Wait Wait, I met you long before the bore fest that is now LIRA.
:lmao:

?
 
I was joking around Joe, but you have to admit, things have become a tad bit stagnant.:)

K, I always have some man love laying around for you somewhere.;)
 
Hey Lonnie--thanks for the reminder--I forgot about that fuge bulb. My "fuge" tank (now just macro tank with some fish that don't play nicely with others) is actually under a 3ft shoplight t12 from Home Depot--regular output bulbs too. Looks fine.

Doug's not around so I have to hold up the "ghetto reef" end of the family.

Here for some contrast to Lonnie's tank: Doug's old ghetto tank. Ah, good times:

And every tank needs a sump:

(Now he's moved on to two built-in 180's and a full fish room in the works )
 
Very impressive Lonnie ! It's not easy keeping a mixed reef like that , but you made it look soo easy .

Cheers,
Joe

Not to take away from Lonnies thread and a truly nice tank, but I'm not sure in what way LIRA is a bit stagnant? The monthly meetings have had speakers renowned in their fields, Family Fun Day at AMW, a BBQ at the Fishing Center, a collecting trip that also had Sanjay Joshi and Bob Stark (Founder of ESV and B-Ionic) in attendance. We have several speakers already lined up for 2007, as well as NERAC III on the horizon.
I'm open to any and all constructive comments so that the members don't feel like the club is stagnant. If there are any comments, they should probably be taken to the members only forum.
Also, good to see Joefish is out there!
Thanks,
Joe

Not to take away from Lonnies thread ...
No worries... I've been accused in the past of hijacking a thread or two myself... come to think of it, I think you were one of the accusers ;)

But, on another note, and not to side-track my own thread, where were you Tuesday night???

I had a my eye on a coral or two in YOUR reef tank and I was hoping you could frag me a piece ;)

I was out front having so much fun refurbishing and epoxy painting the seal pool, then I was off to our offsite holding facility.
LMK which corals and I'll bring some to the next meeting, hope the night went well.

Joe,
I'm not a LIRA member anymore, so my comments don't count.;)

I have heard attendance has been low and the meetings have been slightly short on fringe benefits. Unlike this time last year.

Joe(and BOD), I know we have not always seen eye to eye, but I'd like to see LIRA become what it was before it's growing pains. Admit it or not, the club doesn't have the same hype and fun factor it had.

I'd like to see that come back. That was what drew me to it in the first place. I'll bet it also drew in a large portion of the surge of members last year too.

So, I'm sorry for taking a jab at LIRA, I guess deep down I'd like my old club back.

Thank you and we now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Ah, so that was you in that "space" suit out front.

The night was very well attended and a splendid time was had by all. I talked to a few other people there that had never been to the Aquarium, and they loved it. I'm sure they will be coming back with their families soon :)

What did I miss Tuesday?
Riverhead Job Fair (I had a vendor table) which was at Atlantis... even if you weren't looking for a job, it was a good excuse to see the tanks ... For FREE! :)

:( I need someone to start giving me the inside scoop on these things BEFORE they happen. I have a great pair of polka dot boxers that would have been perfect to wear for that, too! :lamo:

Too bad you all missed it. Now my tank looks like this:
