just get a mess of KFC since i don't have a grill at the apartment.

Do you want me to get some grilled/tandoori chicken ? So long as you can warm it up in an oven it will be OK.

 

[manderx]

yeah sure thing. anyone is more than welcome to bring anything

 

[hubblex5]

I had to google grilled/tandoori chicken to see what it was, sounds good though. What are some things that go along with it and I'll bring it.

Appreciate you opening your home to us Matt, looking forward to seeing your excellent set up again and maybe purchasing a few frags.

see you Sunday...mark

and thanks to steve d for noticing the '250' printed on my bulbs. i was so excited when i got them that i stuck them in without even noticing they were the wrong size.

double-checked my premium aquatics invoice and i did indeed order 175's.

12K-175RL 175 watt 12,000K SE ReefLux Bulb - Japan 4 $58.95 $235.80

i hope running them for a couple weeks on the 175w ballasts didn't ruin them (if bulbs don't run hot enough the metals don't vaporize correctly and can deposit on the glass). dunno if i want to try to send them back to get the 175s i ordered so i can run them now, or just sit on them till i can afford new 250w ballasts (won't be anytime soon). i *would* like to be able to run 250s in the winter and 175s in the summer for heat issues. i tossed the old set of iwasaki14's in last night, and they looked horrible yellow for the first hour or so until my eyes adjusted, then they looked pretty good, just no blue.

and another thing, i found a few frogspawn/torch frags in my sump? who brought those and what do they want me to do with them?

Thanks Matt, for everything - and for fixing my skimmer collection cup.

Been a while since I was able to make it in to a meeting so it was good to see the new faces, though I did not get to talk to everyone, and nice to catch up with the "repeat offenders" ...

Thanks Matt, tank looks great. I would expect nothing else from you.
Thanks Ade

 

[Doc's69]

that was ade saying they were his frags and he left them for you

 

[Steve Seymour]

Thanks Matt for the meet It was great and good to see everybody. Tank looks awesome.

 

[sjdyer]

Tank looks great. Can't wait to see it after six months and check out new growth.

 

[NANOFOOL]

i brought the frogspawn and left before i could figure out who didnt have any. i dont care what you do with it but mine was taking over!

 

[ade]

Matt I left you a few frags of pink/green branching hammer, I was hopeing that you can give them to any new people in your area. Also i saw that you had a 10# and 5# bottle of co2, are you using both? if not are you interested in selling the 5# bottle?

 

[manderx]

lemme think about it some, but probably. i do like having it around as a spare so i can take my time getting the other refilled, the only place i knew about before was in radford (and has horrible hours) but there's another place in bburg i hear that does it so it's not such a pita anymore.

Thanks again Matt. Good time and tank is looking great.
