Gumby Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 We discussed at our last Board Meeting about having a guest speaker in the near future. Give us some names of speakers that you would like to see. Then I can make a list for everyone to vote on. Pull out that bucket list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also liked Tim Hovanec aka Dr. Tim’s talk on tank cycling. If we sign back up with Masna they will pay some of the fee for a Guest speaker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrien.david.j Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I vote we contact @emeyer and ask for the latest status of his DNA based insights. I was at the first club meeting where he offered free tank sampling to help build his sampling database. Since then, he's revised his reports a number of times. I'd like to hear insights how to interpret various testing results, and maybe some interesting tank results. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're about to launch the eDNA service after testing on a couple hundred tanks, so theres plenty to talk about there. Also some fun stuff from the live rock testing. If theres interest I'm always happy to give a talk about this stuff. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like we were a member in 2015 and 2018. Is this something we should renew? It's only $50 per year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
