Bob, It would be awesome if you could bring that stuff. 

Steve, are you still able to bring the 55 gallon tank for the High Tech Tank?

Anyone got a cool LED fixture they are willing to let us borrow for 8 or 10 hours to show off?

CapnMorgan (Steve) has a really cool frog fish I believe in a 10 or so gallon tank. Might be able to persuade him to bring it in and do some live feeding demos!

I've got an ACIII with temp and pH probes and a DC8,  and a full Ca Reactor setup w/ reg and filled CO2 tank just sitting idle under my stand Embarrassed
 
I'm sure I won't have time to get them installed on my 225g before the MWRF
 
If you want to use them on the "high tech" setup you are welcome to.

Even if it isn't possible, I think it is cool that you are thinking of unique ideas. I surely wouldn't have thought of that.

Steve your 55 would work great for the high tech tank.

The other equipment we would need could vary, but here is a small list of possibilities.  We would only need to borrow this equipment for the weekend. 

Equipment such as the tank itself, a controller, a skimmer, an advanced lighting system (T-5's, LED's of similar), a wave maker or Tunze streams, or similar, and any other advanced gadgetry we would like to showcase.

I can definitely help w/ the touch tank, I may have some stuff for the high tech reef, what were you looking for? I have a 55 gallon tank that you could use, It's not drilled at the moment but I can easily fix that before November.

I have acquired a setup to use as a Low Tech Reef Setup/Cost Effective Reef Setup.

Is there anyone who can help with the High Tech Reef Setup?

I would love to help setup a touch tank!
Here is what a customer said while on hold Oh my gosh! Did you open the door? I told you not to open the door. Dre is in here completely naked and he's got freak'n Macaroni and Cheese in his hands.

I love all of these ideas.

I am planning on putting together a touch tank as the main draw to the club booth.  I could use 1 or 2 people who can help set this up on Friday (November 5th).

I am also planning to have WMAS advertising material available such as business cards and flyers available.

I would also like to see some of the other stuff happen as well, but I will not have time to put them together myself so I will need help from club members to make it happen.

Could we please have volunteers for the other projects we would like to have there. 

- Picture Slide Show.  We need someone who can gather the photos, put together the slide show, bring the equipment to show it and set it up.

- Low Tech Reef Setup.  We need someone or a team of people to set up a low tech tank showcasing how a reef can be kept on a budget.  We need someone to donate the use of their tank and equipment for the 2 days of the show as the club does not have the funds to purchase it. 

- High Tech Reef Setup.  It would be cool to have this as well to show off.  We would need someone to donate the use of some of their high tech equipment such as the tank itself, a controller, a skimmer, an advanced lighting system (T-5's, LED's of similar), a wave maker or Tunze streams, or similar, and any other advanced gadgetry we would like to showcase. 

- Posters - Anyone who would be willing to make posters highlighting things the club does, interesting topics in the reefing hobby etc.  We also need to plan a way to display these posters.

If there are any other great ideas, please post them and if possible help us find a way to make it happen.  ie. volunteer to help.

These displays will need to be set up during the day on Friday.  I believe the rooms will be open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Thanks in advance for your help.  We really appreciate it.

This all sounds great. I think Will should pick up on all those ideas and then assign a part of it to someone. Like Touchtank- Steve Ekins, Surge Device- Mark, Banners and Posters- Bob, Two tank setup- Lewy....

Would be way cool!

I like all that everyone has said so far.

My thoughts:
Even adults like to touch.Embarrassed
What if we had a Carlson Surge on the display tank? Hardly anyone these days knows about that. I know, I know, that's a gadget.Wink
Whatever setup we go with for a tank, a suspended reef would also be something cool to show off.Smile

I'm with Bob!!! Plus I like the whole Techy vs. Mark idea as well. There are some people out there and on this board that believe that if you don't buy the Lamborghini of systems then you shouldn't even be in this hobby! I think more people would take up this hobby if they new they didn't have to spend every last penny they had buying the top of the line techy stuff.
