I had tenatively offered to host one a while back pending the installation of our carpet. The carpet is coming next week, finally, but then my work schedule gets into weekends until into the middle of February. Plus my sps have almost all cratered lately, so I'm a bit embarassed to show off the tank much right now (lost most of them to RTN
 a couple are ok and or recovering).I'll run this past my wife to see if she is willing to allow a bunch of "fish geeks" in for a meet. Maybe the corals will be looking a bit better by then too.

id love a frag swap but none of my corals are big enough to frag, and trading for money just isnt as satisfying. i think i would rather have new corals then 15$, but thats just me, i suspect im not the only one tho... so its hard to ask someone to frag for cash i think.. UNLESS SOME ONES OFFERING
 anyone :P Richard

 I sold all my sps colonys off a few years ago and just recently felt like doin it again. They were just too demanding at the time, they were all in great shape and huge, but i figured sell them or give them away before I let them go. I gave most of them to a friend who subsequently dissapeared, no one has seen him for years now.

so there are definitely people in the Calgary area who want to do a reef meet or even a tank tour so what does everyone feel like doing??
personally i think a tank tour would be cool, i like the idea of getting to see several other peoples tanks, and the way they have their equipment setup. Richard

I live to far out of calgary or mine would be up for viewing, although my dog would not approve, in fact I doubt anyone would get near him. The only problem with a tank tour in the winter is the mess, everyone coming and going, though I suppose the weather isn't that bad (ie slush etc). I wish it were summer we could do a Barbecue. Sometimes I wish calgary were like one of the bigger centres in the states where you pay membership fee and they have regular meetings, not all the time do I feel this way though. Maybe start a poll with a list of things that might be available to do. Maybe if someone is willing to use their space for a meet they could poll to see what we could do?

that last post confused me... people in the states pay a fee to be a member of a reef meeting group? what do you get out of the membership, like free coral raffels at the meet?

You can have an aquarium society up here too where you can pay fees. In fact Calgary has one, the Calgary Aquarium Society, but my understanding is they are primarily a FW and FO focus. We tried to set up a reef one a few years ago but we didn't have the #'s to make it viable. It's something I want to revisit in the future though.
The reason you pay is that if you are going to bring in guest speakers, you have to find a way to fund their travel expenses. So you need to have a treasury, an executive and so on.
