Not only that but if you don't get lost at least once you're not having a good time!

Here's a pic of my frag I got from Rick all settled in my tank:

I agree capncapo!

Congrats on that coral Chelsy, it looks great. I hope you enjoy it

 

[Chelsey]

Well those of us who went are back. Chelsy, Lonnie & Rich came home with some new frags. Ricks place was interesting indeed. Talk about water volume!! He also had some really nicely home made skimmer's. Rich was a nice host and was happy to answer any and all questions and give his opinions. I wish him only the best at succeeding in his goals.

The B-Q at Henry's.
I thought this was going to be a frag swap, However I didn't see any frags. Although Henry's 325 Gallon set up was exceptionally top notch if I don't say so my self. I thought chadfamer was going to pass out when he viewed Henry's equipment room! And Henry was too a wonderful host. They also had a DIY project on how to build a Caulk reactor, where they built one from scratch step by step. And they are going to post a thread in Cima as how and where to buy the supplies needed. All in all it was worth the trip IMO. Not to mention I enjoyed hanging out with the Slash members, Greg, Steve, Chelsy, ChadFarmer & Steves female friend (Not sure if there a couple forgot to ask) Melinda (Hope thats how she spells it).

It's Malinda, but you can spell it how ever you want. I answer to pretty much anything. I had a good time, it was nice meeting all of you.

heh, you all are a riot.
It was a good time to have you all up here. We simply must do it again in about a year.


So, Lonnie, Rich, Chelsey...how are the frags doing in your home tanks?


Also, I was thinking of making a St. Louis trip one of these weekends..... maybe during October-November. Anyone down there be willing to show a poor ol' wannabe frag farmer around to the local shops?

I took my frag and Rich's frag and put them in my tank while he was doing some tank changes. My frag is doing great.. His frag came off the rock and we can't find it.

Let us know when and a bunch of us could meet you for lunch and hit the shops.

[Im Lon 2]

[capncapo]

[rick rottet]

i just got done talking with saltyunderground and am going to go to see Borneman speak that morning then hit the shops afterwards. i would welcome you to come along. we could all meet up at the Maryland Heights Community Center if that would work for you.

 

[Chelsey]

Woo Hoo! :bounce1: I cannot think of anything more exciting than hitting the LFS with a bunch of reef buddies (As you can tell, I will be coming )

 

[rick rottet]

[Chelsey]
