Special announcement! Stars from tv show "Tanked" are coming too!
Special announcement! Stars from tv show "Tanked" are coming too!
The Connecticut Area Reef Society is proud to announce that two special guests will be attending our 2012 Aquarium Conference on October 28th at the Mohegan Sun Casino.
We will have the opportunity to meet and greet with the stars of the hit television show Tanked featured on the Animal Planet channel.
Both Wayde King and Brett Raymer travel the country building some of the world's most interesting and intricate acrylic aquariums.
If you are not fully aware of these seriously entertaining gentlemen, please watch the next and last episode of this season of Tanked on November 17th at 9 PM or view their website for more information here:

Wayde King, CEO, Acrylic Tank Manufacturing
Wayde King's love of fish began at an early age. Born and raised in Long Island, New York, Wayde has early memories of his mother and biological father, who was a fish dealer, and the multiple tanks they had in the basement of his home. At 14, he was cleaning aquariums in Long Island with his stepfather, Shelly, and over a decade later, he moved to Vegas to work for another company where he built and sold aquariums. The move to Vegas led to the building of a tank for a family that possessed the only thing he loves more than fish: his wife, Heather. Heather's father, Irwin, recognized Wayde's zeal for fish and partnered with Wayde to help him hone his expertise of tanks and fish and grow both into a successful business.
Today, Wayde is living his dream designing and manufacturing some of the largest and most extravagant acrylic tanks in the world. But this isn't just a business, it's a family adventure. By Wayde's side are his wife, his brother-in-law and chief operating officer, Brett, and his father-in-law. Working with family has been very challenging, but Wayde is happy to share the stress and success with the people he loves the most.
Wayde's love of animals doesn't stop at fish. In fact, it's hard for Wayde to name an animal he doesn't love. At home he has a Victorian bull dog named Prada and a Presa Canario named Rolex. At the office, two tabby cats and four large macaws roam freely throughout the warehouse. When Wayde is not working, he often is found scuba diving in his free time. On Wayde and Heather's honeymoon, they went scuba diving in Hawaii and on their second anniversary they went scuba diving in Mexico. When it comes to fish, Wayde is an expert and a perfectionist. With more than 34 years in the business, his goal is to not only keep the customer happy, but the fish as well. Wayde's passion and persistence have brought the business to new heights, and he hopes one day his daughters will be able to enjoy working in the legacy he's created.
Brett Raymer, COO, Acrylic Tank Manufacturing
Brett Raymer is the COO of Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM), and you couldn't build a tank big enough to hold his larger-than-life ideas and personality. Originally from Brooklyn, New York and ever ready to take on a new venture, Brett jumped at the opportunity to help his family create their tank-building dream in Las Vegas. Wayde and Brett started the company before Wayde and Heather were married and the company is still thriving. Known for his ability to wheel and deal and his somewhat impulsive confidence, Brett has brought Wayde some of his most loyal clients. Though some days Wayde wishes Brett would slow down, Brett believes that if you can dream it, ATM can build it. He said seeing the face of someone enjoying a tank is priceless.
Growing up, Brett went to Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn. He excelled in athletics including tennis, football and swimming. Now, Brett prefers sports from the sidelines, bringing his years of experience and enthusiasm to his daughter's volleyball team, which he coaches. He is a single dad, and when he's not caring for fish and fish tanks, he's spending time with his two children, Kayla and Bryce.
Don't miss this opportunity to meet these stars in person!
Sincerely,
Rich Bouvier, Treasurer

What's this?!?! A live interview on WCCC 106.9 FM - Tuesday 4PM
What's this?!?! A live interview on WCCC 106.9 FM - Tuesday 4PM
Good day fellow reefers!
(That never sounds right :lol
It is with great pleasure that I inform you all that I was asked to do a live on-air interview this coming Tuesday, October 23rd at 4 PM with THE ROCK WCCC 106.9.
I'll be chatting us up with one of CCC's most talented personalities, Klonk, with hopes of eloquently explaining why fragging coral is so mentally stimulating (we all know I'll just end up trying to explain what fragging coral means). I'll also have the chance to explain that mysterious glow from my home and my excessive electric bill
.
But seriously, I'll have two 5 minute spots to let CT and the surrounding listening area know what CTARS is, what we do, why we do it and most importantly, I'll be able to shed light...I mean major light...on the details of our upcoming mega conference at Mohegan Sun on Sunday October 28th.
I'll be sure to announce our three GREAT guest speakers, highlight our signed up vendors and let America know that the stars of the Animal Planet television show Tanked, Wayde and Brett, will be spending quality time with us too!
This IS great publicity for CTARS and our conference.
On behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to thank all the members of CTARS for your patience over the past few weeks as we have slowly disclosed more and more details of this event. We promise to continue sharing the details as they unfold.
So...plan to come to CMAC. Heck, bring a friend. Why not bring three friends? But no more if you plan to share your Kit Kat bar :lmao:
We have the speakers, we have the vendors, we have the special guests, we have the great venue - we just need YOU the attendees!
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD - LET'S ALL PITCH IN AND MAKE THIS THE BEST CMAC EVER!
Sincerely,
Your (soon to be 'Almost Famous') Treasurer and now male cheerleader,
Gobey

Scored another! A live interview on WDRC AM 1360 - Tuesday 9:35 AM
Scored another! A live interview on WDRC AM 1360 - Tuesday 9:35 AM
Well....I'm almost speechless....if you know me - that's nearly impossible :eek2:
I can definitely say that this is a first for me - two on-air interviews in one day - all about CTARS, coral and fish tanks!
We just secured another live radio spot on Tuesday, October 23rd at 9:35 AM on AM 1360 with Brad Davis and Mary Jones!
I might be in shock...but being interviewed by "THE" Brad Davis is a big deal to me - I hope you all see how amazing this is too!
We might just have most of the radio listening demographics covered with the morning AM gig and the afternoon FM gig!
What can I say, I promise to to my best and let CT know who CTARS is and why we do this!
Now back to the conference at Mohegan Sun on Sunday October 28th...it's going to be great - even if I'm the only guy in the audience...it will be great, but it will be absolutely amazing if the rooms are packed to the gills (no fish pun intended).
