CLUB EVENTS - DEMO IDEAS, WANTS and MUST HAVES - help us out

[CRW Reef]

Looking to get some ideas on demos everyone my like to see at some of our events and possibly at monthly meetings and gatherings. Specifically we are looking for some ideas for the November event - Rocky Mountain Coral Extravaganza.

Demos we have done in past are as follows:

glass hole drilling
led diy
coral dipping
rock-scaping w/ Marco Rocks E-Marco 400
coral fragging w/ coral saw
coral fragging w/ bone cutters
glass frag tank diy/how to


so....who else has some good ideas of other things we can do ?

Or chime in if there are any on the list you want to see again or favor please!

Id be interested in seeing ways to frag zoas when they are growing on different types of substrate.

Building with acrylic maybe?

Also, I think we should have name tapes to know who everyone is lol.

Name tags are a great idea too. Screen name and real name

Photography would be way cool! Maybe talk to a camera shop and see if they can explain the difference in cameras and focus on aquariums in return I bet they'd get some business

I second (or third) the photography idea. I went to a similar meeting where they explained how to set the white-balance for better pictures under our blueish lights. Then I promptly forgot the trick because I didn't have my DSLR yet.

Also, I would like to know more about proper fish QT procedures. For example, common medications, if any, that people use in the process beyond just isolating them for a period of observation. That could include DIY fish food to make them fat before their new home.

DIY rock might be cool. And photography without an underwater camera or housing.

How about basic N cycle. You might think that everybody knows about it, but with all of the biopellets, GFO and other stuff that is put on the tank from day one, I sometimes wonder...

Drilling glass was a good one for us this year chad
