Podcasts, videos, product reviews and articles provide answers to many of the questions raised by hobbyists worldwide.

If words and pictures weren’t enough, Marc also delved into additional media:

Podcasting: From 2006 to 2009, about three dozen shows were released on Reefcast.com Do a search on iTunes for "reefcast" to find past episodes. Mostly audio downloads in mp3 format, but some were vidcasts. Then beginning in 2010, Reef Addicts’ podcast commenced, and can be found on iTunes as well. Search for "reefaddicts" for shows.

Hey guys, it is about six weeks out to the next meeting. Reefing will be starting up heavy again and the excitement will be building.

We are meeting at a new venue and we are hoping to have a couple of our sponsors on hand as well.

Beside we will be meeting in one of the most heavily populated LFS (sponsors) area of New England.

Should be a good time.

Wait until November!!! Details to follow.

See you all soon!

Hey, be nice to me.

I'm still waiting to hear what the secrets/mysteries are to these upcoming meetings... inquiring addicts want to know!

 

[Flame Angel]

Maybe I will let everyone in on the secret on Sunday the 14th?

No secrets really. Just do not want to get everyone's hopes up and then rip the carpet out from under you.

 

[22engine]

Wish it wasn't so far away for me this month.

 

[Phinfan]

But NH is always a nice ride. And you can visit some fish stores before you come home.

 

[Flame Angel]

That is right!!!!

There are at least three sponsors with in a five minutes and two sponsors about fifteen minutes away from the meeting venue.

We have invited a couple to attend.

I also believe Jason was going to reach out to them and say... Hey, stay open an extra hour on Sunday.

But NH is always a nice ride. And you can visit some fish stores before you come home.

 

[22engine]

This is true

 

[jdmitch]

Still have plenty of items needed for the fish goo. We also have a new food processor to test out.

 

[reefstarter]

I'll try to bring something for fish goo .

 

[jamesdong009]

Let's add some more raffle prizes!

We have some BioKit Reef and BioKit Reef Nano donated by the folks at Prodibio.

[cstmpprl]

Let's give this a big bump. Meeting is sunday. ...... this is our first time, ( for this BOD) That we are trying NH. I say try because we need a great turnout In order to justify coming back. . A few of us BOD members are making a 2 hour drive for the meeting. Bob and I will have to leave early ( we have a wake to attend) so if you need membership done, don't be late. See you all sunday.
