About our speaker.

Lance Ichinotsubo has been an aquarium hobbyist and professional for over 30 years. He was born and spent his childhood years in Hawaii, where he began keeping freshwater aquariums at an early age, graduating to marine aquariums in 1970.

The marine tropical fish industry is Lance’s passion and has allowed him to turn his love for the ocean into a career. While working for one of the largest marine fish wholesalers in Hawaii, he became a certified scuba diver, which led to many years of professional tropical fish collecting. During his years in this industry he shipped and received marine fish to and from many exotic international locations.

In 1982, Lance moved to Las Vegas where he and his wife, Mikki, founded Rainbow Seascapes, one of the foremost marine-life dealers in the country, with clients from many states; its resort hotel and casino customers included The Mirage, Caesar’s Palace, the Tropicana, and many others. Lance and Mikki have been featured on local and national TV shows and in many national trade and business publications. They have spoken to numerous aquarium societies, taught classes and consulted for the World Wide Pet Supply Association, the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, the Rainforest Café Restaurant chain, and Big Al’s Aquarium Superstores, providing advice to curators and animal care specialists.

While pursuing his studies in water chemistry as it applies to marine aquariums, Lance moved to southern Florida, where he is currently president of Captive Seas, Inc., specializing in design, installation, and maintenance consultation for retail stores, maintenance companies, and individual clients nationally and internationally.

Lance is a founding member of the American Marinelife Dealers Association (AMDA), has been involved with the Marine Aquarium Council (MAC), and has served on the Advisory Council for the International Game Fish Association, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. His ultimate goals are to help clients and colleagues become successful in marine aquarium-keeping and to truly make a difference in his chosen field of study.

Lance is also co-author, with Bob Goemansis, of The Marine Fish Health & Feeding Handbook.

I appreciate that the last meeting and this one are being held in Dade. I could not possibly get to a meeting in Broward in time. Thank you to those making the drive South.
 
Are there any of these presentation down south! Metro zoo area ever taking place?

This is our Miami Meeting :) Having grown up near Metro Zoo this is not that bad of a drive during those hours.

Will miss another meeting, will be out of the country :(
I'm starting to think you don't love us anymore :lol2:

This is something we started doing the last two years and we are Happy the 305 crowd are appreciative. :thumbsup:
 
I definitely suggest people going to this!
I have been dealing with Mikki for the past week about a new tank purchase, she is a VERY nice lady. I haven't met Lance yet, but I am sure he is very knowledgable.
 
Marvin, is there any possibility that the meeting can alternate in both locations vs having only 2 meeting a year in Miami and the rest in broward. At least for me and the rest of the 305 peeps might share my concern due to work schedule.

We've had three this year ;)

It's certainly something that could be considered. Ill bring it up to the bod.
 
The museum is still in need of soft corals. If you have any frags or corals you'd like to give them, bring them to the meeting.
