    Hey Just a note, there was some incorrect information on the address for Rick's place in Muscatine, so If you have downloaded or printed the directions already.  Please get them again. 
    Thanks

    Wow, she 'likes' my tank(well liked) but wasn't a wealth of knowledge or anything necessarily helpful, but maybe when it comes time to get my replacement corals she'll come in handy! Either a diversion while I "shop" in your tank or maybe she can clean your glass for frags or something. BAHAHAHA[​IMG]
    and ya didn't it say Rick lived in Mesculine in the old post? Isn't that a drug? Well I guess a lot of the chemical knowledge and equipment can probably serve a dual purpose or atleast a good cover story!

    Nice, hang her out with a sign, "Will work for frags", or the infamous "Free Tank wash".
    Hey, by now you have to be realizing that you have to be "smok'in" something to stay in this hobby!

    Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for coming! I had a great time and I hope everyone learned a little some thing about how to work with acrylic.

    Thanks to Jeremy for putting this on and Girs for the food!! For those that didn't make it, you missed out on JB's famous BBQ! Thanks JB!
    It was nice to meet some new faces and make some new friends.

    Agree...it was a great meeting and was good to know that there's a lot more that goes into working with acrylic than I originally thought. Rick, you sure have a great setup for working with it. I really like your new table...how you have your table saw and soon will have your router built right in..very nice. And your tank is looking good. It looks like you had as much or more fun before you added the water as you have since. Definitely well thought out. And let me know if you ever want to get rid of that dendro frag...I like it a lot!

    Yeah, thanks everyone for coming and thanks Jeremy for setting it all up. Rick- we were going to come for the BBQ and to see your tank, but the weather looked questionable, so we decided w/ an infant and toddler we'd stay home. Also, Sorry JB and Jeremy about the directions (and anyone else!) I listened to your message after you left and I feel bad you went all the way to Lone Tree, lol.........glad you made it after all that though!

    OK,
    I would like to say thank you to Fawn and Rick for opening up your homes to us.  If had yet to see either of your systems and I really enjoyed getting out to see them.
    Secondly sorry to all about the directions to Fawns, don't know what happened there, I hope it did not inconvenience any of you. 
    Third, special thanks to Rick, I know it was hot out in that garage, especially while working with power tools.  You housed us for most of afternoon and it was greatly appreciated by all of us.  Your home and tank were lovely and your setup was inspirational to all of us, disregarding my joke in previous post.
    A big thanks to JB, he maned the grill and made us all some tasty treats for dinner, JB - you can cook me dinner any time! [​IMG]
    Josh, please tell the girlfriend thank you for being such a good sport about the whole date-for-a-day thing, I owe her a frag for being such a great sport, maybe if she comes over and a picks a frag of her own off my trays and watches it grown, you will have a reef chick in the making and she will grow as addicted as the rest of us.
    Lastly, thanks to all who drove the distance for the event, I think it was another great event and it was nice to meet some new faces.  Sorry all about forgetting the name badges.  As I told some of you, my family and I foster Basset hounds and we lost our first one because she was adopted.  So it was a happy and sad day for me, I was happy to see her find a permanent home, however, she had been with us about six months and we had grown very attached to her.
    Thanks all.

    I am looking for some pictures from the event. Specifically, right after the demo, during the rainstorm, right before the bbq. Anyone?

    And don't forget Ice this time!

    HAHAHA! Sorry buddy! I don't suppose you got your reactor up and running yet?

    Sadly I may need to wait a bit for her to go get her free frag, that purple cap fawn was so gracious to give me isnt doing so hot. The slimer is still looking good, but I NEED to figure out just what the h3ll is going on in that tank /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/sad.gif.

    Nope, haven't yet.  Actually my Calc is high right now and am trying to reduce.  Rick took all my money [​IMG], so I have to save up to get C02, media and pump now.
