Post by: soldiers4christ50 on February 08, 2016, 22:33:32: 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.

Post by: soldiers4christ50 on February 08, 2016, 22:42:48: No problem.
Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: mtamorrow on February 09, 2016, 09:24:49: 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 8)

Post by: Gary on February 09, 2016, 13:08:23: 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
Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: AJ on February 09, 2016, 13:12:03: 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.

Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: Keith92 on June 05, 2016, 21:40:52: 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.
Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: lazylivin on June 05, 2016, 23:57:08: I think whoever is hosting the meeting should pick the date according to their schedule. Communicating the date is easy by clicking on adminstration -> news -> and send the entire forums members an email. The email can contain the meeting date, time, city and who is hosting. It only take a couple minutes to send the email through the Ohio Reef website.

FYI: June 19th is fathers day
Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: Gary on June 06, 2016, 00:33:17: I'm not sure we should be debating it here, but that and other options were discussed early in the year by the BOD and rejected. The BOD decided to have the 3rd Sunday of the month at 2PM and not to deviate. It is a "meeting" that has no defined time line, only a start time. Members can schedule meetings anytime, but this is a Monthly Ohio Reef meeting.
Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: lazylivin on June 06, 2016, 10:52:06: I wasn't debating. It was an observation and suggestion. This is the appropriate place for members to discuss scheduling.

It looks like we are having hard time finding folks to host a meeting. It is in part because the date is being dictated rather then allowing the host to choose when it is good for them. For example Keith is wanting to host the Dec meeting on the 10th or 11th. If you take a hard stance of the 19th then he won't be able to host it. Same for Fathers day weekend this month.
Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: Gary on June 06, 2016, 11:07:03: I'm not disagreeing with you. I didn't dictate it. I'm just providing the history. The BOD made that decision.
Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: lazylivin on June 06, 2016, 19:34:45: It looks like from info in this thread, Keith and AJ would like to host a meeting at their homes outside of the scheduled dates. You are defending the BOD position the day of the month it occurs is firm and fixed. I am suggesting that if you are not flexible with date then you may have challenges finding a meeting host. Don't take it personal, it wasn't meant to be.
Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: soldiers4christ50 on June 07, 2016, 17:46:03: Count me out to host in September then if the time is 2 I go to church on sundayband can't do 2 thanks.

Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: AJ on June 07, 2016, 19:51:17: As the summer months are upon us, outdoor activities as well family activities are alive and thriving. As this is the case, we will not be holding a sanctioned Ohio Reef meeting in July. Members are still welcome to hold meetings or meet up with one another.
Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: soldiers4christ50 on June 07, 2016, 20:50:23: I will need to change my date in September from the 18th to the 25th if ok. I have to work the 18th. And it will be at 3 o'clock. I'm in Hamilton so not sure if people want to come all the way to Hamilton or not.

Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: merlin3 on June 08, 2016, 12:25:12: I agree that trying to have fixed dates is not helpful for the host. We are planning on having one of the meetings at our place but we are very busy during the summer almost every weekend. Also our air conditioner is currently not working so we are waiting till it is fixed before we agree to host.

Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: Keith92 on June 16, 2016, 15:21:50: Thank you for volunteering. Please let us know a date and time. We will post the information.
Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: erinwalling on June 20, 2016, 14:52:26: Did the BOD cancel the July meeting or was this an individual decision?
Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: AJ on June 20, 2016, 15:03:03: There was a majority vote "Yes" by the BOD to cancel the July meeting.

**Correction**
The BOD decided that we were not going to host a July meeting, but if a member wanted to host, they are more than welcome to. I believe that TroyReef volunteered to host the meeting. Once the date and time are confirmed we will update the schedule and send out an email.

Title: Re: Monthly Ohio Reef Meeting request for Hosts and schedule
Post by: Gary on June 20, 2016, 23:00:40: There was no vote that I was ask to participate in. It was stated earlier in the post that there would not be a July meeting. I had posted that I supported a July meeting, but you will not see it in the thread but it was deleted. A number of my post have been deleted. (What are we hiding?)
