Steve

Corrosionjerry,
Don't worry so much, we, most of us , started the same way.
Best place to be if you're new, to meet people you can pick their brains and discuss things that have confound/embarrassed you in the hobby, Some of us may even have the answer, at least we can try to help out, if we don't.
Very informal setting and we don't put on airs, except for the gassy kind.
We talk about everything under the sun. Except if you're not a Reefer, the conversation maybe totally gibberish. Much like my sons when they speak "gaming", esp. WOW.
Would love to meet you.
Lenny.

So was that a "no" to bringing me wings? Lmao jk!!! Have fun everyone, come say hi if you have time!!

If I can sneak away (from work) this Saturday, I'd like to swing by, say "Hello" and enjoy a beverage or two...

Hi i'll be there
now the hard part which wings to choose

Felix thats easy! All the wings!!!!

Steve

Where is this wing place I would like to try and attend this meeting If my job will allow me to make a drop in and this will be my first attempt to drop in.

See the first page, address is right there.
See you there.

I believe my nick name should be STUPIDATMOSTTIMES when I went back and read the posting I found it. By the way I thank you and I hope to see you there as well.

Don't be so hard on yourself :biggrin: Hope to see you there!

Hey...just wanted to say that we attended our first 'reefers meeting' and wanted to tell other 'newbies' that this is an excellent way to meet other reefers. Thank you for the wonderful meeting experience and we look forward to our next meeting and as well, talking with other members online. Also, a special thanks to Steve for the free LPS...candy cane coral.

Jim and Susan

Hey, we had a great time this meeting because of all of you! Too bad we couldn't see and hear each other at the other end of the table, we had so many people came out.
Many thanks to Steve who was so generous as to have brought VERY nice frags to the "newbies" who attended the meeting. I know because I shamelessly "begged" for one and won!:razz:
It wasn't just any old frag, either, it was a beautiful tri-colored SPS that I cannot wait to see how it grows!!:mrgreen: Thank you Steve, for doing what you do.
Wonderful times, too bad if anyone else there who didn't make it this time. Be sure to try to come to the next meeting. Lenny.

We should have mentioned too that the wings were absolutely delicious!!!!

Thanks to all for welcoming me today I learned a LOT ! ... I had a great time at the meeting, met a lot of really cool people and am glad I drove up from grande prairie ... I'll Definiatly be at the next meeting

Thanks again

Hey Pipes,
Nice to meet with you as well. Good luck with the pico-nano!
Anything you need, just post here, most everyone will try to help, if they can or know how. Still think you should do the 55G. More water, more forgiving when parameters swings, you know, just like fresh water. Keep us posted as to how things are, be very interested to know.
Hope your clean up crew made the long drive ok. Might have some blue/purple mushrooms for your tank next time you're in town.
Cheers, Lenny.

Lol Lenny, he started his tank with some zoas and a mushroom courtesy red coral Edmonton, I'm sure his 55 will be up and running asap!!!

Steve

I'm already planning it all out :p but I'll have to find good homes for all my chiclids first and than beg my wife ! But first I'll learn all I can with my nano ... Thank you very much Steve for the mushroom and zoas! I hope they make the trip home !!!! :biggrin:

Lol they are zoas and mushrooms they can survive anything!!!

Steve

Unbelievable / I was there at 12:30 and the place was near full! I asked the waiter where the reefers were , and he was unaware of who the reefers were and looked at me like I was crazy... I was embarassed and just left... oh well

Glad you guys had a good time

Dammit i was planning on coming but the wife threw cooking a turkey dinner for company that night at me and i totally forgot.. heh.. oh well next time

and than beg my wife !

Ha, ha. You'd learn to beg pretty much ALL of the time when you're in this hobby. Might as well stay on your knees for the rest of the time.
:lol:

HA! had i know Steve was handing out frags i wouldnt have spent all my money in his store earlier in the day... :)

anyway sounds like a good time was had, would have loved to come out but had prior plans.

BTW thanks for all the frags Steve, everything opened up and lookin good already. Firefish is doing well too

it was great to see some familiar faces and to meet some new ones too......I had a great time at my first E-town reef meet(Cowtown needs to do this).....no pictures yet???...oh.....and the wings were great!:biggrin:

I will print up a table sign that can be displayed that will allow all new reefers to know were we are sitting.

As newbies to this we were unsure of who we would be looking for, and we were the first to show up but Lindsay from BW had told us to look for a fellow in sweats and a t-shirt and that would be Fencer so when he walked in we introduced ourselves.
We knew Steve and Laurie from Red Coral, and Dawn from AI. So we have found that if you are at any of these stores just ask around and you will get to know some of the local can reef members.:biggrin:

Good idea on the signs.
Maybe we should just have Fencer wear a tall top hat to save everyone the trouble. "Just look for a top hat in the restaurant and you'll find us".:mrgreen:

Too bad on the failed attempt to find us, and we were the largest, noisiest group there, too, how could the waiter not know?? Must admit, the part about the "Reefer's " might have just threw the waiter off *JUST A BIT*??:razz::razz:

using the term "reefer" the waiter , possibly being younger was thinking he had not seen a table of pot smokers...lol

My wife is from Victoria and that was her first thought...:lol:, I quote "What kind of Meeting?..."
