Has anybody toured Tidal Gardens in Copley OH? It’s a 3 hour drive but looks like an awesome facility based on their YouTube channel.


120 gallon mixed reef.

That is a great idea! It is just south of Cleveland. I don't think they have completed their new facility. There is a virtual tour online.  Maybe do a car pool. Mike, it would still be more than 3 hours, even if you flew.

What's all needed to host a meeting?  Location with a reef tank? Also what all takes place?

What's all needed to host a meeting? 

The desire to host a meeting. Normally the host is a member and wants to socialize with other people and share their hobby experiences. If no one wants to host a meeting, we will select a place to meet, such as, Marion's Piazza, Don Pablos, etc. 

Location with a reef tank?

No.

Also what all takes place?

Viewing the aquarium setup, discussion with other hobby enthusiast, snacks, and a drawing for a gift card or other hobby related item.

Great! I just need a date, time, and general location so I can start a signup sheet. (Some people prefer their address not be publicized. Please PM me the address so I can provide it to the attendees.)
Thank you!

Was great getting to meet you, and can't wait to see the monster tank once it's done!

Here are some of the productions I was talking about:

Nori fish feeder by Two Little Fishies:
https://www.marinedepot.com/Two_Little_Fishies_Pouch_Feeder_Fish_Food_Clips_Feeding_Stations-Two_Little_Fishies-TL50727-FIFDFECF-vi.html

Since you use frozen food exclusively, this may help too:

Thaws and broadcast feeds the tank, just stick it into top level flow

SCWD wavemaker (Squid), alternates water flow:

PolyFilter (bio and chemical filter):
https://www.marinedepot.com/Poly_Filter_Filter_Pad_Mechanical_Filter_Media-Poly_Bio_Marine-PB1111-FIFMMEPM-vi.html

There are a lot of other products that I would be more than happy to recommend, depending on what you need, just let the club know; and if I don't know it I am sure someone else on here does.  ;D

Will see you around here!

Tyler,
Great get together! Thanks for welcoming us into your home. Thank Corin for letting us borrow you for the day. I agree with Jordan, that giant tank is going to be impressive! You do have a lot of tanks to play with.
Have a great weekend,
Gary

Tyler Dido, many thanks for hosting the event today! It is pretty impressive when you see 3 different size tanks with water in them up and functioning very well. Your current 265g build should be pretty exciting as it comes together!!! Good Luck and keep us posted on the progress.

Thanks everyone I enjoyed the day it was nice sharing with fellow hobbyists. There will he pictures and videos to come on the 265 from start to date. I'm glad everyone who made it was able to come I appreciated all the input and support with my current tanks.
