Is your meeting handicap accessible?
No, it's in my basement which is a pseudo walk-out, but there are still a 3 steps to get to the door.

Do you mind attendee’s bring coral to Frag-It-Forward, Trade or Sell at your meeting?
Please do. I will also have the club FIF boxes at the house for attendees to dig through. Feel free to post in this thread if you know you have stuff you'll be bringing.
*post in classifieds and link into this thread if you like.*

Will you be providing any refreshments?
Yes, I was planning to have some food and drinks available. If anyone has special requests or dietary restrictions, please let me know so that I can accommodate.

Are there any specific parking guidelines?
Plenty of street parking is available in front of my house. There is also a little space beside my garage if someone needed to be as close as possible to the back door. I can provide a map, but when you park on the street you'll need to walk around the side of the house to come directly into the basement.

Do you have any pets?
(this is for members with allergies)
Just the fish. And 5 children...see below

Are children allowed?
Sure, I have 5 of my own who I'm sure will be running around and always seem to make an appearance at some point. Except the 13 year old, who is too cool. They are 13,11,9,6,1.5. So your kiddos are welcome to come and ram around with my own.

Please provide a short description of your experience in the hobby and any tanks currently running.
I still consider myself to be a newbie to the hobby, having started my first tank for Christmas of 2021. I started with a Fluval M90 (~32 gal AIO) but as is typical, upgraded to a custom 65 gallon tank in the fall of 2023. I have aspirations of being a stick head…but currently am a bit more of a stick killer than stick grower. The tank has had plenty of ups and downs, but hopefully it’s an up right now. There is even what appears to be growth on the sps. Gasp! I'm really looking forward to seeing you all and discussing the most recent snake oils to dose into our tanks.

I won't register yet since there's a lot of things up in the air right now, but I'm highly interested in coming to this one! Do you still have your quarantine stuff set up?

 

[Varig]

Yep, still have my little invert/coral qt tank as well. Hope you can make it.

 

[NorthStarCoral]

I’ll be there! Beautiful tank exited to check it out and meet everyone!

@Varig is the poster boy for persevering trials and tribulations of reefing.

 

[Varig]

Quite frankly, only because of the in person support I’ve gotten from TCMAS and a few specific members (you know who you are). So I’d say I’m really a testament to the value that TCMAS brings versus Facebook or other forums.

I realize it’s still a month out, but come on reef nerds, it’s prime reefing season. I hope there’s more than five of you that can come over and fill up my fish room with CO2, tanking my pH!!

I assume people will have already eaten lunch, but I’ll definitely have some food and drinks. Thinking maybe some smoked jalapeño poppers and smoked cream cheese . If that’s tempting for anyone to click the sign-up button. It definitely won’t be as good as Ken’s food, but hopefully still tasty.

Can’t wait to see you all.

Tell us you really want to use your smoker without telling us you really want to use your smoker

 

[Varig]

lol. The smoker gets used without you nerds or not. You may as well take part.

If you commit to coming, I’ll even leave the bacon off some of the poppers, because I’m such a good guy

 

[Varig]

Wait….now Im second guessing myself…do I need to find vegan cream cheese? Is that even a think?

You smoke soft tofu instead. It makes an excellent cream cheese substitute. Especially in vegan sushi rolls

Edit: oops, confused the smoked soft tofu with the vegan cream cheese from this restaurant (look at the Philadelphia roll) https://www.shizensf.com/menu . But yes, vegan cream cheese is a thing
