Here's a little update on the equipment the club will be bringing. We'll be bringing a frag tank that's about 30" x 24" x 8" deep. We'll have a couple PAR38 LED bulbs in the light rack to show off your corals. Members are welcome to stick their corals in the tank if they wish. At your own risk. :) First come first served. I'll be pulling water straight from my tank that morning so you can be assured the water quality will be acceptable. Salinity will be 1.024-1.025. Temp 78-79 deg. There will be plenty of room. The club's corals for the grow-out competition will be held in a separate tank.

Those attending can feel free to bring their own tanks if they wish, but table space is limited. The space inside will also be limited, because it's in our former President's work-shop on his new property not a giant convention center. We can't guarantee that you'll have enough room for the 120 gal frag tank you might be bringing. We'll have a few drop cords and power strips, but if you're concerned about powering your tank, you might want to bring your own. Please no MH or power heavy lights. Also, because this isn't in a convention center, we have limited access to tables. Feel free to bring one if you have it.
 
Here's the address for the meeting. The host has requested that people use the on-street parking if they aren't bringing any equipment to save room actually on the property for those who have to haul gear.

Update:


I am just coming back from a trip to San Diego. I stopped by Aqua SD and couldn't help myself. I picked up an Acan everyone here would love to get their hands on.

I have to work but am trying to talk my wife and son in going.... He could use a few more corals for his tank!!!!!!!
 
Thanks "sid". :) We wish you guys could have made it over to this side of the mountains today. It's a long trip.

Just to clarify to EVERYONE. We still have heard that some people aren't coming because they're afraid they have to pay something. This is a free event. Everyone is welcome. There are benefits to being a payed member to the PSAS, but this meeting itself is open to everyone for free. We really just want to have a place where everyone can get together and enjoy the hobby. So, if you are on the fence, please come and enjoy the day.
 
Tank you everyone who came! Tank you Tom for opening ur home! Tank you coral bringers and donators! FOOD and CORAL!
Even the garage salers were having fun!
