Calgary Aquarium Society
A while back when everyone was talking about formalizing a SW club,I mentioned it to Jim Hendrick one of the directors of C.A.S He said it was a great idea and wished us luck.I was speaking with him again yesterday and he asked how the club was comming along.When I told him not much was happening in that area,he said that he talked to the other directors and they would be happy to incude a SW extention to the club.Some of the members have SW and FW tanks.And they would like some new blood in their ranks.
If anyone is interested and wants to find out more,they can PM me for Jims phone number or go see him at the C.A.S auction on Nov 14 at the Parkdale Comm Assoc. Viewing is at 10am and Auction is at 11am.There won't be any SW equip, but there will be tanks,pwr heads etc.

 OH, you were you refering to the idea of joining the other group  That might not be a bad plan. If we can take advantage of an all ready established group and expand it to encompass our side of the hobby, it would easier than trying to get our own group set up. There is some overlap between fresh and salt water systems, so there should be some common ground to work from.

How closely associated with the freshwater group would we be. Can we set our own meeting times, frequency, membership costs, etc.? Is the main goal here just to create an income so that we can look at bringing in speakers? I think we should get back on that zoo aquarium project as well.

But I doubt they have doggy T-shirts.

No, that made sense for the most part Bob...
 As part of the wider organization, we could work to educate and raise awareness regarding the saltwater/reefing hobby. That may in turn attract more people to the hobby that would have a greater chance of success in it, having started with a sense of the responbility and commitment involved. This month's RC TOTM is another story of a FW geek who eventually got hooked on reefing...

Well Im going to check out the auction next weekend.Never know what you may find
 And I'll let Jim know there is some interest.I anyone wants to call him for more information I;ll give you his phone number.I was thinking that there were enough of us interested in a club,but no time to organize.And this way the organization is already there for us to take advantage of.If after a while we believe we can serve our interest better by forming our own club,it will be easier to set thing up for ourselves.
