Alright, sounds good. I'll make sure to be something exotic for the giveaway. Will there be room to set up a small tank, or do most people just have stuff in bags?
 
Awesome new setup - I guess you have to physically jump into the tank to maintain everything. It looks great - even more impressive than the previous plywood lunchbox you showed.
 
Count me in too

Count me in too

I would like to come along with the hubby and son.

I can bring macaroni salad unless someone else already is, in which case let me know what else I should bring.

Hi Lisa, I saw you very briefly and shook your hand today. I'll see you
Labor day.
 
Hey Kent, my girlfriend and I should be able to make it. We were planning on setting up a 10 gallon tank since we have lots of frags to bring. Looking foward to meeting everyone.
 
Labor Day as in Monday....

Put me down for 1 adult + 3 kids. Wife may or may not join us, but nothing else is going on that day so I think it sounds like a great time.
 
Hey Kurt, I look forward to seeing you. I hope you bring along the camera, it would be the challenge of challenges for you. For some reason whether the depth or micro bubbles, no one seems to be able to get really good pics inside the tank. If anyone could it would be you.

We'll have activities for the kids.
 
Do you have a lookdown box? A pretty wide one at least say 5" on the shortest side?

If not, could someone else bring one...

Mine is on loan and may not have it back by then.

But always have a camera on me for events like this one ;)
 
It's getting close to the time that I need to decide if I'm coming. :)

I don't have a SW tank set up yet to put any frags in, but I could probably collect knowledge at the meet.
 
I'd agree, you can learn a ton by looking and asking questions, there will be a lot of people with great knowledge there.
 
Kent-
I'm going to try to make it, perhaps with the kids. I'll post up on the FLR forum when I know for sure.

Do you have an RSVP deadline?

Thanks!

(That condy is still doing great. It's only moved about 2" from my original placement!)
 
No deadline really, but it's very helpful the sooner people can let me know.
 
My backstory:

I've been researching saltwater for a long time. I joined a couple saltwater boards in 2004. Got up to the point where I was answering newbie questions on the other board, and helping people do the math on their plumbing builds. I made up my equipment list, down to every little elbow and widget, and choked on the price. That and I don't have AC, and the chiller just pushed my dream over the edge. So, I eventually switched over to a combo freshwater/saltwater board, slowly drifted out of saltwater conversation, and then dropped the board altogether when a challenging (read crazy and aggressive) dog came to our home, and all my research energy went into figuring out how to prevent and/or fix maladies like his. I now have one angelic greyhound, and one happy, healthy great dane puppy, so my attention is turning back towards my aquarium, and we're hoping to move out of the house with no AC within the year. If the finances are in tact after that move, I'll be able to start a saltwater tank, so it's time to get my head back in the game.

I've also read a lot more about nano tanks since then, and wonder if I might start dabbling there, instead of going for the recommended big beginner tank. They can be more challenging, but I usually have the most fun at a hobby while it's still challenging for me. I've done a bit of FW nano stuff, my 2.5 gallon is nice, my 0.25 gallon was nice before I changed jobs and it's lighting situation. I did a 0.5 brine shrimp tank once, and although it was not very successful, I think I learned a lot from it. I think a 10/20 might be doable.
 
Unfortunately Nathan B, had something come up. He's the food master, is anyone interested in helping cook burgers and dogs?
 
Kent, not 100% sure I can make it (if not I will drop off the Par meter prior)
But if I do make it, have tons of experience "torching burgers" with the scouts. Nothing like 60 starving boys telling you exactly how they want theirs cooked:):):)
