Could a Louisianian be invited? Lol. Just playing.

Absolutely. When you come could you bring a King cake? LOL

Going to host a get together at my place Saturday 8/15 at Noon.

Let me know if you would like to come and if you would like to bring something. I may order a pizza from down the street or grill some burgers. Not really sure which yet. At this point just trying to see who would be interested.

Thanks
Randy

Hi, Randy. I'm sort of new here and not really a part of any "club". I'd like to come meet some other local reefers if this is like a open invitation type of thing.

That would be great. Just be sure to read the BARF dress code policy so you don't feel out of place.
Ha Ha Just joking. Would love for you to come.

Thanks
Randy

I would love to come but might be best to wait till i have frags to share. I am completely new in salt and only have a 1" xenia and a 1" kenya

This isn't about the frag swap. This was just set up as a meeting of reefers from the area. Come and talk to others in the area. It was the best thing I did when I first started out. Just about every piece of coral in my tank has come from the local reef community.

I actually read your build post today and started to reply asking if you want to come to the get together this weekend. The only reason that I didn't was I didn't know if you would want to make the drive from jasper

With all that being said. Would love if you could make it. Will throw in a birdsnest frag to get you started in sps

+1. I went to my first one while I was mixing up saltwater for the first time. It was over at Mike_dani's house. We became good friends and he has helped me out a lot through the years.

Awesome. Glad you can make it. If you want to bring snacks that would be great. If something happens and your not able to bring anything that's ok too.

The main point is to hang out, have a good time and talk tanks

Sure that would be great. I posted on the Alabama reefers group. Didn't get any hits though

Wow. Sounds like you have your own LFS. I seriously doubt I would be able to maintain that many tanks. Even your cut back plan would be more than I could handle.
