I have been trying to get that coleslaw recipe for a long time. Its the only coleslaw that I like and its like my Grandmother used to make. Wish I liked to cook when she was still alive.

I will be there, not sure about Vivian and will try to bring something yet 2-b decided.

The Skyborn drive-in is still open. (as far as I know.)

The food better be good at this wedding. or else.....

rayviv · « **Reply #20 on:** July 16, 2009, 11:22:13 »

You tell'em Bro!!

I know I'm looking forward to seeing this setup as well. I sure hope it doesn't make me run out and get a larger tank though. Don't act like you guys dont know what I'm talking about. Its this fever thing that seems to be contagious. Does any know of a cure for it?

rayviv · « **Reply #21 on:** July 16, 2009, 11:56:01 »

Did you settle on a 'show up time'?

pontiac2002gtp · « **Reply #22 on:** July 16, 2009, 12:06:43 »

I was thinking 5 but I can do some other time if its better for people that are going to the wedding so they could make it. Let me know if another time would be better.

rayviv · « **Reply #23 on:** July 16, 2009, 12:33:42 »

5 is fine w/me. I'm older and retire early. See; Thats senior talk.

UDJustin · « **Reply #24 on:** July 16, 2009, 18:45:24 »

wedding starts at 430 lol so its gonna be tough to swing lol I have to be there at two for some reason grooms have to show up early

jd · « **Reply #25 on:** July 16, 2009, 21:52:07 »

Five is good with me. Gotta be home by 8, fair warning. I'm still gonna try a phyto demo. I just had my culture crash when I was away so I don't have any to give out.

lazylivin · « **Reply #26 on:** July 17, 2009, 03:25:02 »

5 is good for me.

JoeAyers · « **Reply #27 on:** July 17, 2009, 14:57:52 »

Sorry all but I can not make it. I have a 30th b-day party to go to. I hope to see all of you and meet the ones I have not met yet at the frag swap on the 25th.

Since you and HIM weren't there I was able to win the GC to Coral Ranch. Thank You Very Much!

Thanks for hosting, Phil! The food was great and Phil had saltwater tanks in just about every room of his house. The reef tank looks great. Nice selection of fish too!!!

and how cool was it for your gsm clowns to lay eggs for us!

Wall_Tank · « **Reply #46 on:** July 19, 2009, 12:18:32 »

Thanks for hosting Phil. The tank looked great.

During the meeting, there were a few side conversations about calcium and alkalinity. Here is a link to some good articles. Even in the articles that have alot of chemisty and equations, the summaries are good reading.

These two in specific, might be of some help for dosing Ca and Alk.

Great meeting, good food and conversation. The clowns laying eggs were really cool. I would have thought they would want a little more privacy but seem to like us watching.

micki · « **Reply #50 on:** July 19, 2009, 15:25:50 »

That's odd...My clowns laid eggs yesterday too!

rayviv · « **Reply #51 on:** July 20, 2009, 11:00:14 »

WOW thats neat! Which kind of clowns are they? Do you expect any to survive?

pontiac2002gtp · « **Reply #52 on:** July 20, 2009, 11:16:44 »

I'm going to try and move some of the eggs to the refugium a few days before they hatch and see if any survive I can cut the flow way down and there are a ton of small pods in there. Assuming I can get the eggs off the rock without killing them or the clowns ripping the skin off my hand.

Aquatic Specialists · « **Reply #53 on:** July 20, 2009, 12:13:58 »

Don't forget that if any of these fish hatch they will need to eat LIVE rotifers, if you want to ensure there survival and demanding nutritional needs. The rotifers are gutloaded with live nannochloropsis for optimum nutrion. I always have plenty on hand if you are going to be needing any.

hehe, they can be like little pirranhas

rayviv · « **Reply #55 on:** July 20, 2009, 14:55:20 »

Speaking of piranhas;
A red belly piranha was caught by an acquaintance in the GR. Miami River a couple weeks ago. Accord to local Fish and Game Dept. it was larger than most. I seen it .He has it in his freezer. I dont remember the length (inches) the F&G said but its supposed to be in some mag this month. It was about 10 inches by my sight which is pretty good by experience.

So is it true what you read about their eating habits?
