Evolved - Hunter Hammond

[BfishLpond78]

Our club, CTARS, recently flew Hunter clear across the country to give a presentation on Wrasse in Reef Aquaria.

I just wanted to personally thank him for taking the time to come out here and educate our club on this topic. He gave a wonderful 90 minute PowerPoint presentation that covered the many species of wrasse which included their behavior, care requirements, acclimation, feeding, which mix well together, etc (he covered darn near everything).

Hunter allowed me to pick his brain the whole day Saturday as we stopped down in NY to check out Alfie's (Albano on the boards) tank (Absolutely gorgeous by the way). Stopped in at House of Fins and Greenwich aquaria where I was able to see some fish i've only ever seen in magazines or here on the boards (XXL Clarion Angel, XL Gem tang, Interruptus Angelfish, and some Hog fish that was being sold for $7500, can't remember the name but it was gorgeous). Last LFS before heading off the presentation was Bob's Exotic Fish & Coral where we picked up the 11 wrasse for our raffle.

It was a perfect day of reefing and fish talk.

I hope you enjoyed yourself out here and look forward to having you back out here again!!

From everyone at CTARS and especially myself, Thank You!!!!!

Again, thank you for the coordination of everything and I especially thank you (+ your other half) and CTARS for all the hospitality. I had a wonderful time indeed.

Would love to see a presentation from Hunter especially after seeing all these beautiful wrasse coming available over the years.

After spending some time with Hunter and picking his brain, I'm pretty sure when I am able to set up my next tank it will be wrasse dominated.

After seeing Albano's tank and the explosion of color when they flair/flash their fins is truly a site. No doubt I will be hitting up Hunter for more questions, or just revert to the tape we have on the presentation

I would love to hear Hunter's presentation. I absolutely love wrasses. Sounds like a great time had by all!!

 

[Triggreef]

or just revert to the tape we have on the presentation

Availability of said tape? Will this be online?

Availability of said tape? Will this be online?

I will see if I can make this avaliable for CTARS members only, I would not want to limit Hunters future and being able to spread his vast knowledge to other clubs.

I do appreciate that thought; thank you.
