Hey Everyone!

This month we are having a summer potluck BBQ. If you could post what you can bring, appetizer, dessert, napkins… really anything you want to bring is OK. We already have the drinks covered, as well as meat for the grill.

We’ve made some progress getting club business taken care of the last few weeks and we plan to discuss these items with the members at the meeting.

As for the speaker this month we have Leng Sy of EcoSystem Aquariums!

Here is some info we received from Leng-

“Hello,

Have you ever wondered why fish have such vibrant colors and are healthier in the living coral reef aquariums? There are several reasons: First, corals can only thrive in a low nutrient, stable environment. Second, corals are filter feeders. They are natural predators of parasites that prey on fish. However, as you have been told over and over by your friends that you can’t have healthy live corals in an aquarium that house a lot of fish! That is what you have been told…until now.

With the EcoSystem Method of filtration, you now have the option of having a lot of fish in your reef aquarium. The question now is…what kind of reef aquarium would you like? A coral reef aquarium in which you have a lot of colorful corals and a lot of reef safe fish or a fish intensive reef aquarium in which you can have whatever fish you would like in the aquarium but with specific corals that fish either don’t like to eat or would grow fast. The followings are some possible corals that will thrive even in fish intensive aquarium when using the EcoSystem Method of filtration.
Next time I will share with you my initial finding about the possibility not to feed your marine fish as has been demonstrated in my experimental 400 gallon aquarium.

Thanks,
Leng Sy”

As always, there will be a raffle including some live goods and the member frag tank for buying, trading, or selling your corals. If you haven’t recieved your card or been getting the emails please let us know.

See you all Sunday!

Hello SCRK,

Sorry for the delay in reaching out to you guys about this month’s meeting. Due to Father’s Day, we have decided to postpone our normal 3rd Sunday of the month meeting to the following Sunday, June 26th at 6pm. We hope this works with most everyone’s schedule as Family comes first so all you lucky Dad’s have fun with your kids. Rather than miss a meeting, we’d like to get together for a quick meeting so we don’t go through any reefing withdrawals.

We are uncertain of a topic/speaker so more details to follow as they come on that. As usual, we will have a raffle, member frag tank, discounts from Age of Aquariums, and food for your enjoyment.

This month our Grand Prize will be a Zoacollector.com Assorted Box of Zoas! You get the whole box! Colin has said he will be picking some nice ones for us! Visit Zoacollector.com for info on his site or to get an idea of the killer corals he has. iloveSCRK will get you 10% off his site. Other raffle items include a BRS two part kit and a Gift Certificate for some Maui Jim sunglasses, as well as a few other surprises.

We could really use more suggestions for future meetings and/or ideas so please let me know via email if anything comes to mind.

Thank you,

Cody Bean
