I want to revive this sticky....

We are going to be having Brad from the CORA club, aka "Mantis" up this Friday for the meeting. He is going to show us how to make food for our tanks. We will have samples of the food for people to purchase at a 1.00 a sample. Brad is also going to provide his current recipe to everyone that is interested. This way you can go home and get your significant other on your good side with the sweet aromma of fresh sea food in your own home :)

We are also going to have a 50.00 gift certificate to Salty Critter in the Members only raffle. If your membership is expired. Now is the time to get that squared away. I feel that if 20.00 bucks could get me 50.00 it could be a win win situation. Not to mention you would be supporting the club.
 
It is also on our website at c-sea.org and click on the meeting date on the right side of the page and you will see the recipe and some pic from the meeting.

Chris that is a great looking website!!
 
Question, the meeting scheduled for this month, is it just a movie? I was wondering if the regular meeting will also be going on. Thanks
 
The regular meeting will take place. The movie will just cover one segment of our informational itenary.
 
Was really surprised at the large turn out. Thanks to all that made it and to saltycritter for the raffle items and extras!!!

** Febuary 15th 2008 Meeting - Featuring Tullio Dell Aquila **

** Febuary 15th 2008 Meeting - Featuring Tullio Dell Aquila **

During the next meeting coming up in Febuary. We have a guest speaker. Tullio will be coming to our meeting to discuss reef tank lighting. Please tell your friends, family and other club members that are not aware...

Here is a breif run down on Tullio and what he will be covering:

Tullio Dell Aquila is head of new product development and founding
partner of Aquatic Research and Development. Located in Utica, New York,
ARAD is a contract lighting manufacturer and developer specializing in
advanced high power LED lighting systems for aquarium and aquaculture
use. Tullio has spent over a decade focusing on the importance of proper
lighting techniques for aquarium and aquaculture use. His dedication and
continued work with high power full spectrum LED systems has made him a
true pioneer in the aquarium and aquaculture trade.

Tullio has been an avid reef aquarium hobbyist for over fifteen years.
With an extensive technical background, he initially started out
researching, testing, and developing products for various companies in
our industry. During this time he helped design, and develop numerous
aquarium products still available to hobbyist today. Today Tullio spends
most of his time developing and testing new lighting formats for various
industries as well as designing LED, metal halide and fluorescent based
lighting systems for top companies in our hobby.

Abstract: Full spectrum LED systems for aquarium and aquaculture use.
See the future of aquarium lighting. I will be demonstrating some of the
brightest LED packages available today and showing how to design and
build an LED fixture for aquarium use.
 
Hadn't been aware of this technology: didn't know that LEDs could even perform to this standard. Looks very exiting, and the cost can only come down over time. Should be a neat talk.

I read about research being done on microscopic LED's that can be painted on to a surface, such as a ceiling, inside of a canopy, even on a burnt out light bulb. Works in the lab. Some years down the road before we see it, if ever...
 
Yeah, it seems like there are a lot of working prototypes of great tech that are just never going to make it to market because they are too expensive to start producing, and it would take too long for volume and competition to bring down the price to a reasonable level.

That sounds like a version of the legend that the oil companies buy up all the gasoline-saving patents so that the car companies can't use them. Or that some technologies with military apps become top secret and it takes a world war for them to be released to civilian use after they become common knowledge.

In this case, it's more just general difficulty in bringing things to market. The cost of starting up the manufacturing on some things is too prohibitively high for it to have a wide market to begin with, which makes it very difficult to get started. Every other day it seems like some new fantastic application or innovation comes along... but then the harsh reality is that it would cost around 10,000 to make one unit. Innovation in invention and innovation in production are two very different things, and unfortunately it's often a lack of the latter that holds things back.

And of course we never know in advance which ideas will entrance investors, and which ones through their nature or fortune turn out to be cheaper to produce and set up. Or which ones step on too many toes.
