Click to expand...


Maybe the Bowling Alley All Star Lanes, Azteca, Silver City Brewery or Red Robin in Silverdale??? Just trying to help, if you need to know where one or the other is let me know.
 
What's the word on the pre-meeting? pow wow in the parking lot? or... are we thinking elsewehere?

if we are voting, my vote would be Red Robin if its close by -gotta love those bottomless fries :D
 
So are we getting together before or just drinking beer in the parking lot like a football game
 
I really wish Colleen was still involved in running the meetings...I had to leave before the meeting started as I could not invest any more time. I enjoyed seeing people pack into Eric's store, but when the meeting is slated for 4PM, IMO it really out to start at 4PM. I heard some grumbling from other members as well and I have no idea what really happened other than the equipmennt wasn't working.

I hope that there was some benefit to those who stayed. This was a topic I was really keen on learning more about, and I was quite disappointed to have to drive away.
 
Thanks to everyone that came out to the meeting. THat was a crazy night. I wish I could have listened to Jake but I had to get all those corals and fish bagged so I could get to a dance I had to DJ for the youth of my church. Some of you were probably wondering why I was hoofing it out to my car at the end. I go there 1 minute before it was supposed to start. THey were totally cool about it.

Sorry to for the salt buckets being gone so fast. This year I bought a whole pallet and it was gone before 4 pm. I think next year if we can do it again I will try for 2 pallets.

Thanks again to all of you who came and made it a fun event. A big thanks to Jake, Very nice guy and fun to talk with. One of the coolest things for me tonight was having the main speaker buy 2 of my corals. How cool is that!!! Makes me feel pretty good. Thanks Jake!!!

Hope to see you all again sometime, don't be strangers!!! You are always welcome to come over.

Almost forgot, thanks to those who traveled so far like Ed and especially to Tracy who drove 7 hours to get here. That's an honor to me and my shop that you would drive that far becasue of your experience last year. Thanks also to those of you who still made a decent size journey from the other side of the water, I know it takes time/money for you too, Thanks again!

Take care.


For those of you who were not able to stay for the presentation, I'm sorry. It was out of my control. I had the things I was asked to provide there and ready. (a room and a screen) I know that a computer was suppose to be hooked up to a projector and it didn't work with 2 different laptops. For those of you who were able to stay, I hope you found it well worth it. Thanks again for those of you who helped bring this event together.

P.S. Due to things discussed in the presentation I will be selling cinder blocks next week instead of Live Rock.:lol::lol::lol:
 
 
I did some digging and found 5 of jake's article's on flow. I thought he mentioned that he had 7 in his talk, but I may be mistaken as I could only locate 5. Sharing the links w/ the group for all that are interested in learning more..

Eric did see part of the presentation, lmao.
Jake Adams is a young, exciting speciallized guest speaker. You can contact him on Reef Frontiers as Coralite. You can also find him on Reef Central. You were given a chance to communicate with him one on one at Shark Reef and Red Robin.

Jakes topic yesterday discussed Fluid Dynamics of a reef tank. Why corals grow funny shapes on one side due to turbulance, What works to increase coral growth. He also gave some one on one about coral health,Red Bugs,Guest speakers, helped people pick corals. Jake is really a cool guy. :)

All kidding aside.
Jake did one hell of a presention out of a box without slideshow. I am sure you will see more of him in the future. Jake really wanted to show the equipment he uses to measure flow. He wave his notebook around showing.
So my concern was to Jake to be comfortable. I saw many smiling faces from members, thanks for encouragment you guys rock! I believe those that hung around were encouraged to rearrange their tanks.

Those that hung around saw a specialist give you his formula for a frag tank.
That formula being A 33 inch long glass cage aquarium that consisted of two maxijets producing a ideal flow for rapid growth.

Those that hung around learned that corals respirate. We also learned the more lighting the more flow required. I would highly recommend Jake for a lecture again.

Here are some of the things I picked up on while Jake was sharing his experience one on one. I was ease dropping, he he. Amino acids are essential to corals growth and health.

Here is what I want people to know. In the past there have been complaints bout guest speakers being hurded in like cattle. Yesterday Randy, Paul, Dang and I tried to make Jake comfortable. We do listen to peoples comments of critisism. There are only a few of us on the board.

The elections results yesterday were Randy as President. Myself (Ed) as Vice President, Ken being Activity Director. I think Ken just wants to drink beer with guest speakers, lol. There are several areas we need help.
Randy was Treasurer. We need help. Paul is now website coordinator. So if you want to participate? If you are cheap and want a free membership,want to learn what is going on behind the scenes? We could use your help.
We being Randy, Paul, Ken, and I will do our best to bring a exciting new year.

We want our guest speakers to come back readily. This area will improve due to Ken I can promise you this. Colleen has promised to help behind the scenes when time allows. God bless her heart!:)

The host Shark Reef was awesome! Deals a plenty. I think people bought fish, corals,or clams, salt and went home because of it myself. Eric and Matt hung around a hour later for those that wanted to hear lecture and buy stuff still. Eric wanted to hear presentation but was busy bagging animals. Shark Reef also donated for support of PSAS in future a Aqua Pod . I hope to see pictures of that in the future.

Pictures? oh yeah... I did not take very many. I was interested in his lecture.
 
Guest Speakers like to see other Reef Tanks.

Paul and I picked up Jake Yesterday. Our plan was to take Jake to as Many local Reef Tanks as Possible. Dang and I played phone tag this week. When We did connect he was more than ready to help out. :)

Its fun to compare corals that are popular from one location and plentiful from another. Jake saw a few from Dang that caught his eye.
