Sounds great Matt. Thanks again to everybody for all the offered help.
I spent most of Sunday rebuilding the display we had last year for the table. It looks much nicer this year (I think). I had to rebuild it because the old one got wet/crushed from traveling and didn't look too good anymore.
I got a very limited response for the fuge photos; very disappointed there but not surprised. So I went to the internet and printed out a bunch of samples. I still have time to print them out and add them to the photo album so feel free to send me some. I'm just doing a simple little book of 4x6 photos of sample fuges.
If I get the time I'll also take Brad's fragging photos to make a table stand display to add something else. I'd like to finish up the refugium handout today. I have the paper ready, just need to find time to get to the copier.
I'll also do the flyer for the event and have that ready.
I decided I'm not going to bother with a "who we are" handout this time, I think we have enough stuff already. The event handout should be sufficient for now..provided we have people there to talk it up. I may also add a blurb to the bottom of the fuge handout..if I have the space. If Jon or anybody else would like to do a half sheet on NCPARS to hand out..feel free..I have enough on my plate.
We'll also have some business cards to hand out this time.
That's all for now. We're still missing lights if anybody has something that will go over Carl's 29 let us know.

I updated the refugium handout. Please take one last look. I'll be printing Friday. The link is the same:

Sweet this is a definite nice project.
Very nice looking brochure folks!
I will see you at TFPlace. 4/1.
I am intending on setting up a new refugium on my soon-to-purchased 75G reef, so don't forget to have some good recomendations on where to get your "starter kit", hardware and critters. TFPlace is poorly stocked for 'fuge stuff. I have looked for Macroalgaes 3 weekends straight, and nothing.
Regards
Fred

Best place to get macro is from somebody else who's got it. We throw the stuff out...stores sell it for upwards of $30. I actually bought a bunch from TFP that did make it...then I got some from some reefer at a swap over 2 years ago and it's been growing since.
I have the grape stuff though (caulerpa racemosa) which can be problematic and some folks avoid it. I had some cheato....I need to see if the racemosa took it over or if it's still in there. Every live thing in my fuge came from other hobbyists.
...and welcome to RC.

What else I will try to do is get together some samples of the life forms from my fuge. Amphipods, mysis or mysid (which ever is the smaller species) shrimp, bristleworms, hermits, snails and stomatela. Each will be in individual vials or tubes to make them easy to see.
Fizz not to sound like an *** or anything but our table is going to be near a power source correct? It would really suck to get things set up and have no power.

I thought about that Carl! I need to contact TFP again. They never responded to my last email about getting a discount on some of the CPR equipment and providing water. We had electric last time, so I'm sure we can rig something depending where they put us. I'll call this week.
I re-worked the flyer for the swap tonight. I can't show it though because I can't make PDFs on this PC...sorry folks... I also didn't get times from Mo so I'll need to finish that up when I get it.
I'm going to do something with Brad's fragging photos on Wednesday..I'm going to send them to Walmart tonight and I'll pick them up later. The "greeter" at my local Walmart seems pretty cool about me picking up stuff after hours since I'm out of town during photo lab hours. Gotta love the internet!!
I'll hit HD this week too to rig some plubming for the return pump. Carl...can you give me an idea for a measurement from floor to tank lip on the tank and stand you're brining?
Here's hoping to all this comes together!!!!

I had asked for refugium pictures in the very first post of this thread. I didn't get that many so I was forced to print some fromt he internet. I have time to add more. Just give me 1 or 2 good shots of how it's set up.
And I think I have enough photos of the fragging now. I won't have alot of space on the table so I have to keep it simple.
Thanks.

Hey Carl you still gonna have some cheato to bring to this event?? I am not sure what time I will get there on Saturday. Wanted to make it in time for the fragging thing at noon but now I am going to pick up my back that day as well so not sure when I will make it.
Kevin the height of the tank from the lip to the floor is 48 3/4".
Mike yes I will have some. First priority goes to the refuigiums for the displays. I will also have a few bags that have little to no critters in it. It is raised by a friend. I will store it in my fuge to try to collect some extra life.

Hey Carl.... I've been passing emails with the guy in charge of the fishroom. I'm going to head down Friday night and see what stuff he has. If I can setup a whole system Friday night, you may just need to bring your live stuff and not have to worry about lugging equipment.
Be sure to check on here LATE Friday night and I'll let you know if we need any of your equipment.
I figure getting setup the night before and not having to have you lug your stuff down will save time and energy. Saturday morning tends to be a zoo at TFP.
Brad...I'll send the files to the Walmart photo lab now..thanks.
