Not mandatory by any means but always popular. Not sure if a Scott still has his Justin Bieber toothbrush or not. 😄

Today’s the day! Don’t get distracted by all the burger talk in this thread - come join us for pizza, raffles, white elephant exchange and general mayhem instead!

Agree on Ecliptic - their signature burger (forgot the name) was simple but delicious. Pretty good fries too! OK - had to go look it up ECLIPTIC BURGER 1/3 pound beef patty, pancetta, red onion, aged gruyere, russian dressing, potato bun

Who says you have to choose? 😁

Going to pick up the last of the raffle prizes tonight so I hope you all are ready to join us for the festivities tomorrow!

I realized this AM that I actually typed in the wrong burger joint when I posted this - was wondering if anyone would catch it 🙂. My actual fave was Tops Burger although I literally lived across the street (on Pico) from the Lucky on Arroyo. The pastrami burger at Tops was also amazing (if you could actually eat it all). I was addicted to the "large" order of fries which would come in its own box when you ordered to go.

As you all know, we normally require full pricing info for sale threads but this is kind of an emergency and has a buy all option so are letting this through. Hope things find a good home. If you can post pics and prices for individual pieces that would probably help.

Ohhh. I like these!

Yeah - hope this doesn’t mess up I5. Funny, I went there a few times when living in Pasadena and thought it was just OK. Preferred Lucky Burger myself.

So we are just a couple days away from our December meeting - time to get yourself stoked up for all the great raffle prizes (ReeFi extreme light, Apex, LFS gift certificates, salinity probe, cell phone lens/filter kit, RO/DI setup to name a few) and (in)famous white elephant gift exchange! Not to mention pizza, beverages and the company of your fellow reefers - all in their best holiday spirits of course! Hope you plan to join us for this always festive event (details in OP). C'mon folks... you know you can't resist!!!

That sounds crazy. Hope it works out and the company/product gets resurrected... always nice to have options for this kind of gear.

I tried man, I tried...

Hey Jeremy - did you check with Brian already? Probably gone but I didn't remember him saying if it sold.

Brian had one he was passing on at cost - don’t know if it’s till available - check with PDXmonkeyboy.

I feel like there is a giant “but” in there somewhere.

Indeed. The displays are quite impressive and also a bit disturbing. That butterfly one is particularly attractive.

Hmmm. Makes me want to create a new login/identity so I can enter 😁 Those are some really nice pieces and some new member will be lucky to win them!

Wanted to make sure I got it right with the quotes and all the exclamations 😁 Should definitely be a Happy Holiday at the meeting this weekend... just one more reason to make it there to join us!

Definitely turning up the heat with these raffle prizes - well worth a trip to Salem for a chance at those. Not to mention good pizza, beverages and the company of your fellow reef keepers!

We will be happy to do so... twice! Like I said, I plan to bring plenty of tickets 😁

Next time tell them to hold their breath! Pretty striking actually. Probably wouldn’t happen in our place - too drafty 😀

The Wet Spot is kind of the “bees knees” when it comes to fresh water in my book. Plus you can get tee shirts with their name on it for all those awkward Xmas gifts!

Not sure how I missed this. We have need for a lot of -80c work in my unit so maybe shoot me some contact info if you are interested.

Haha... I thought you were just being "you" there. Makes me think we should have a listing somewhere for all the custom tank builders and a way for people to leave feedback. It is one of the most important and expensive investments in the hobby so one definitely wants to do their research.

Going to go ahead and just tag John here since I'm sure he has some suggestions. @SuncrestReef
