Connecticut - Conference - April 25, 2010

[hans1976]

Once again, CTARS will be holding a Conference - the date is Sunday April 25, 2010. Again, it is at The Mohegan Sun Casino. Tickets are available on-line for $15 through December 31, 2009 and parking is FREE. As an added feature this year, you can buy your raffle tickets online as well.

We have a couple of new speakers scheduled to appear - Chris Clough and Vince Rado. Chris is an LED lighting expert and Vince is a Marine Biologist with 40 years of propagating history. Also speaking will be Sanjay Joshi.

We had a full room of vendors. Scheduled to be here are Marco Rocks, Cherry Corals, Reef Koi Corals, Seachem and Wet Thumb Frags just to name a few.

We encourage you to get your tickets early before the price goes up. They make great XMAS stocking stuffers (in case your significant other is wondering what to get you).

This is the largest gathering of reef keepers in the Northeast. We hope to see you here.

We will be raffling off one of these 24" 2xModule LED Light System w/ Controller at the April 25 Conference:

Another light that we will raffle off is this one donated from Hamilton Technologies:

Not in the market for a light? How about this pump donated from Echotech Marine:

The conference is going to have a focus on lighting. We have Chris Clough (LED Lighting) and Sanjay Joshi.

Im going and so will my uncle. He carries over $1000 in his wallet on a normal day. He also trusts my judgement on corals to get. It will be fun Aside, Do you know what size the Pacific east tanks will be?

 

[FroMan]

Do you know what size the Pacific east tanks will be?

I'm not quite sure, but they will be bringing lots of nice stuff. Hopefully a few things we don't see that frequently on the east coast!

I believe the tank is something like 3X6, but as Dr. Mac just headed out the door for this weekend's swap I don't have it in front of me for exact measurements. We're planning on bringing lots of goodies, should be something for everyone. You guys are also welcome to place preorders at this point if there is something specific you see on our website and want to be sure we bring along!

 

[AMDphenomx4]

Yea, Dr. Mac sent me a personal Pm about it. Nice guy. He didn't want to sound commercial though.Hope to see you all there.
