[LoneStar]

Wow very cool!! ^_^ It been a long time since I have been out there, will we be able the see the aquariums that they have on display in the park?

[pickle311]

I should be there, will we have to pay admission to the park?

[::pete::]

The park will be closed and we will be in a building within the park for the presentation.

[Shark_Bait]

WOW :w00t that's cool.
But 2 things
1) Could the actual file be posted somewhere, so it will look better if printed so we could post it in the LFS,
2) This is just a suggestion and I'm sure this was dicussed but why not just round the fee up to $10 and $5 and maybe make some $$$ back.
Just my thoughts

[::pete::]

The flyer will be posted on the home page, but if you right click and save it should print up nicely. We thank you for distributing down in the Corpus area.

We discussed and tossed around allot of ideas on the fee, but you are welcome to round it off or up ;)

[bigdscobra]

Cool havent been to sea world in awhile.

[pilot_bell777]

I might fly down for this one!!!!!!


Gary.....????

[Sherri]

Just a reminder to all....The Park itself is closed that day, so there will be no Shamu shows & such! Just ours. :P

[pilot_bell777]

Does family (Wife and kids) cost $10 each to get in?

[::pete::]

My fault ... I will fix it .....

Yes and no children 12 and under free.

[gjuarez]

ITs in my plans. I am definately not missing this one for the world.

[alton]

What time will the gates open to let us in?

[::pete::]

6:30 ... Although the presentation starts at 7pm I would suggest getting there early so we arent wasting time at the gate and holding up the presentation.

[pilot_bell777]

WE ARE THERE.......do I need to bring the potato salid again???

[Sherri]

WE ARE THERE.......do I need to bring the potato salid again???

Tailgate party? LOL

[Texreefer]

MAN!!! i CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NOVEMBER MEETING... FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT GET THE SEA WORLD FRAGS... THEY HAVE SOME AWSOME HOME GROWN STUFF... I GAVE THEM A CLAM SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND GOT A TOUR OF THE FACILITY AND SOME FRAGS.. VERY COOOL YOU CAN STILL SEE THE CALM IN THE AQUARIUM DISPLAY... GETTING PRETTY BIG NOW

[Sherri]

It's gonna be a great event...hope everyone can make it - that's why we made it for early evening so everyone has time to get there! :D So spread the word! ;)

[lhoy]

I'm sick!!! I leave for Haiti that very day. I can't believe I am going to miss this event. Kudo's to all those involved in such a great event. Will anyone be video taping this?

Well, at least I get to meet everone on Sunday. I will be there a little late, but will be there.

Man, can't believe I am going to miss this!!

Lee

[SBreef]

I was sick also, :( when the club found out about this. Mrs.SB and I will be in Boston for most of the month.

[::pete::]

Will anyone be video taping this?


Not possible ... sorry.

[SBreef]

Ah Man!!!! >_<

[pilot_bell777]

MY WIFE IS EXCITED ABOUT GOING TO A MAAST MEETING!!!!!


LOL.........I'm wearing her down man, I'm wearing her down.........

She's coming Sunday too! Yea

[Darth-Tater]

Does she know that the new mall in SA is opened?



DT

[pilot_bell777]

HUSH!!!!!!!!.....we are arguing right now because she went shopping and now I don't have money for my tank! LOL

[LoneStar]

HUSH!!!!!!!!.....we are arguing right now because she went shopping and now I don't have money for my tank! LOL

:lol

[GaryP]

I might fly down for this one!!!!!! Gary.....????

No problem, just let me know when.

[TexasTodd]

Man, I keep missing threads! Even though I'm on here all the time!

OK, HERE IS THE DEAL. Michael Paletta is an amazing person for our reef hobby to have.

THIS PRESENTATION WILL BE A HUGE LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ANYONE THAT COMES. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE SPS ONLY TO LEARN A TON FROM HIS PROGRAM. Please don't see it this way!

Remember that SPS are seen as some of the most difficult and specialized corals to keep. Given this you system's parameters (both light, water, and nutrient export need to be the very best you can get them. This will benefit any saltwater system.

Mike is a super nice guy. He's not snobby etc. even though he's one of the world's top reef designers. He truly LOVES this hobby. When I found out his schedule I figured he would not want to look at tanks locally but part of one evening.................HE SAID NO WAY, I WANT TO SEE AS MANY LOCAL TANKS AS I CAN. I LOVE SEEING ALL THE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS AND HOW THEY ARE SET UP!

He knows a ton, is not snobby, is a great guy, and does tons of experiments in his own systems that we can ALL learn from.

I was put in contact (sort of) with Michael by an old friend of his in Idaho (same person who gave the Idaho Grape original source to Tyree). I saw about 10 minutes of one of Mike's presentations for a couple years back.....the DVD went bad after only 10 minutes of the 1.5 hour talk. I LEARNED SO MUCH IN JUST 10 MINUTES THAT I KNEW I HAD TO SOME DAY GET TO KNOW HIM AND SEE HIM PRESENT.....SOMEWHERE!

Now, as our club grows, we are lucky to be able to support things like this! You will learn things that won't be published in books for years!

Between the $25 per year to be a charter member for MAAST and support us AND the measly $5 (actually only $4.75) anyone interested in a saltwater tank is freaking nuts to miss this.

YOU WILL SAVE SEVERAL TIMES THIS JUST FROM USING WHAT YOU LEARN TO not KILL ANIMALS YOU TRY TO KEEP!

Todd

[::pete::]

Well put Todd !

I know I will not miss this one as I like to take as much in as possible and then use what works best for my situation and my tank.

There is never (not just in reefs) anyone that knows it all and some that do are wrong from time to time. I beleive alot can be learned here and put to good use. So count me in!

Michael Paletta will also be available for Q&A as well as signing books for those interested.

See y'all there!

[Sherri]

For those that do have his books, I'm sure he won't mind signing them, so bring 'em. For those that don't have his books (me included!!), you'll have the opportunity to purchase there AND have him sign them. I'm really excited! I've been getting into SPS since March...so this really interests me.

Also, FYI, anyone wanting to prepay - can...that way it won't hold you up at the entrance gate. ;)

[LoneStar]

How would we go about prepaying?

[bigdscobra]

Can't wait the last meeting i was able to attend was the one at Finaddict frag meet! Not going to miss this one!

[::pete::]

How would we go about prepaying?

treasurer@maast.org is the paypal address. Just make a note what it is for and how many ect. The tickets can then be mailed to you or picked up at the next meeting.

[Sherri]

Can also pay at the upcoming Oct. Meeting at CB Pets! ;)

[LoneStar]

Ok I will send it via paypal...not going to the CB Pets meeting. Thanks.

[::pete::]

As mentioned Michael Paletta will be available and setting some time aside to sign books for those interested. MAAST has an opportunity to ge tthe books at a discounted rate if there is enough interest?

[LoneStar]

Which books will be avaliable to get at the discount rate?

[Sherri]

LoneStar....I believe the 2 books are:

New Marine Aquarium

Ultimate Marine Aquarium

[LoneStar]

Will they be avaliable for sale before the meeting or are we going to get them at the meeting? I would be interested in the Ultimate Marine Aqurium only.

[bigdscobra]

How much are th books??

[GaryP]

We haven't finalized pricing as of now. However, this is about what I was thinking about.

New Marine Aquarium - $20 for non-charter members, $16 for charter members

Ultimate Marine Aquarium - $40 for non-charter members, $36 for charter members

No shipping, no tax. The important theng to remember is that the proceeds go to MAAST and are going to help offset the costs of this event and will allow us to do more of these events in the future.

We really need some input from you if you want to do this. We need to make a move on it. So, get your friends to give us their input as well.

[Shark_Bait]

I'm good for both books. i thought there was going to be a third?

[NaCl_H2O]

Hey, I'm thinking I might be able to make this now :w00t My big customer meeting in FL was scheduled early, so if something else doesn't come up :D

I'm good for both books Gary - I can pre-pay at CB next weekend for the tickets and the books if you will be accepting pre-pay for both? Oh, and I might as well get the 2006 MAAST fee out of the way at the same time ;)

This is gonna be so cool 8)

Todd, is Patella really trying to see some local tanks?

[::pete::]

Patella who? :D

[NaCl_H2O]

Patella who? :D

You say Paletta, I say Patella :lol **** fingers, never do what the brain tells them :angry

So is he?

[::pete::]

He isnt trying he wants to!! He was asked if there was anything in particular and he said I want to see some tanks!! :D

[NaCl_H2O]

He isnt trying he wants to!! He was asked if there was anything in particular and he said I want to see some tanks!! :D
That's unf...ing beleivable :) I'd love to get some pointers ^_^

[::pete::]

[NaCl_H2O]

How long will he be in town?

[tgray]

Gary I want both of Mr Palletas' books
TimG

[fishypets]

Will Mike be bringing any frags down to sell?

[satx-94integraLS]

subject says it all. we just thought of this idea tonight and feel we should go with it.


THERE WILL BE AN AFTER HOURS PARTY AT FIN ADDICT ON NACO AFTER THE SEAWORLD MEET CONCLUDES!

talks of a keg are in order. also, no underage drinking will be permitted. details are slowly forming, please keep in touch with me if you want specifics. i will be posting a thread shortly since sarah hasnt yet.

we did have a late shipment tonight, hence their delay.

anywho, ill need a headcount of who is going to attend.

Mr Palletas, you are most welcome to attend. in fact, Fin Addict would like to extend a special invitation to you. We want you to come check out our store, and all the pretty stuff we have :D

Everyone on MAAST is welcome to attend. We look foreward to seeing you at the after-hours party!

-Robert C.
Fin Addict eBay manager

[chrismikea]

i will be at finaddict for sure!!

[Jenn]

I have read all 4 pages and didn't see this mentioned - I know this is going to be in a separate room but is it by chance in the aquarium room?

[Sherri]

No Jenn...SeaWorld itself is closed for the season except on weekends...that's why we couldn't get it on a weekend. We will be in the Sea Star Theatre...as beautiful theatre...you will be led from front gate to the Theatre.

[Jenn]

K, thanks Sherri.

[Sherri]

Hope you can go Jenn.... :)

[Jenn]

Me too. I am trying to find a Friday night sitter. I would bring them if it was in the aquarium since they would have something to watch & keep busy.

[cbianco]

As far as payment goes, is it cash only or can we write a check. I don't normally carry cash on me but I can make an exception if necessary. I understand that Paletta will be giving a speech during this event but I thought I heard something about a tour of Seaworld's aquarium also. Could someone correct me on this?

Thanks

Christopher

[Sherri]

Hello Christopher...thanks for asking. Yes, you can pay cash or by check. The event itself IS Paletta...there is a VIP tour that will be given for a small number of people - it is basically for the benefit of Paletta himself. It's in the works right now.

If I can help you with anything else...pls let me know. Hope to see you there.

[pilot_bell777]

How do we get on the VIP list?

[ReefOne]

I'll def. be at the Sea World event. That's awesome..i've actually read one of paletta's books so i'm eager to meet him. Plus...i'll get to meet all the fellow maast reefers.

[cpreefguy]

So are we going to get to go behind the scenes too? Or is that the VIP tour you are talking about?
Thanks.

[satx-94integraLS]

i wanna go behind the scenes!

[Sherri]

Stay tuned!!!!! Info is coming...... ;) :P :D :innocent :ph34r :w00t :pics

[cpreefguy]

How about if we work at a LFS and have over 1000 posts we can go behind the scenes :)

[Sherri]

How about if we work at a LFS and have over 1000 posts we can go behind the scenes :)

Nice try... :P

Just keep your eyes open tonight..... :ph34r

[Sherri]

Key word is "Punk"

[GaryP]

Folks, I don't know if ya'll are excited about this as I am, but this is going to be great. Please tell all your friends, even those that aren't into SW but have shown some interest. This would be a great event for them to get some idea about what the hobby is all about. Also, tell the folks that you run into at the LFS about the event. We should have fliers in most of the LFS by now. Make sure they are aware of it. We would appreciate the help of the LFS owners and staff in getting the word out. I know some of them may even be slosing so they can attend the event.

We're only a week away so let's make sure everyone knows about this event. A lot of work has gone into it and we really want to make it a huge success. For those of you wanting to get one of Mike's books signed, check with your local LFS. They should have them in stock or able to get them.

I'll hopefully be getting some Public Service Announcements on the air with a couple of the SA radio stations in the next few days. If anyone else has access to this kind of free advertising, please contact one f the BOD members.

Thanks everyone for their support.

[tgray]

I'm down for one charter member and three non-members, paypal in progress.

[Sherri]

I'm down for one charter member and three non-members, paypal in progress.

tgray....received PayPal....also....pls respond to my email...thank you! :)

[Andrew]

do we meet at the main gate and walk in? or is there a secret entrance :ph34r ?

Andrew

[Sherri]

Andrew...EVERYONE attending the event will meet at the front gate of SeaWorld. You have to pass thru their ticket gate (no charge) and park at the front gate entrance. Those attending the Tour must be at the front gate entrance gate no later than 5:45 as the tour begins at 6 till 6:45 in time for the event itself.

I will be speaking with SeaWorld sometime today and will inquire about cameras...both for tour & event. Will post when I get any info.

Hope that helps.

[Sherri]

ALSO....would like everyone to go back to the 1st page of THIS thread and be reminded of the raffle items and door prizes that will be done. WhoooHoooo on the Tunze! Lots of great stuff.

[Sherri]

Just spoke with SeaWorld....there will be cameras allowed at the Paletta event....BUT NOT ALLOWED on the "Behind the scenes" tour.

[JeremyGlen]

Is this for members only, or anyone that is a member of the forums, or just anyone?

[cpreefguy]

Technically you are a "Web Member", so you could go, but It would be $10. If I were you I would become a Charter Member, cheaper admission, and you would be eligible for all of those awesome door prizes!

[truck0000]

Does my wife get in for the charter member price or is it only good for me?

[Sherri]

Does my wife get in for the charter member price or is it only good for me?

Rob - The $4.75 is for Charter Members (you) and non members/guests are $9.75 (your wife ;) )

[SBreef]

Hey Everyone!

Today Day!!!! ;)
I wish I was there to be at the event! 8)
Have Fun and Enjoy! :)

[Darth-Tater]

Roy I hope everything is going well for you and Mrs SBreef

Hope that helps.

Perhaps this was covered another way, but I'm still quite opaque on who is allowed to attend the 'behind the scenes' tour. Am I wasting my time if I show up at 5:45 for the tour? I won't pitch a fit or pout if I'm not 'special' enough, but if I am I certainly don't want to miss it.

[Sherri]

mharmon....there are no spots left for the tour...it is full...those on the TOUR will be showing up at 5:45 which will be from 6:00-6:45...ALL OTHERS (Charter Members and their guests) will arrive at 6:45 to check in at the front entrance gate & be escorted to the Sea Star Theatre inside Sea World for Michael Paletta event. Hope that helps. :)

[Sherri]

Also....it's not whether some one is "special" enough to attend the tour...MAAST only had a small # to work with. We held a contest ("Hey Punk" thread) and gave away 12 to lucky members. The balance were reserved for a few Sponsors, BOD's & those who helped plan/setup the event.

[cpreefguy]

ok, the suspense is killing me, why cant it be 6:00 yet!?!?!?!

[Sherri]

ok, the suspense is killing me, why cant it be 6:00 yet!?!?!?!

ROFL :P Tap*Tap*Tap* huh?

[cpreefguy]

mmmhmmmm

[ReefOne]

can I pay charter dues right now and still and be eligable for the door prizes for tonight?

[Sherri]

can I pay charter dues right now and still and be eligable for the door prizes for tonight?

Yes, you can...if you PayPal now, I can have your new Membership Card at the entrance gate....but be quick about it ;) ....I'm gonna be out for a couple of hours - but will be back to check messages before I leave to SeaWorld. Are you paying for the event at the gate? If so, it would be $4.75 instead of $9.75 also!

Sherri :)

[ReefOne]

Already sent! I'll be paying at the gate also for me and my girlfriend. Thanks again Sherri!

[Sherri]

Already processed Reef.... ;) BTW...your girlfriend will be $9.75 :P

[Texreefer]

i may have missed this but if seaworld is closed how do we get in and do i need to bring cash if i haven't payed yet

[Sherri]

SeaWorld is open for us. Pass the ticket booth & come to front entrance gate. You can pay at the front entrance gate...suggest you get there at 6:45 - Tex...you are a Web Member...it will cost you $9.75 to get in. :)

[mharmon]

Also....it's not whether some one is "special" enough to attend the tour...MAAST only had a small # to work with. We held a contest ("Hey Punk" thread) and gave away 12 to lucky members. The balance were reserved for a few Sponsors, BOD's & those who helped plan/setup the event.

Darn. I thought that by being diligent in reading this topic I wouldn't miss anything. Was it mentioned here somewhere?

:(

Page 1 of this thread for those that think they can visit Shamu.... :D

See ya there!

[NaCl_H2O]

WOW :o

Great event!! Learned lots from Paletta and won a frag .. frag hell, that was a colony!

This event was far more than I ever expected, thanks MAAST BOD!!!

[Sherri]

Hope everyone enjoyed the great talk from Paletta...great crowd...great raffles (25 frag colonies donated from Sea World - not frags...but colonies!!!)....Tunze....(Sean...really, in a 12 gal Nano?!) hint hint if you want to sell it...give me a call... :innocent ....seriously!)...Protein Skimmer....lots of Gift Certificates....etc.

Thanks to all the Charter Members, new Charter Members and all your guests that attended tonight. :D

[NaCl_H2O]

Everyone that won a SeaWorld Frag, post your pictures here! (http://www.maast.org/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=15672)

[GaryP]

WOW :o

Great event!! Learned lots from Paletta and won a frag .. frag hell, that was a colony!

I may have to change the timetable on my new tank. I was expecting frags, not 12" colonies. I barely have room to even float them in my tank, but I managed.

For those of you that didn't make it, your loss is my gain. Seriously though, I couldn't be happier with the way MAAST's first "big" event turned out. Thanks to everyone that helped out and to everyone that made it to the talk tonight. Stay tuned for an announcement about another big event we have in the works for early next year.

[cbianco]

I enjoyed the event immensly! Being a "newbie" I have much to learn. I feel it to be an honor to be "schooled" by Mike Paletta, lol. I wish I was able to win one of the MONSTER frags.

Did anyone get anything good at Fin-Addict. I went and left with sand and snails, exciting! :lol

Christopher

[ReefOne]

if I would have had a place to crash I would have went to Fin Addict but I didnt want it to get to late on me. I'll be back up there tomorrow though so i'll stop by then. The meeting was AWESOME! Learned a few things that were def. helpful. Glad I'm an official maastard now!

[cpreefguy]

It was awesome, especially the "behind the scenes tour"!!!!
Oh, and the TUNZE was a good surprise too!!! Im gonna have a 12 gallon tsunami reef :lol
Seriously, great meeting, all that missed it, I feel sorry for you.

[SBreef]

Did anyone tape it, since I am in Boston?

Roy

[Sherri]

For those of you that didn't make it, your loss is my gain. Seriously though, I couldn't be happier with the way MAAST's first "big" event turned out.

I couldn't agree more Gary... :D

[VeeDub]

CD (Wendy) and I had a great time.
Thanks to the BOD and everyone who made this happen.

Now that Wendy has been working for the past couple of months, We will be able to afford to replace some of the SPS we lost.
We had a few issues in the tank and just didn't quite know what the problem was. Now that we made this meeting, we feel we know exactly where the problem is- Thank You Mike Paletta for your knowledge.http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/happy/1074.gif

We were hoping to get one of the frags but knew that our tank wasn't making SPS happy at the moment and certainly didn't want to attempt it.
That should be resolved shortly and then we need to figure out who won the Sea World frags. :innocent

[MoonSoft]

Pete?? or Todd?,

I just wanted to know when you were going to invite me to the SeaWorld event that i helped you set up with Mark Telzrow and Joe Keyon. I was sure you said that you would contact me but i never heard anything.

I was pretty disappointed that you wouldn't at least have let me know. I can assume when you heard about me through wolfreef you just used me for my reference. THANX!!!! I'LL REMEBER THAT!

Regretfully

Mr. Palletta gave a great presentation, I took some good notes. I also won a Frag, extra large as I might say! But, my frag was RTN at the base when I opened the bag at home. I had to nip it to stop the tissue loss. I now have three health frags, bright green acropora. Thanks!
Can't wait to do it all over again!!

[watered_down]

that was a big event. it was really great and thanks to the BOD for setting everything up. the info mr. palletta presented was so helpful and useful to anyone of any level. i cant even imagine something that could mirror it if not beat it.

[Polkster13]

The meet was great. I have also finally gotten around to posting pictures on my gallery. Two of them are of the frags I won from SeaWorld. The Acropora austera and Stylophora pistillata are the two I won. Sweet!

[EbbTide]

Argh! I though it was this weekend! I can't believe I missed this meeting. I was really looking forward to coming out, meeting everyone, and getting some input on setting up my new tank. I've been talking to my girlfriend about it for weeks :(

Oh well, I guess it's time for some forum posts :P Hope to catch everyone at the next meeting.

[NaCl_H2O]

I have also finally gotten around to posting pictures on my gallery.
Polkster ... I can't find your gallery???

[Polkster13]

Click on Image Gallery in the left hand column. Then select Member's Pictures and go to page 2. Mine is on the fourth row in the first column.

[cpreefguy]

Sweet memories...

[LoneStar]

That was a distant bump...

[SoLiD]

Thanks for rubbing it in. :)

[Jeff]

that was my first meeting and i scored two corals and an autographed book by palenta.

[cpreefguy]

I scored the Tunze 6080 :)

[cbianco]

I remember this meeting vividly!

So ummm... when do we get to do this again?

Paletta rocks!

Christopher

[BIGBIRD123]

We will be working on something of this sort in the near future.

[princer7]

Wish I had a saltwater tank back then.

[TexasTodd]

What list of cantidates are we looking at?
