The New CT reefers

[jayspadesreef]

I want to open a thread to kinda bring the ct reefs a bit closer together and make a community because the ways things are now suck

 

[JMetaxas]

Ain't that the truth.

I don't disagree that the club has dropped off a cliff. I do recognize that it did a lot of work to run the club the way it's been run and that work falls on just a few people. I've always thought the club would benefit by being broken into smaller Regional informal monthly meetings. Maybe Eastern, Shoreline, South Western, Western and Central depending upon participation. I think that would just be a better opportunity to get to know your local reefers and particularly a better opportunity for new reefers to tap into a knowledge base which is the strength of this club. It also takes the burden of monthly meetings off the executive board who can then focus on Maybe quarterly Statewide get-togethers. Things like par meter, Lutz, could be delegated to one person. Just my thoughts

I’m all for it; what exactly did you have in mind?

 

[galantra]

I totally agree I am so for it

Think COVID-19 had a lot to do with it. Not all but def has had an impact. I’d be interested in getting something new started up.

Nothing like a maiden voyage; so may hopes and so many new things are about to come your way! Good luck!

Anyone else looking to set-up a big tank, I gotta 240 I have to sell, my wofe says she owns that space

I have been to a meeting or two but frankly this year it's really tough given the circumstances. If anyone up for a zoom meeting where we can see everyones tank and get advice from the group. May also be a good opportunity to trade corals. Mine has a long way to go so I'm happy to take the advice.

...with the current upsurge of new cases I fear it will only get worse - zoom meetings are a good idea if we can find someone technically savvy enough to run them so they don’t look like a cluster.

 

[Ti64reef]

I might be able to figure it out. I'll take a look.

 

[Ti64reef]

So my son has volunteered to set up a zoom meet for everyone. I'm thinking we can all take 5 to 10 minutes to show our tank and what is working and what isn't. Is there some days that are better than others. I'm thinking to start at 730 one evening? Once we get a night picked I'll send out a link for everyone to use.

I'm interested in this. Any evening would work for me. This could be a nice way to bring reefers together until we can socially meet again without concern.
Anyone else interested?
