2015 Presentation Volunteers

bknapp · Dec 13, 2014

If you are willing to put together a presentation for one of our monthly meetings let us know here.

In the past we have done a plumbing demo and a class on bio pellets but there are countless things to learn.

Thanks all, let's make 2015 the clubs best year yet!

I can do a presentation on basic tank plumbing. We would need to do multiple parts to cover details of some things (overflow types, drain types [bean animal, gurgle buster, Durso, etc.]), but I have the first part ready.

Why doesn't someone put together one on qt set ups and practices, and some one set up one on fish and coral acclimation. If we're trying to bring in new members what better way than to offer teaching moments that will benefit them. I know as a new member I could benefit from someone putting together a demonstration on these topics and I'm sure some of you old timers would enjoy a refresher course.

Just a thought for ideas. Or maybe one on aquarium controllers or different kinds of lighting and how they all affect corals/growth differently or setting up an auto dosing pump. Maybe we could record these presentations and use them as teaching tools like the brs videos or la fish guys videos.

Putting recordings on YouTube or some form of social media could help to draw attention to the club.

This is a great idea. Coral and most fish acclimation is very, very simple for me... float for 15 to 30 minutes, cut the bag open, pour the water out, put the fish or coral into the tank.

There are some fish that need more time to acclimate than this, and it would be great to talk about which ones do and which ones do not. This might even be a great subject for stores, since they acclimate fish and corals every week.

I like this idea, and its one we've discussed before. If someone would like to volunteer to do it and maintain it, please let us know. This is not something the BOD can take on, unfortunately.

I'd like to suggest a thread to suggest the topics, and have the members to vote on the topics, then have someone volunteer to be the presenter of the topic.

Great idea Cheng. We will discuss as a BOD and hopefully get something posted in the near future.

2 part dosing would be a great topic

Would you be willing to put together a presentation and present it to the group at a meeting?

Brandon I didn't bring my lap top to school with me. So that will leave me with 2 days when I get back home to do it. I can put one together and maybe do it in an other meeting

We've got stuff planned out until December, although we may not have a lesson that month. We could definitely work it in as it's a popular topic and you've got plenty of knowledge on the subject.
