New member here. I'm am unable to attend Tuesday's meeting, regretfully. I just set up a 400 gal. Tang tank last month. I really wanted to gain some knowledge from the good doctor. I was wandering if the meeting was going to be video taped and posted? If so, where would i access it at? The other question i have: are there going to be any Tang. live stock up for auction at this meeting. I have some orange lelepui, and juli. transcriptus, that i'd like to rehome. Thank you for your time. > From: gsas-member-request@thekrib.com > Subject: GSAS-Member Digest, Vol 67, Issue 34 > To: gsas-member@thekrib.com > Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2010 19:19:20 -0800 > > Send GSAS-Member mailing list submissions to > gsas-member@thekrib.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-member > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > gsas-member-request@thekrib.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > gsas-member-owner@thekrib.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of GSAS-Member digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
