IntoTheMystic Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Hey folks! Looking very much forward to hosting you at HMSC again this year. The BoH tour will start at 12, we can linger and chat in the Teaching Lab for a while and then my colleague Trevor Erdmann will be leading a discussion about the Association of Aquatic Life Support Operators (AALSO.) If you 're into life support design, components, optimization and general LSS geekery, you'll find this discussion interesting. Trevor has taught the Life Support class for the AQS program for the last 5 years and has earned AALSO Level III LSS certification. He's also a great guy and is looking forward to meeting you folks! Pertinent stuff for your visit: Hatfield has had to start charging for admission but it's only $5 a head. To order online: https://seagrant.oregonstate.edu/visitor-center On most Saturdays, there is an octopus feeding at 2 p.m. We just moved a new Giant Pacific Octopus on exhibit a few weeks back and are not doing public feedings yet while she adjusts to her new environs. It's possible that there will be a feeding on the 24th but that'll be a game time decision. For folks bringing food and beverages for the potluck, there are a coupla fridges in the Staff Lounge we can use. Fresh sea air claimed both Webers we had on campus but it sounds like Chef Sirena has cooking contingencies planned. As in years past, we can sit at the picnic tables just outside the lounge or inside. If you have any questions, just message me or post to this thread. I'll check it regularly. Looking forward to having you folks down here again! 🍻 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike years past, there's now a cashier, so you don't have to worry about reservations, etc. We're looking very much forward to hosting you folks today. Have a relaxing, uneventful drive to the coast and I'll meet you in the Visitor's Center at noon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 Great meeting ! @IntoTheMystic thanks for hosting and always making sure we have a gorgeous day !! Trevor’s talk was one of the best and my grandson Manny was fascinated with all you were teaching him about pumps. Here’s a few pictures!! Beautiful cold water system looks like an Envisions tank. The grandkids enjoyed the touch pools and this topographic exhibit was fun!! We had a brief tour of the lab This is Trevor speaking about aquatic life support!! I was too mesmerized by the pictures of the lab they have with giant pumps plumbing skimmers and filtration. I thought my 6 year old grandson would be bored but he was glued to the screen looking at all the pumps. This is Sid going through the book with my grandson. It is updated regularly and is only 50 dollars. Highly recommend this book to all the people who love the mechanical aspects of the hobby and are interested in aquarium design .This is what people study to get certification.Trevor just passed the Level 3 exam and there are only a handful of people that too so it’s a big deal !! The food was amazing too thanks to @Sirenabut I forgot to get pictures! All in all a great time !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
