May Meeting, BBQ at CRA!

[kevinpratt823]

Hoping to make it, sounds like fun and I haven't been there in a while.
Anybody looking to learn about flatworms, hop in on the tank tour this Sunday, my house is the last stop, and I have learned quite a bit about them this month

Dave,
I was talking with Jeremy today about my LED build and we came up with the idea on doing comparisons and such of the setup ~ LED vs MH~ at the meeting. Jeremy will provide the tank for setup and I can bring in my 2 LED setups~ 24 and 48 piece sets. Can also discuss the differences I've seen in the original 24 setup vs the new setup with the new cree Q5s ( no solid data just visual and what I'm seeing as far as coral reaction)

What we need help with is a PAR meter and a WATT meter and someone that can run the 2 of them. We can compare the 2 setups to a 250w MH setup at the shop.

What do you all think and can you help us out with this?

I have a kill-o-watt meter I can bring.

This sounds like a great plan.

I have one as well, I'll bring it as well, we can run a side by side comparison.

[s_kelley]

Meetings are all over the place usually, it seems like they do a few here and there to try to keep everyone happy. Check out the meetings calendar, it usually lists where the ones are being held

[STiTCH87]

I'll be there for sure. Wish I had something to frag out for a trade... -_-

I have some red/green palys I would trade for Zoas if anyone is interested. It's those long long palys. Maybe i'll make a thread...

 

[Royalty]

I was wondering which was better LED or MH lights this should diff be at the meeting ..

 

[Royalty]

Im going to be a paid member in a few days waiting on my pay check to go throw but I notice that some sponsers give 10% off as long as I show my card my question is how do I get the card ?? do I get it in the mail and would I have to show it at the meet and greet ???

 

[JohnK]

The card will come in the mail. Sometimes it takes a week or two so be patient.

You don't need to show your card at meetings.

 

[walzy444]

Flatworms seem to be a theme this month. Do you think there could be a little segment on proper treatment/experiences?

I'm trying my hardest to get to this meeting to finally meet people. The location is a big +!

I just got flatworm infested depending on if I have to work or not, I'll be there.

 

[sephly]

mmmm anyone can go right? not just members? newbies too? ....i might be able to bring spanish food

 

[Turbosnail]

Any member can come.Its always a good time.Remember paid members get a 10% discount on livestock at CRA plus you get other perks with paid membership to.

 

[DemiseAngel]

Being active on the forum is a great way to start friendships. When you go to a meeting just introduce yourself to someone and ask about what size tank they have.

It's not just about size, Brian!

It's not just about size, Brian!

He's just referring to a conversation starter.

In this club it's good to start here, or ask what type of lighting someone has. It's all downhill from there.
