One thing I thought would be cool Matt was if we had a sump building demo and then raffled off the sump. It was something I considered for fall fest but was never got around to getting input for.

That's an interesting idea. Love it! |

Where is Spring Fest at this year? This whole sump building thing sounds fun! Maybe we could get Turbo (Bud) to help us out. |

I'll do something regarding sump building or working with acrylic. I'm not 100% sure I will be able to actually do a build from beginning to end and have it ready to move, but I'll figure something out.
And +1 on NPS |

If the sump demo was a go Matt, it would probably be best to use glass as that is what most your DIY people will be using. Otherwise I think your topics will be a big hit, but I would look for someone other then randy since he was just at fall fest. |

good point mike about randy being at fall fest also i think bud will focus on sump design mainly because acrylic solvent has to dry for 2 hours on each seam before it can be moved plus i think his is going to be more of an informal type demo at a table off to the side with a few chairs for people to sit at
craig i forgot about gary he would be great
so how does this sound
kevin kohan talking about expert only fish
gary parr on nps systems
