Where: South Plantation High School. Auditorium at the Environmental Reaserch Center. Its the building to the south of the school.
Speaker: Legendary Reef Chemist Dr. Craig Bingman Scientist at University of Wisconsin. Dr. Bingman has written numerous reef chemistry articles for our hobby.
Bio
As with many of us, Craig became interested in aquariums at a young age.His first aquarium, at age nine, was a 10 gallon metaframe freshwater tank, with an improbable mix of neon tetras and swordfish. Foreshadowing his future career and hobby interests, he was he found pH test kits and bottles of pH up and pH down to be nearly as interesting as the fish.Subsequently, he kept a variety of freshwater planted and marine systems.
Many years later, when he really should have been concentrating on his dissertation, he became very interested in the chemistry of reef aquariums, in particular, with calcification.While working at Columbia University, he met Terry Siegel and started writing for Aquarium Frontiers.Through an arc of dozens of articles, he explored calcification support, trace elements, autofluorescent pigments in marine organisms, and interactions between chemistry and aquarium light.Although his professional work as a biochemist and X-ray crystallographer keeps him quite busy, he maintains a keen interest in the chemistry of semi-closed aquarium systems.
As always, these meeting are open to the public. You only have to be a member to participate in the raffle.
YES WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER AWESOME RAFFLE!!! DETAILS COMING SOON!!!!
