I would like to thank everyone for this weekend's FFE and such a great afternoon. I am new to club and it was a pleasure meeting new people as passionate about the hobby as myself. I have been in the hobby for about 12 years at this point and haven't met such a down to earth group of reef hobbyists. I walked up to random strangers and just began chatting in reef lingo, that was awesome. I go to school/live in Baltimore and there is somewhat of a commute to meetings but it's worth it. As I discussed with a couple of members (some have known for a while), I am working on a project with WAMAS and the Monarch Academy Charter School. Working with children that are my age when I started my first SW aquarium has been nothing but rewarding. Check out the thread in the Education Forum, I am posting progress fairly regularly so keep an eye out! Robert Enjoy...

If the interested parties flake let me know, it'll all be put in a good home at the monarch academy. Thanks

Ordered from BRS, BRK is two hours from me I'll burn more in gas than the actual bit. Thanks for everyone's help!

Thanks for the help! I bought a ten gallon last night I'm going to practice on. Still need a bit lol.

Thanks guys it looks like I may make an overnight brs order lol. I'm going to call some glass shops today.

Hey everyone! Any ideas where I can get a 1 3/4 bit locally? Largest diameter has been 1 3/8. I am in Baltimore but will travel. Thanks in advance.

Saw this pic spamming my FB feed lol

Awesome build, Ive sent IC/AC a couple emails and left a VM to have a tank made like that but no response :/

UPDATE: My first trip down to the school I gave a lecture on the nitrogen cycle, which IMO is one of the first steps to understand our captive reefs. Second trip was to revive the school's 54 gal bowfront. I am currently transforming a 60 gallon tank that once completed is going to be their "full blown reef" Did a 100% WC, 50% new water and 50% existing water from another system. I replaced the sand bed and did a little aquascaping, [=http://s63.photobucket.com/user/BAAD/media/20140605_130644_zpsq4zskycm.jpg.html][/url]

Here's something funny...my first reef tank in middle school.

Thanks everyone! Is Rik still around? And I will have some pics shortly, I changed the plumbing on my 75 around. I've been pretty busy today lol

Good afternoon everyone! I wanted to briefly introduce myself since I will be meeting some new faces tomorrow. My name is Robert Burgee, I am a student at Towson University currently and have a strong passion for the hobby. I have been reef keeping since I was 12 and enjoy it more everyday. I am the president of the newly formed Baltimore Saltwater Hobbyists. We are growing at a steady pace and I actually cannot believe the outcome of my minimal marketing for the club. We are not the other club in Baltimore at all, and I would like to build a relationship with WAMAS considering we are neighbours and hopefully maybe partner up in the future and host a MACNA. That is my long term goal and possibly too ambitious but that is what I'm working for. My girlfriend and I will be heading down to Petland for your social tomorrow. I hope to meet some new people tomorrow and have a great day of reef conversations. If anyone has any questions about myself or BSH please PM me or just make a post to this thread. To the admin: I hope this is the correct area to post this. I hope everyone has a great weekend! Robert PS I am not sure who to contact about membership so please if someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
