Please read below before voting :)
I have been in contact with a few members of STRS and they have expressed some interest in some educational demos at the frag meet. They also expressed there concern that frag meets are generally boring and all the reef talk is less than stimulating. So since I don’t want my frag meet to be boring I have gathered up the suggestions of the members who have contacted me and I have created a poll for what people would be interested in seeing. You can vote for more than one and if there is an interest we will do more than one. There is nothing to say that we can’t do them all if people want. Please feel free to discuss the different ideas and some of your ideas below. We want everyone’s ideas to be heard and considered.
Here are a few to get us started…
1) Jerry (DrBronx) has offered to do a demo of how to frag a leather coral. I have agreed to offer up one or two of my larger leathers to be fraged if people are interested in this demo. Jerry will show two ways of propagating the leather and it is sure to be entertaining :)
2) Vince (fatrip) has offered to do a demo on making frag plugs out of cement, sand, and whatever else he has cooked up for us. He will make a mold and show us how to make the mix and pour the molds. If they come out nice, I am sure they will, we will raffle some off at the end of the meet.
3) I (nwrogers) thought I could do a demo about dipping and inspecting corals for parasites. I will take a bunch of my incoming frags and show people how I would dip them and show the medicines I use to do it. Parasites are everywhere so I hope you are all planning on dipping your stuff before you take it home!!
4) TBD we could do a demo on how to drill a tank and build a cheep and very effective overflow. Whenever possible it is best to drill a tank when using a sump. Many people are scared to have their tank drilled but trust me there is nothing to be afraid of. This demo may help people see how easy it is and one lucky person will get their tank drilled for free! Any volunteers?
So what do you think? You may now vote above :cool:
