I just had a great experience with a vendor out of all places....Chandler Az. His name is Chris and he runs a store called Benthos farms. He primarily runs macro algae and live sand. He does have a internet site that is neatly constructed. I really enjoyed the service I got from his company and feel he is a great asset to the az reefkeepers. I would like to have him down in the future for a meeting and a speech for refuge and macro algaes. Also I think he is a meiofauna expert and can help with our DSBs and LR creatures.



among the items recieved were a HUGE amount of chaetomorpha sp. and some gracilaria parvispora as well. But my favorite piece is the Kallymenia sp. that has a deep blood red hue to it! His specimens were shipped extremely well and a great price for what he gives you. Also as a bonus he gave a half pound of LS for free. Lots of pods and worms to boot! Here is his info....

I have not asked him. But I suppose I could start a dialoge and see where it goes. I was thinking having him down for a meeting to talk sessile and motile invertebrates. Also nutrient export or something. Would be cool for a meeting. We will discuss further during this months meeting.

I agree I would love to meet him

I have Video equipment if we have guest speakers we should video tape them for group members that can not make the meetings... and for future meetings..

I contacted chris from benthos and he said he was flattered to be able to come to our meetings. I will work with Tom and the others and decide a good few dates which could work with chris. I will see about vis aids as well.
