There will be a drawing at each Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting among the attendees for multiple gift certificates and a gift worth $50-60.

We are going to do a raffle for premium members at the end of year meeting. Premium members will receive 1 raffle ticket for each time they attend a Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting. For those premium members that host a monthly meeting, they will receive 3 additional raffle tickets.

We will host September if people would be interested in coming to Hamilton. If we do that Sunday it would need to be at 3 to give us time to get home from church. Agame lives right across the street from me so I will check with him about letting the club check his tank out as well.

Matt,
That would be great! And it might be a two for one! I'll put it on the calendar.
Thanks!
Gary

[soldiers4christ50]

No problem.

We will offer to host the April 17th meeting. I live in Springboro. 3:00 start time would be great as we need time to get home from church as well.

As this is my first ever tank, and its getting full, and its only a 30 gallon (36" long and shallow) I would appreciate if everyone would comment on how beautiful it is and what a great job I'm doing.........and then recommend a larger tank.......when my wife is near by!

Try not to make it obvious

Mike,
Thanks for volunteering! I will put you on the calendar for 17 April at 3PM in Springboro. I will make a note to tell Tracy that you get the "Golden Thumb Award for Reefing"!

Thanks for doing this Gary, I have been really busy recently.

Put me down for the June meeting.  We live in Englewood

[Gary]

AJ,
Thanks you! I will get it setup on the calendar. Were you able to control the PO4 and get the Redfield Ratio to 16:1? I picked up some Potassium Nitrate and KCL last week. The tanks Potassium is low and Iodine is zero, but with modern chemistry they are on the rise (slowly)! I have not dosed the KNO3 yet.
Thanks,
Gary

[AJ]

Yes I was Gary! After a week or so the corals and macroalgae started consuming nitrates at a rate of 5ppm per day!!! I have continued dosing as well as started feeding normally again. Phosphates are down to 0.07 and falling. I hope to get them down to 0.02 by the weekend.

[Gary]

Wow! That is great news! Glad it worked out!

[Keith92]

I can host in May but it would need to be Saturday May 21st. If you want to have it at a restaurant that is great or I can host on the 21st at 12:00

[merlin3]

[Gary]

Were out of time on this one. The May Monthly Ohio Reef meeting will be held May 15 @ 2PM at the

China Garden Buffet
Airway Shopping Center
112 Woodman Dr, Dayton, OH 45431

I will put up a sign up post.
Thanks all,
Gary

I will host the year end meeting again if that is ok with everyone. It can be either Saturday the 10th or Sunday the 11th.

We will not have a meeting in October because of the Frag Swap.

I would like to get some feedback about having all of the meetings on Sunday. Is it better to have them on the same day every month so everyone will know exactly when they are or if using both Saturday and Sunday would allow more members to participate because of different work schedules. Please give feedback, it is your club and we want to get the most participation.
