November Meeting
Date: Tuesday, November 14, 2006
Time: 7:00 pm
Location: ICRMP Building, 3100 S Vista Ave.
Topic: Coral Propagation and Frag Swap
Scott Morell will be leading discussion and demonstration on different methods of propagating coral. Many of the corals that will be propagated will be raffled off during the IMAS Christmas party. If you have a coral you would like to frag or have fragged feel free to bring it along...
We are excited about this coral propagation meeting because of new propogation methods that have recently been developed. We will be fragging the usual soft, branching LPS, and SPS corals but we will also be propogating non-branching LPS coral like fungia and brains.
Frag Swap
We are also having a frag swap at the meeting so bring your frags or other reef/marine related items to trade with others. Here is a thread on the IMAS forums where you can see what will be there and what others are interested in: http://www.idahoreefs.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=378
IMAS Sand Exchange:
There was a group of us talking after the October meeting about starting up the sand exchange again. The "Sand Exchange" is an awesome way to increase the bio diversity of your Reef and/or Marine aquarium. The way is works is, each participant brings an 8 oz cup of live sand to the IMAS meeting. At the meeting, all the sand will be gently mixed together. Once mixed, the sand is divided back up and you take home a cup of sand that has a little of each in it. This is an awesome way to increase the bio diversity in you sand bed. Currently just plan on bringing sugar sized sand like is used in shallow and deep sand beds. If there is enough interest, we can start a coarse sand exchange. If you are interested in participating in the sand exchange, just bring a cup to the November meeting.
