,

Thanks once again for giving your time to speak. I've read and heard discussions about alk, calc and mag. I've been a believer for some time and dose all.... but I never understood the relationship at this level. It makes a lot more sense now.


Great group of people that stepped forward last night to lead the club. I'm pumped.

It was a very informative meeting. Thank you, Paul for speaking.

It was good to see some new faces and welcome to all our new members!

It was an awesome meeting! So glad I finally got to come! My sps are testament to the 3 additives. When I first came to Paul 3 months ago they were all bleached out and one almost died! Now, after getting my Magnesium in line I am able to keep my Calc at 450 and my Montipora are getting their color back and have great PE

 

[pwhitby]

Its all about the magnesium.

Its my first test kit that I reach for when its time to check the parameters.
