Next Meeting ?
 

Any thoughts ?

Yes.

You should have one.

When are you going to have it??

:wink:

Christy :)

I've got a room at a private college close to Main and Broadway, no tanks to look at but seating and everything else is there.

Christy

Most people have seen my tanks, how about someone new......


Wendell

Anyone with contacts at the Vancouver Aquarium?

I can help there.
What do you have in mind Sam?

Some Ideas:

-discounted day passes for a meet at the Aquarium (ie. We pay to get in but at better than normal group rate)

-guided tour around the marine facilities and areas behind the scenes
~show us how they feed the animals
~show us what the filtration system looks like

-some narration on maintenance of marine tanks
~how do they get/make their water. water change frequency
~what kind of lighting do they use
~additives
~filtration
~food mixture (bananas?)

-talk about breeding programs (I heard they bred seahorses)

-talk about success/failures of difficult species

-discuss future projects


Any other ideas?

I like sam's ideas.


Wendell

That would be would be an amazing venture...

I would gladly pay for a tour like that!!

Cheers
Steve

I will be talking to there next week I think, I'll bring it up then. In the mean time try to concider a date and # of people. The amount affects what we can do.

Seahorses are no longer bred at the Vancouver Aquarium, last I heard they had moved the program to UBC.

Christy :)

Wow, Sam that's some great brainstorming :exclaim:
If I ever pull myself away from my tank and venture out into the world again and meet Mrs. Right, then I think I will call upon you to plan my wedding :mrgreen:

Oh yeah and if we get a behind the scenes tour like that, then I would gladly pay full price and then some :exclaim:

So my answer is yes, I'm in 100% :mrgreen:

mmm vancouver aquarium count me in

Sounds good to me too.

Me three! :cool:

i keep meaning to go, but i never make the time this will force me :)

:grab:
Hey everyone, it's been awhile!
The aquarium sounds great, I'd be open to hosting again sometime. I'm still in Maple Ridge but now in a new house, my set-up has changed quite a bit as well.
Todd.
Oh yes; I need lots of advice as I'm wanting to make the jump to a clam /SPS set-up....

So the question still remains. Is the meeting going to happen?? I am relatively new to the board, but I am hoping to meet many other fellow reefers out there, as my wife gets mad when I say that I want to go to the fish store. If the meeting is going to happen , I will absolutely be there. As long as it is not during the week during regular working hours

How does June 8th grab ya? My place (Maple Ridge).
Bag'n Frag :biggrin:
Let's see who's up for it...

So what happened to the Vancouver Aquarium Idea ?

Yes, I am really interested in the Vancouver Aquarium idea as well.

I think it would be fantastic if whomever has the necessary connections at the aquarium could set something up.

Lets get another meeting together soon!
