  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it or not. I am picking the tank up today a 2 and have to try to get this new tank set up asap.

Is there enough room to park my truck w/ a trailer? It seems hard enough to park just your car there. I could probably stop by for an hour, maybe 2.
 
Ah no bid deal because you know he has to run his business so I don't want to be a distraction. I just thought this could be a 30 minute to 45 meet and greet. And to have an official meet at a store of his caliber. Not many people go monster and most don't agree with monster keeping! Haven said that we can do anything on here we can do there other then break the MFK rule's. But it's always good to get a feel for everyone out there and hey, if I have a load of Pb's fry and I know your looking then you can have as many as you need if I have met you and know that much of you and I think everyone feels the same way when I say "A hand shake over a signature any day." Some things I will be curious about is if your breeding? What are you breeding? Location is a key thing also, don't need your address but city location will work? And if I may be able to trade any of my future fry for anything you may have that I may be looking for down the road. I am not trying to cut any Group, LFS, anything out I know there is a younger generation then me present in this hobby and you never know what they can use and offer. Some of the older gentleman like myself may not get that warm feeling from other groups when they find out what I am keeping and how aggressively I have done so. So on that note I feel comfortable around other MFK so no concerns I like people who deal on the up and up and like to be dealt with in the same way. If I was into African's I would be on there forum trying to increase my knowledge and collection and contact's! But since I like the BIG BOY's I have felt some unwanted sneer's and looks that don't sit well with me but anyway see you all there and if you can't make it we will see you here almost every night! I know I will. So I will see you all there and Go Big or Go home! MFKFL!
 
Somebody needs to take a picture of the LTSN and post it in mikes vendor forum, somebody was asking for it.
 
I managed to get there about 2:30 but I had to leave at around 3. Mike's a really knowledgeable guy, too bad he's closing shop in a few months.
 
How was the meet? I wanted to go, but I had to go last minute to help my mom with something, and I wasn't sure how long you would all be there:(
 
I'm sorry I missed it, too, but it took a little longer than expected to get the tank loaded and I wanted to get it into the garage before dark so I could get it ready tonight (clean it up, etc.) to set up tomorrow.
 
Hey everyone. Thanks for showing up those of you that were able to make it and thanks for really trying to all those of you that couldn't make it. It was a very nice day to do this and I am proud to say it was exactly what I was hoping it would be the total time of the meet was 1hr and 1/2 so that was great time. Very cool guy's thanks. I showed up at 3:30pm so I could chat a little with mike and see what he had going ahead of time. Great man. A big thanks to Killer Mike. For sure one of the best host a group could ask for and a wonderful eye experience in which to converse in. BIG love to Mike and everyone who couldn't make it should get on down there and check out his wonderful stock and if you can't make it take my word he has a pair of P's there right now that will blow your mind! You must have a BIG TANK. As well as some Female Dovii thre that are showing amazing color also big tank breed, a Fem Red Tiger that is a nice size and amazing color. His stock list is usually current so check it out and some baby Arrow's that are stunning. But as we all know about Mike's easy come easy go LFS! And that's what it makes it so cool you never know what your going to find every time you step in the door!

As for the MFK that showed I think we all covered a lot of information about each other and a Big Shout Out to Conv_DAN! Thanks for all the time and just the plethora of information about your life in the hobby and all of your projects you are working on just to hear about them is amazing. I hope to see him around here, but you all better brush up on your Latin if you don't you will learn just look to these pages and many more to learn. But anyway Thanks goes out to Bderick67, 6bar, Dexman1349, Dan of course very cool man. And of course Killer Mike I thank you the most because with out you none of this could be possible!! Thanks for everyone for sharing there hobby's/stories/setup's/ and future aquarium goal's with us all. Thanks.

It's just something you get more out of it when you can talk about it with other people who wish to hear and give equal input about your ideas. When someone can see your dreams and build with them through words it feels good. And to be congratulated on your success only helps all of the failed project's or endeavors that we all have been through. Communication is the key to this hobby and I have learned more in the past three months since becoming a member then I care to mention. So for all the guys that showed up share your experience here with the other's or start your own thread. If you guys would like to attend any of the event's up and coming together post it here. I truly had a great time next time we can take a suggestion of were we should meet. until then if anyone has any question's or anything PM me anytime?

We all have a love for our aquarium's and love to to talk about them with people who actually care and will give you the opportunity to talk about and express yourself. Some people may not get it and don't understand why you have three large tanks set up in your family room! Or when you tell them what you feed your fish has them looking like there ready to leave right now! We have a hobby they may not agree with and we want praise for all of the hard work not sighs or the look of confusion. But the actual interest in our tanks that we admire so much we want the same praise that we see when talking to someone about our thanks that's what we want to hear but may not get from friends (even friends with tanks sometimes don't get it) friends outside of the hobby or family members who think your crazy for wanting another 500g tank in the same room with the a 240g and a 150g and three 125g's and how ever many 75g and under! Welcome and you have place here. I am not big on Joining Fee's, Joining Clubs or any congregating for the purpose of gain. In other words if it's free I am with it. But I don't have time to do anything on regular basis or come out of my pocket. With that being said I like to talk shop and listen so that is what this is all about talking shop and listening! Talking MFK Style! Thanks to everyone that is apart of this hobby and MFK. Can't wait to see where the future takes us.
 
It was good meeting you guys, hopefully there will be an opportunity to meet with anyone who could not attend. Thanks to Mike(killerfish) for hosting us and to Mike(scullcraca) for getting this together.
