Successful Summer Swap, next event PDF Print E-mail

Great swap with standing room only for a period of time at Beyond the Reef. It was packed! Thanks Brent and Sherrie for hosting an awesome event. It was a delight to have our meeting at a great store like this. The corals and fish at the store were awesome and very healthy and the staff did a great job. There were some rare corals traded amongst our group and we are getting a pretty diverse genetic pool of corals from events like this. Each swap, year after year it keeps getting better. Thanks everyone for coming and we are looking forward to doing it again real soon.

Watch for details regarding our next swap which is tentatively set for early October at That Fish Place in Lancaster, PA.

Thanks to all who attended and helped out with the 2010 Srping Swap. And a special thanks to Larry Flint and Williamsport High School for all the work they put into making this swap such a success.

 

We are in the preliminary planning stages for a possible summer event in partnership with That Fish Place in Lancaster. Stay tuned for more information. We will also update the information for our Fall Frag swap as the details get ironed out.

 

Thanks Everyone and Enjoy The Summer!

NCPARS Spring Swap 2010

Christine Williams will be our Guest Speaker.
The topic of her presentation is "When Aquariums Attack! Bites, Stings, Cuts and other unfortunate events...and what to do."

Biography:
Christine Williams started keeping fish while she was still a fetus. While the aqueous environment did lend itself to the hobby, it limited her to freshwater species, and so she decided to be born several weeks early. Through sign language she demanded that her parents convert her crib into a reef aquarium and thus started her illustrious career in marine ornamentals. After completing her studies in biochemistry and molecular microbiology she went to work at “Animal ER” where unfortunately she was not filmed for the Animal Planet channel (though her feet did make a cameo during a rescue segment). Currently she is the head of the Industrial Marine Microbiology team for her division of a “very large international chemical company,” where she spends her days mixing chemicals, microorganisms and algae together and seeing if they will A) explode, B) glow in the dark, or C) make a good salsa. In order to further her skills she is also a graduate student at Stony Brook University's School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.
