badxgillen Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 For our August meeting, we’re doing something a little different. @SuncrestReef, our resident Apex guru and newest board member, is opening up his house for a tour of his highly automated reef tank and a backyard BBQ. This will be chance to see some cool high-tech gear in action: Automated water changes, automated skimmer neck cleaner and smart skimmate locker, emergency backup battery power and generator, and of course the Trident! As an added bonus, @danlu_gt will present a demo of his amazing ReeFi DUO LED light fixtures, with a side-by-side comparison against SuncrestReef’s Radion XR30 Pro. As always there will be some cool raffle prizes, and tasty food. When: Saturday, August 24 at 1:00pm - 4:00pmWhere: 19194 SW Suncrest Lane, Beaverton, OR 97007 View on mapParking: Driveway and on-street parking There’s only one rule: Cooper, the overly-friendly black lab, is on a very strict diet due to food allergies. Please don’t feed Cooper anything, no matter how much he acts like he’s starving. He’s had enough emergency vet visits and doesn’t need another one. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Really looking forward to this meeting. Suncrest has kind of set the bar for automation and leveraging the capabilities of the apex in systems control so will be a treat to see this setup in action. Also super excited to see the new ReeFi lights in action and hear about their capabilities directly from the man himself. Oh yeah, and then there is BBQ! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higher Thinking Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Sorry to say I'll be missing this one. Although I can't be too sorry as I'll be catching a flight to Hawaii that morning. [emoji3][emoji3] Catch y'all next time. I'm eager to hear some info on what Reefi has in store!Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 This is a really nice place and great place to have a bbq! Suncrestreef is very generous with his knowledge and just in general. I have a work event the same day on opposite sides of town so not sure if I can make it. If you can , you should all come as his tank is a technological wonder and an Ocds wet dream! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youcallmenny Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Cool, it's on our calender! They're pretty well behaved and know not to touch the tank at least. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorseReef Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I am very interested to see SuncrestReef setup in person. I to have kids. I am not 100% sure we can make as my 12 year old may have football that day. I sure hope I can make though I really want to see and ask questions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badxgillen Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 Gotta Bump this up seeing as it is this afternoon! It is going to be an amazing time I am sure! Unfortunately for me, I had surgery on a fractured foot yesterday, making this one of the Very Few times that I will not be able to attend a meeting 😞 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashy Fins Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Oh, man, a former client where I work sells those human hamster balls. Too bad they aren't with us anymore to send a discounted sample! 😆 See everyone soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I have to say I'm not looking forward to being in the hamster ball! That said, I am excited to see the gold standard in tank automation and get a peek at Daniel's newest ReeFi lighting creation. Great weather for a BBQ so hope to see a lot of you out there soon!

SuncrestReef Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Thanks to all of you for coming out today! I had a great time and loved showing off my tank. I've only been in this hobby for about a year and a half now, but I'm so impressed with all the great people I've met and the camaraderie of the reefing community. Thank you all for your advice and kind words in this short amount of time I've been involved with the group. And a special Thank You to @danlu_gt Daniel for the ReeFi demo today. They are very impressive lights, and I'm sure they will be a big success in the industry. Happy reefing, everyone!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlu_gt Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Thank you John for hosting and letting me demo my light on your tank. You tank is pretty amazing, so neat and clean both inside and out!! Great seeing everyone after being out of town and missing last few monthly meetings! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
