Greeting all!!!
We are excited to once again open our home to fellow reefers out there for a monthly gathering of NJRC people. Let's go over the nitty gritty:
Who: Us and hopefully you
What: NJRC monthly meeting
When: November 23rd (the weekend before Thanksgiving) 1-5 pm
Where: Our place: 1104 Barton Ave Point Pleasant NJ 08742
Why: To talk to like minded geeks about our hobby
Bio (Best read with a Brithish accent in your head or with the voice of Morgan Freeman (or professor Hubert J Farnsworth if you prefer that)):
Our long strange journey in saltwater came around many years ago when a young Nikki was raised in the Middle East (Abu Dabbi to be specific). After spending many years snorkeling around in the Persian Gulf, she decided when she moved home in 1991 that she wanted to keep saltwater fish. She setup her first tank in 1995 and of course caught the addiction. Nikki later left for Bucknell and donated most of her fish to a local high school. She kept the fire alive with small freshwater tanks and biding her time to return to saltwater. Around this time she met an incredibly handsome college man named Mike and a relationship was born. During her time at law school Nikki setup a freshwater tank which Mike had no interest in. One day she decided to switch gravels which killed everything in her tank, fed up she made the switch back to saltwater with a 20g tall tank. At this magical time Mike became addicted immediately. Many evenings were spent discussing setting up bigger tanks and what we were going to stock. Mike eventually setup his first tank in 2008 which was a 10g and that was all she wrote.
After doing a lot of research online we were drawn to NJRC almost as if by fate. Nikki became involved in the MACNA planning back in 2009 and we were pulled right in. We have really enjoyed the advice and friendships we have made on here and love to host meetings.
Our current stystem is a 205g display tank with about 200g in the basement. Come and check it all out.
So please come on down (or up depending on where you are located) and spend a day at us in our new home. We are about 25 mins from both Tropiquarium and Aquarium Care Center. Also Aqua Oceans is about maybe 20 mins away but in the opposite direction.
