Pizza Night! Thursday, June 28th: Aquatic Treasures, Lotawatta Creek, and Dbuesking's

[Reeferhead]

“ No one throws a Eastside party like we do, No one does it better” :lol:

The next Pizza Night is not to be missed. Velko and Aquatic Treasures always plan something cool for the club and his 600 gallon reef display is worth the trip by itself! Lotawatta… well… if you’ve never been there before make sure you come hungry Plus, Dave and Jackie are welcoming us all back to their home. Dave’s (or perhaps I should say Jacqueline’s) tank is just plain awesome. See the link to his build thread below

Meet at Aquatic Treasures between 6:30-7:30pm and we’ll move on from there. As always, everyone is invited, members and non-members alike, no commitment to join. See you all soon! :bounce2:

WooHoo!! Need to check my schedule to make sure I'm off that night and really looking forward to it:beer:

 

[Tonblogna]

I am not sure which is more impressive; Dave's plumbing and fish room or the actual display. Both are things of beauty. Definately an all around awesome MAN CAVE!!

 

[dbuesking]

This is very exciting for Jackie and I. We love entertaining and we are really looking forward to having the club over. :celeb3: This will be our first chance to show off my system to a bunch of reefer addicts The system is only 8 mo old so not very grown out but you will be able to see the direction I am going in.

I am in the process of changing over to LEDs which I am finding to be more of a challenge than I expected. First I thought I could use the old rack to support them. WRONG lol These are a lot heaver than my t5's and MH reflectors. I will beef up the rack and make it so the led module's will set in the rack like my mh reflector's did. Next I found that 3 module's are not enough for a 36" deep tank so I ordered one more.

I still have to finish up the trim and install a door, etc, etc, etc. Not to mention figure out how to program my apex to dim up and down my lighting:hmm4:

I better get to work:hammer:

Finally a Pizza Night I can make. Looking forward to meeting some folks and having a good time. Also hoping there will be some specials from Aqautic Treasures?

 

[smoothdog]

LOL, nothing like hosting a pizza night to get you inspired.

 

[tall_jason79]

We are going to try hard to make this one, the new frag might be here around then so it's up in the air.

 

[mikebeth16]

Foiled again. Last minute assignment for training in AL, so I won't be able to make this one after all. Or the July one either, for that matter. Two month training. Ugh. Crossing my fingers for Aug.

 

[Ocean View]

Won't be able to make this one. Looks like work is going to have to come first. I was really looking forward to seeing your set up Dave.

 

[dbuesking]

Won't be able to make this one. Looks like work is going to have to come first. I was really looking forward to seeing your set up Dave.

I understand your dilemma Hershel Work will always come first unless its family. I am sure there will be pics for you to look at. :lol: There will be other times I hope.

I'm working that Thursday too I switched with someone before this date was set and just found out. I am hoping for a personal tour really soon though!!!

 

[slosrtnick]

Laura and I will be there. Can't wait to see the tank Dave.

It happens Dave. I am taking Friday off in anticipation of a late night :beer:

Looking forward to everybody seeing my system.

 

[dbuesking]

Well time is running out but I did manage to get my lighting in order. My Apex is programmed and working.:eek1: Still no trim or door and with everything going on it looks like its not going to happen. I found out Friday night at the ER that I have a kidney stone and it is stuck. I have more work than I know what to do with and no time to deal with a Dr. Next week is going to be another hot one but I did take off Friday the 29th.

Looking forward to having the club over and shooting the bull.:beer:

I will have soda and beer in case anyone gets thirsty.:frog:

 

[twiggyb]

Can't wait! I'll be there probably when everyone gets there eatin on. I'll see everyone there!

Yeoouwch! Hope that thing passes and you're feeling better before the PN. I know first hand how painful kidney stones can be.

Looking forward to seeing everyone Thursday!

+1 and please let us know if your not feeling up to it, we can always reschedule. Your health has to come first bud!

 

[smoothdog]

Nope, no way. Only one PN cancellation per member. Ya gotta have this one, pain or no pain! :hammer: JK :bigeyes: Obviously, if you aren't feeling well we can just plan for another time.

 

[Nanook]

Dave, your dedication is more than apparent, but you need to take care of yourself. Too much stress and you might just drop dead Seriously, we can always reschedule if you're not feeling well!!! Then I could make it :beer:
