When: Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Directions
What: Renowned author and presenter Anthony Calfo, in a new presentation, will give a very eye opening program focusing on the saltwater hobby as a whole. Its history, current possible and pending legislation from around the world that may/will impact the hobby we care for so much, and what we can do as hobbyists and aquaculturists to ensure we have a hobby in the future for ourselves and future saltwater hobbyists.

This is a spring presentation that will stay with you long after its conclusion! Another 'Dont Miss' meeting brought to you by CORA. Central Ohio Reef Aquarists.
 
Member participation time everyone.

Anthony Calfo has graciously agreed to add another subject to the April meeting presentation, a coral rescue workshop. He will supply the tools, and will give a workshop on coral salvaging (checking your local lfs regarding receding/damaged corals. Offering to rescue it for a reduced price, etc. and take it home). Within this presentation, he will show fragging techniques for various corals.

Here's where we are looking for member participation. He wants about 12 various damaged corals to frag. So if anyone has that chalice that ended up getting an acan echinata fall on it and killing a section, or that branching hammer that got the dreaded brown jelly disease and took out a few heads, etc. Anything that is damaged and you would like to frag and save the good part, PM an officer by Friday 04/09/10. The more different corals we get, the better.

Maybe even get a headstart on the workshop and hit up your lfs locally and get a damaged coral at a discounted price, and bring it to the meeting. C'mon CORA members...........lets see what ya got that needs saving.
