[fuzzybob4]

Post your build on corpusreefclub.webs.com too, we would love to see you their !

[BattleAthletics]

Sealmeister, do you have a build thread?

[sealmeister]

Yes I do. One is in nano reef page and idk where the other is.

[BattleAthletics]

Im on nano reef too.

[OrionN]

I am in Corpus. There are so few of us here. :(

[Europhyllia]

The Tank of The Quarter Team LOVES road trips. So give us a reason to come down there, people! We need to see some awesome tanks from charter members in Corpus. Or Rockport. Or any place other than NW San Antonio lol

[fuzzybob4]

I think you would have more people post if you did not have to pay to submit a photo.
I know I would post one, but you have to pay. :(

This is my 70 gallon that is a mixed reef, but I can post it to " The Tank of The Quarter" because I don't haver permission to do so.

The tank has changed some since this photo was taken here is one from last week.

[Big_Pun]

I think you would have more people post if you did not have to pay to submit a photo.
I know I would post one, but you have to pay. :(

you pay for much more than posting photos. totq is small perk for supporting this club with membership dues.

[Big_Pun]

no one has permission to post in totq its a thread for the winner not a thread to post and vote. you can make a build thread in the appropriate tank size section. you run a forum you should know how to navigate one??

[Zack]

Yeah, only the TOTQ comitte has permission to post there, it's basically a tank chosen 4x a year to be featured, everyone can make a build thread.

[fuzzybob4]

Yes, but the forum I'm used to is Austin Reef Club. The way the do photo contest are " this month the color is red, take a picture of something red in your aquarium and post it." Than in the last two weeks they take the photos and put them into a poll and have people vote on the winner, no cost for posting in the section any one and every one can join. That's the same way I have it on my site.

So your saying that the totq is just a random aquarium that the moderator pick from every one?

[Big_Pun]

there are many photo contest in photography section through out the month. you should look around here more before making comments.

[fuzzybob4]

I figured that's their was because on the home page it says tank of the mont and under photography it has other ones, I was just saying that I would post one for the totq if I could, but it seemed I have missed some where as to how the tank of the quarter works.

ARC and maast are two different clubs that have two different ways of doing things. ARC also has paid membership and paid membership benefits.

Also, TOTQ committe picks the winners, not the moderators and it's not randomly picked.

[fuzzybob4]

Well yes I know they are two different sites both are forums with memberships, and the memberships are different well. but like I said be for I must have missed how totq works.

[fuzzybob4]

Ok I read over the whole thing, and I understand why to have a membership: so people can get first dibs on something someone is selling or like having your tank in totq if you're winning something that will hep your tank or like a discount to a LFS.
I live in corpus as do the people that are probably reading this, I know their might be one or two of them that think yeah I'll pay $25 so that I can get the discount on the LFS or online store because I travel up their every couple of weeks, but for the common person who does not travel to SA every couple of weeks or every other month to use the member ship to go to the meeting or Use the discount, they won't pay $25 to submit their aquarium.

[Zack]

You're really missing the point of maast if that's all you think charter membership is for. Sure we get deals and can sell but it's all about supporting an orginization that helps the community of reefers in the area in general. Charter fees help us support a large forum like this and put on events and have speakers come to educate our members.

[Big_Pun]

so dont, its your $25 bucks, to me its much more than perks. it keeps this site going and all great info around here and help from the great members. sorry most of us are in san Antonio but thats how it goes. im pretty sure you wont mind san Antonio people ordering from your store when you get it going, lots of us travel to surrounding cities to purchase things cause we love seeing more lfs.

that too!

[fuzzybob4]

I know I'm not going to spend $25 to have the membership, because I can not use it. The only good I would get out of it would to be able to join in the totm, totq and toty.

Im sorry to make this such a big deal about a photo contest I just think everyone should be able to participate not just payed members.

Please make sure to browse the forum a bit better, this could have all been avoided by submitting a suggestion here:

Thank you

Fuzzy,

There are vast differences between this forum and yours. Our overhead alone makes it necessary to ask members to support the organization. It's not free, and wouldn't be with our bandwidth.

MAAST has no problems with your forum and looks forward to maintaining open dialogue with the sister forums all over. But it becomes strained when you post in here about chartership dues and miss the overall intent of our club.

That being said, I can understand your hesitancy in supporting an organization that's primarily based in San Antonio, all that being said, I would ask that you don't trivialize the purpose if the charter membership. The points that you raise are rather insignificant to the overall purpose of our organization.

I truly hope that your forum continues to grow and flourish. We will do what we can to support your organization.

Most of the aquarium keepers that I know of are on nano reef.

You'd think a place so close to the water would inspire people to gather materials and make a tank. People rather fish than maintain an aquarium. I know several people that have great tanks but lack the fish stores equipment sales in order to get what they want. Speaking for myself, id have to go to San Antonio to get a decent tank and equipment. They cant offer that here.

[slm222]

We should get a group meet and greet going. Or frag swap. It'd be nice to know other people around the area.

[OrionN]

I just Mo allt he dry good/fish food.

[Europhyllia]

Oops sorry. Didn't mean to start a debate about charter memberships. I just wanted to make sure that the Corpus members that were interested in it knew that distance is no obstacle for us and that we will make an effort to include you guys! <3

Ive been trying to get one together for down here but their is not a really good place to get a meet and greet/ frag swap together. The local fish stores won't email back, and I am thinking that people don't want to have it at their house until people start to get to know one another.

Sorry I made a big deal about it as well, I it's just my thought on the photo contes.
