Been running fresh water for 30 years with my largest being 200 gallons with piranhas and then started saltwater 4 years ago with a 40 gallon fish only. I moved on to a 50 gallon fish and corals. Now running a 125 gallon tank of fish and corals that I moved to my office.

This has been a few years in the making and looking forward to having people over to see my tank and seeing some of you that I have met at others houses.

I am planning on ordering mini sandwiches and just want to to start getting an idea of how many I should order. If you are thinking you may be able to make it please give a shout out but I will order extra just in case.

Between FoMO, my lack of LFSs and just plain love for how common interest breed social camaraderie….. I am cruising down this weekend for sure!

It’s a great opportunity to gain/re-up the full membership, earning access to classifieds and give aways EXCLUSIVELY for full members/supporters. All I wanna know is…… who’s coming with me!?!?

Thanks for hosting yesterday @Griepp06! Even though it was just us two geeking out, it was a good time. Always great conversations when fish nerds connect!

It can be tough to get folks to show up in the summer. Weekends get booked quick and we only have so many of them in MN to get out and enjoy. It was nice your wife dropped in for a bit to hang as well.

You have a great system there at the office. For a young tank, It seems to be coming into its stride and will fill in nicely. That goldline rabbit fish is absolutely stunning. And definitely some of the best tech/cord management I have seen, that alone is worth coming to your next meeting. You should do a DIY write up on that 3D printed system you use.

And since I win the last meeting gift card…… our gracious host @Griepp06 wins the booty! Be sure to reach out to @spsick to claim your $50 credit with one of our sponsors.

Thanks again for hosting Chris. I will definitely come down for the next one you host to see the development of your reef.

I'm so sorry I couldn't make it, that stinks . But as it was my wedding anniversary, I decided for the sake of my well-being I had better not skip out of the house to do fishie stuff. Lame, I know. But thank you SO much for hosting @Griepp06. I hope I can make it out another time.

I also hope to make it next time. I was in NYC for work and had just flown back and needed to take care of a few things

I would have been there, but had a grad party. My cord management leaves a lot to be desired, so bummed... I could have got some tips and ideas to clean up my cord clutter.
