subsea Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Mike, it looks like you live about five minutes from my house in Hays County. The meeting sounds like fun. I already PM'd Dave about bringing Cajun ethnic foods. I say "La bonne temps roulee". Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+dapettit Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Did you forget to mark your calendars? The March meeting is this weekend! The topic is "Photographing your tank and it's inhabitants". Be sure and RSVP as this is usually the largest meeting this year not counting the "FRAG SWAP"! did I mention there will be a drawing for a Aqua-Dome & Aquatech gift certificate. Hope see all of you there. . . Dave- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mFrame Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 If you use Google Maps DO NOT take it's advice and come up Rancho Alto from the south side (via 1626). The road is destroyed at that intersection and is really rough on your car. Look forward to seeing everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subsea Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 l second the boudain. Thank you Mike, for the hospitality. I look forward to future discussions on reef husbandry. Dave, thank you for the discussion on reef photoagraphy. I am now inspired to get a camera. I guess I will have to wait on the golden egg to buy the equipment that I might need.
