Well it's too bad that a lot of reefers in the lower mainland didn't make it out to Big Al's last night, as you missed a really great meeting
To say that this guy is one of the worlds leading marine biologist in marine science and aquarium keeping and also the co-author of two of the best books you will ever read regarding reef keeping, it was a poor turn out to say the least by the lower mainland hobbiest
Charles Delbeek put on a amazing behind the scenes video slide show of the progressive changes that have taken place at his home base at the Waikiki Aquarium in Hawaii. Charles also provided us with some wonderful video of Japan's two largest public aquariums. There was also a question and answer period where anyone could ask him anything regarding his video footage as well as any questions about the hobby in general.
Grant and the rest of the staff at Big Al's put on a wonderful event so I would like to thank them for not only bringing Charles to Vancouver for the the meeting, but also for providing us with a wonderful spread of food and refreshments not to mention 20% off anything in the store and also a chance to hang out and talk with Charles after the meeting
After the meeting a few of us lucky reefers were able to have some more time to chat with Charles and all I can say is what a great guy
Thanks again to Grant, Suzie and the rest of the crew for putting on such a great event.
Also a big thanks to Charles Delbeek for taking out the time to drop into Vancouver.
Hang'n out with "Goby Whoren" and "I Got Noth'n" on the weekend was also a blast.
cheers, Rich
