Yeah, I don't think you've missed them. They just haven't been. It seems like there is a waning interest recently that doesn't coincide with the normal slow times. I would host this one but my tank looks bad, very bad. Someone needs to volunteer, I'm starting to go through withdrawals.

Scott nothing like hosting to get you motivated about getting that tank up to its usually shape!

If I thought I would be ready I would volunteer but I dont want to rush things. I can do May if no one steps up by then.

I have been trying but I don't think it would be ready for a meeting for some time. I replumbed my return pump with 1.25" pvc to get a little more flow and have done 2 large water changes this month. I have the Dart out and I am making sure I have all my plumbing to install it this weekend. I've cleaned my skimmer, modified the skimmer to get rid of the sponge on the output, changed carbon and Rowa and hope to get some new bulbs this weekend. I actually have gotten rid of the diatoms that almost covered my sand but I keep getting some cyano. I am skimming real wet (I have to empty the cup every 2-3 days or it overflows) and I just changed my RO filters and DI resin late in January. I only think I lost one frag but growth seems to have stopped and every SPS is brown or green. I am thinking it's the halide bulbs so I will take care of that next.

I would host, but I think I'm on the "outside" of the club right now, because I'm all softie

Tag, your it! I don't think your the minority anymore. Since Xster sold his SPS, a bunch of people with sps are MIA and Shawn and I are buying LPS instead of SPS the acro lover group is getting pretty small. If there were more softies that were some other color besides green or brown I would have more than just one (and I am not buying any Dendronepthea's).

Yea I'm def not sps club material. In fact I am also out of the mh club along with you.

I'll second a meeting at Josh's.
