Sounds like Jen and I will be there. If not her for SURE me. I will not be bringing any corals as I said before because everything I have right now I'm saving for the 20th. And Aaron, feel free to give me a call sometime so that we can plan out how we want to go about the corals they are auctioning off. Maybe there will be a few that we are both interested in and instead of having to only get one or the other maybe we will be able to get both and just split them. We'll have to see what they have. I KNOW that they'll have something I'm interested in lol. And at least this year I'll know some people there as last year the swap was two weeks before Chris Blazek's meeting thus I didn't know any of your guys nor did you know me. Speaking of which I wonder what he's up too I know he's been very busy since the birth of his little girl about 4-6 months ago. Anyhow give me a call 608-633-1765. Also, if anyone does want me to try to sell some stuff for them I'll bring it with and whatever I sell you'll get the cash for and whatever I don't then you'll get back either by picking it up here at the house or I'd just bring it with me to the next meeting (whenever that would be). I know that Cary was interested in me bringing a few things I'm not sure if that is still the case or not.
Things I'm bringing:
Maroon Cactus x2
Green Cactus x2
Two headed Frogspawn x1
Red Montidigitata x2
Green Monticap x3
Purple Rim Monticap x3
Purple Encrusting Monticap x2
Yellow Polyps (probably 2 or 3 frag)
Red Kenya Tree x3 (just small babies)
Frilly Green Mushroom x1
Green Pocillipora x4
and I will bring 2 frags of my Purple SPS that some of you guys were drooling over (top center in my tank) but I'm only going to offer that up for trades while I'm there. If nothing I'm interested in then I'll bring them back with me (I now have 6 frags of that but, I'm still growing them out though).
So, if anyone has anything else that they might be interested in trying to sell I'll definately take the diversity.
*I'll even take some Red Kenya Tree's if you have some bigger pieces to sell as mine are only like 1" tall*
Either PM me or call me on the number listed above,
Jason

Well we plan on attending, I don't think I will be bringing anything unless there are special requests...Been really busy at work and camping (fishing) so haven't done much of anything with the tank....
Tank looks great Brian can't wait to see it in person....
Cary and Robyn

I know that in the past a couple people were interested in testing how accurate their hydrometers are. For anyone that is interested, you can bring a sample of water with you and we can compare your hydrometer or refractometer to my refractometer. I also have other test kits and meters (like my ORP meter and mag test kit) that I could test if anyone is interested and doesn't have a test kit for.

So, how do the RMMAC folks know where to go? It is a darn busy weekend, but I am considering coming over, and I am pretty sure non of the RMMAC folks have access to the LARK members only forum.

They can either send me an e-mail or a PM and I'll send directions. I don't like to post directions and phone numbers for everyone to see.
I'll send a PM with directions and my phone number to you Michael so you will have it and can pass it along to your RMMAC members or anyone else locally that you think would be interested.

That's fine I don't want any softies as I tried to keep xenia once before and failed (mostly on my part due to not even realizing it had vanished) but, I can't honestly say that I want any anyhow. I'm going to be focusing on different colored Trumpets, Blasto's, Acro's, and a variety of SPS (maybe some off the wall colored Bird's nests)

Feel free to let anyone (and everyone) up in the EC area know about the meeting and you may pass the directions on to them if you like. It would be nice to see some of those people again.
BTW - How are Jeff and Lori doing?

Aaron, I was looking through F&S's corals available and I stumbled across this I figured that you would be interested to see it.

FYI Everyone - I probably won't be back online again prior to the meeting, so if anyone that doesn't have access to the members area and is looking for directions or my phone number, please help them out. Thanks

lol Thanks for the offer. Hum I'll have to look into that some more. They pictures they had of it last year didn't look like that at all. In fact the one at the auction they had listed as the "first time its been available" and they weren't going to sell any till this year. Who knows maybe things change. It was almost more of a clear (glass like) deep blue.
Thanks though Jason

Glad you hinted at the meeting being today as for some reason (must have been a brain fart) I was thinking that it was next weekend lol.
