Recently, the treasurer and I picked up the following as raffle/jar show prizes:

Penguin 330 [acronym:f791e6e343="Hang On Back"]HOB[/acronym:f791e6e343] powerfilter, two Hagen [acronym:f791e6e343="Carbon dioxide"]CO2[/acronym:f791e6e343] systems, some 48" ZooMed plant lights.

Today, the following (along with some more reptile-type stuff) came in a box of stuff donated from ZooMed to the CAS for our raffle/show prizes:

Two AquaSweep 226 powerheads, one TC501 canister filter, two TropicSun and two UltraSun fluorescent tubes and three reproduction vintage tank ornaments.

That adds to the several smaller [acronym:f791e6e343="Hang On Back"]HOB[/acronym:f791e6e343] powerfilters that we already have as prizes, as well as a fair number of smaller items (foods, nets, etc).

Gonna be some sweeet prizes this year!

cool now as ong as i remember to come

what is the first jar show again?

Toirtis · 01-22-2005, 10:54 PM

Categories are:
Angels - Mollies - Brackish and Marine - Guppies

I have three mollies, two guppies, and one goby to enter....and I want some competition, for once!

webmoose · 01-22-2005, 11:29 PM

no mollies no guppies.. no competition from me.. I have some endlers... haha

SerLunchbox · 01-23-2005, 01:53 PM

i think i will bring an angel ... all depends on their stress level
Question though, what do i need to bring besides the fish if i get john to loan me a show tank?
water? conditioner? anything?

Menagerie · 01-23-2005, 02:19 PM

I bring conditioner. Sometimes I bring my own water. I will definitely be bringing my own water for my brackish fish.

Toirtis · 01-23-2005, 04:21 PM

I bring no water (will mix my brackish on site)....just conditioner, a bucket, a towel, and a filling-jug.

SerLunchbox · 01-24-2005, 06:22 PM

well, i guess i can't compete ... i have to get to and from the CAS meeting now. My buddy is working graves and i think he starts work at 7 (hopefully 9)
if that is the case then maybe i can contend...

Menagerie · 01-24-2005, 10:31 PM

Do you need a ride?

Don't forget the CAS meeting is at 7:30 and Trevor will be giving the presentation!! Bring your money and appetites--Michelle is baking brownies and I am baking snickerdoodles and a few peanutbutter cookies

Oh yeah, if you have any extra "pest" snails, please bring them, along with any plecos you would like to give me

Toirtis · 01-25-2005, 12:54 AM
