Brian,

I am not a MARS member (haven't joined yet), but I was wondering if non-members are permitted to attend? If so, do you typically look for a donation of some sort to cover the costs of the meetings?

Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff -

Feel free to attend the club meeting. There's a lot of really nice people in the club. A lot of people attend a few meeting before they join. I have never asked anyone for "donation" to attend a meeting.

Non-photosynthetic Soft Corals: Searching for Answers

The keeping of non-photosynthetic soft corals is often considered the holy grail of aquarium keeping. Their bright colors and delicate beauty have captured the imagination of many an aquarist. This presentation offers a look at the various factors that affect their growth and may play a role in their captive husbandry. Topics include water motion, orientation and feeding, and includes a look at some of these organisms in the wild as well as a look at some experimental displays around the world such as Japan, Korea and the Netheralnds.

My Bad

Charles pointed out that he doesn't have a PhD. Unfortunately, I can't change my original post here.
