February 21 Fragging Workshop
 

Sunday February 21 from 12:00 to 4:00pm I'll be hosting a small fragmenting workshop at 4049 Campbell Ave for anyone who is interested in the fine art of coral propagation. While I am no industry expert like Borneman or Calfo I am trying to follow in their footsteps. For this event I will be demonstrating the techniques of cutting and then caring for several different types of coral. I will show how to safely cut with a razor, clipper, dremel, wet tile saw and diamond blade bandsaw. Then I can show how to care for and attach newly fragmented coral using epoxy, super glue, rubber bands or fishing line.

UNBC Reef Tank Showing
 

Here are some tank pictures submitted by Doug taken during the UNBC Reef Tank showing today. Note: the camera's yellow balance was a bit off, the tank is slightly bluer in person. I forgot my own camera (again...) but I need to go to the school tomorrow for a class so I'll try and get a full tank shot while I'm there.

Funding for the UNBC Reef Tank is provided largely by tax-deductible donation* and also through fund-raising by the UNBC Biology Club

Sunday March 28 Doug's Tank Showing
 

I almost forgot! Next weekend Sunday March the 28th from 12:00 to 4:00pm is Doug's mature 135 gallon reef tank showing. After a few setbacks last year Doug had said that he wanted to be featured last. So we left his showing until the end of March... which happens to be now! His address is 647 Kerry Street which you can see on the map. I'll be a little late getting there that day but I will try to get the frag tank setup in advance for anyone who wants to bring some coral for sale.
