ok, I was making a list so I didn't make 50 posts on here, Brook just got impatient with me... so here is what I have so far. Some will be impractical to do at a meeting, some are pretty straightforward and maybe not necessary, and some I have no interest in, but thought someone might be. So without further ado, here is my big fat list of program suggestions.
moonlights
custom glass tank tops for odd shaped tanks
basic stand ideas and construction
concerns nano owners have that larger systems don't have to worry about
breeding
good plant/algae prop.
substrate alternatives/ options
different filtration options
medications
traps
aquascaping
rock making
snails- types, advantages/specialities of each
bad algae treatments, removal
live food prop.
frozen and dry foods and suppliments
shrimp and crab types, advantages/specialaties of each
sandsifters- best for different problems, situations
methods of cycling rock
chemicals
tank pests/ problem critters
photography
lighting types and options
anemone prop. types, specialities, splitting etc.
clams
told you it was a list. I didn't thin it out, so feel free to chop it up. maybe something that isn't feasible to one may be to another. let's start ranking them in order of popularity so we can see what people are more interested in so we can start scheduling. maybe make a master list and everyone vote on their top 2-3 topics? if something just interests a couple people, maybe they can arrange to meet in a small group sometime. that way, a large group isn't made to listen to something that doesn't interest them necessarily. just my 2 cents. ok, maybe i am up to a dime now, hehehe.
