The truck broke down in California that had the tank on it. Delayed till next week at least.

Hate getting the call during the super bowl about that. She made it sound like the truck blew up or something. lol

Come on Jay already two of us fellow reefer car enthusiasts willing to help with the pain job. Of course it is a bit cool right now for any painting but we could sure start sanding and the sort.
:wave:
 
Thanks for the offers on painting this thing "“ still deciding on which way to go!!! :) Sorry if we got carried away and hijacked the frag tank thread! Did you get any firm delivery day? Let me know if you need any help moving it.

Well Just a quick update on the STARS Frag Tank.

The Tank is in and it is sitting @ Steffens (puffin04) house waiting to get drilled and the overflow installed.
The Light fixture is being looked over by John (Strayvoltage) to make sure it is functioning properly.
Chuy (Chuy Marquez) is donating a Dart return pump, I still need to get with him on picking it up.
Justin (psuedopimp) donated a quiet one return pump that is in my possesion and is currently being dipped in vinegar
Jay (Jmait) donated a 40gal sump that is waiting to get picked up
Erik(mistaflicksta) and Daniel (coralreef915) donated a Octopus NWB 150 Protein skimmer which was ordered today.

Andy just anounced that he might be moving to El Paso so that will also determine how long before the tank is set up.

I would like to thank all of the people who have contributed to the cause and helping this club grow. We really apreciate all that you have done.

Some things that we will still need for the tank would be, some kind of reactor to run carbon, power heads, lightbulbs (I beleive that John said the light was all Power compacts), supplements, salt, Test Kits. If any of you have some of this stuff laying around or would like to buy and contribute to the club, please let us know.

We are very close to geting the tank up and running.

Thank You

I can donate $40 to the frag tank, no extra equipment right now, and i would rather you guys use the cash for whatever you need for the tank.

Ivan
 
Ivan, You got PM

Beto, Max thanks for your offerings any little bit helps.

Remember guys if you donate and we end up not using it, the donation will be returned to you so please dont be affraid to donate.

Well as far as the light goes, John told me that the light was a Power Compact fixture and that it needed ballasts and bulbs. Well the expense of getting new parts for the fixture is very high and the light will also not be able to maintain most SPS corals, so we are going to try and go for some T5 or some MH for the tank.

I am working on getting a club account started so people that want to do monetary donations to the club can do so. I was thinking about starting a Club Paypal account since most businesses accept it. let me know what you guys think.

Erik
 
PayPal does this for clubs? Also, Google has the same thing and you know Google owns everything! LOL That's not a bad Idea but I think you still need a bank account to verify either account right?
 
Well I am still in the Research stage of this, I am reading up on how to start a non profit club account. I remeber that we used to have one with bank of america in one of my old Army units so I know it can be done but I still dont have all my facts straight. Once I feel confident on the subject then I will bring it as a subject to vote on in a future meeting. Until then it is just an idea taht I threw out there.

Erik
 
Yeah, most banks allow you to have any account. It does not matter if it is for a club. However, what would be beneficial is to have 2 signers to authorize transactions. Most times, it is for a non-charitable group, the banking institution will wave its fees.

I think and if I am correct, they set up a "club" account as a commercial account. Many times, because of the multiple signatures required. This is where you have to state that it is for a non-for-profit group, like our club. That's when most often, they will wave the fees. Well at least that what a friend once told me, she works for a bank.
