If you have never heard the guest speakers PodCasts from Reef Addicts, you need to go download them on itunes and listen to them. Marc and his guest host Jessy are hilarious. You will learn about the hobby, and laugh alot along the way!

If you like the Itunes podcasts, there are two on our helpful links page on our website. http://www.wtmrac.com/links.html
Click the top two links, RCast and RAddicts. RCast has 30 something hilarious episodes that are well worth listening to for knowledge and comedy. RCast turned into Raddicts so you can find the newest ones there.

This is the perfect time for me. My new tank should be cycled and ready for coral by then. I am looking forward to it.

I should be available to help out. I don't think I can stay the whole day, but could volunteer to help set up (tables, chairs, etc.) in the AM. What else do you need volunteers to sign up for? Lookin' forward to it!

 

[Mako Shark II]

Great feedback!! Thanks All.

Actually, We will be done with set-up the night before, when folks may wish to have their frag tanks ready.

Remember: bring DUAL heaters!

I guess we should post on the other Tennessee club boards too? I know the East Tennessee club sent me an email a few months back (I think because there were only a few of us posting for a while so he picked me) requesting permission to post their frag swap. So I told him to send me $100 and it would be okay....well not really, but I told him I was not in control, but our generals were MIA, and that I would go out on a limb and give them permission. I sent him (Joel McCellan) an email and he said the procedure is that the local club starts a thread and then we can post the info. So as soon as he posts we can put in a link or post. Jay do you want to do that? I don't want to step on your toes (and I am not sure if it is a cut and paste or takes an advanced technology degree to paste the great looking flyer you have) if you already have a plan....let me know....

I am going to post on all of the regional boards to try and get their help. I know that I put the middle TN swap flyer on our website when they had theirs. I will be in contact with several clubs and see what we can do. Thanks for the heads up.

This should be a great swap. I intend to "try and take off" for a change that weekend where I can relax and enjoy the swap. We also will have some "extras for club members only" so the time to join is NOW!!
