NERAC is a great excuse to come see the tank. Nice surroundings, good people and great food too.

I agree. NERAC II was the first one I went to, and it was a great experience. I was there with my friend who volunteered there over the summer and he introduced me to some of the people there, including Joe. I was there both days and stayed for the buffet too. The buffet had some great food, which I took advantage of :D. I was sitting with some people I didn't know but all the people were friendly so I forgot about that after a few minutes. After the dinner there was a sort of "Behind The Scenes" tour of the tank, which was pretty cool. I took a lot of pictures of the front of the tank and things like that. I tried to get a "Full Tank Shot" but it's hard to get a FTS of a 20,000g tank, especially when there is always someone standing in front of it. Anyway, I'm sure you don't want to hear me ramble forever so I just wanted to share my experience with all of you. I will definitely be going to NERAC III.

Here are some pics I took. I'm not the greatest photographer, so go easy on me :)

Billy,
Glad you enjoyed NERAC II and the tank. NERAC III will be in March 2007, final date not set yet. An even more extensive speaker schedule is already in the works.

any frags for trade:D

Nice.

I do trade a lot, but don't ship anywhere. When I speak at different aquarium clubs, I usually bring a bunch for their raffles, etc.

Best way to do that is to come in late at night when lights have been out for several hours, then turn on all the lights. The fish then leave their sleeping hole in a stupor and basically can't see and you just scoop them out. Its the best way to remove fish from any size tank.

Thanks for the great advice Joe! I have a large tank (well sump to you :) ) and have been having a heck of a time getting fish out when needed. Right now I am having an Ich outbreak and I would like to QT the most affected fish and keep those cycsts from multiplying in the display.

Have you had to deal with parasites or other diseases in your big tank, and if so, how have you resolved it?

This is essentially a pointless exercise. To control the outbreak, ALL the fish have to be removed and treated, and the tank should be left fishless for 6 weeks prior to reintroducing the fish.
