We meet at Stacy Furniture in Grapevine Tx, on the third floor in the Common Room.

Meeting topic: Pests in the Aquarium, given by Marc Levenson. We wanted to provide our members with a Pest Identification presentation since we know you’ll be buying corals like crazy at Next Wave and the upcoming Frag Swap. You will see pictures of the bad guys, the pests that wreak havoc on your corals. Also identified are the good guys, the ones you don’t have to worry about and can breathe out a sigh of relief. Plenty of pictures will allow you to know for sure what each item is, and how to eliminate it from your system. In addition, every card-carrying member will receive one free packet of Safety Stop, a new product from Blue Life USA. How it works will be explained at the meeting, so be sure to attend. Knowledge is key to running a successful tank.

We meet at Stacy Furniture in Grapevine Tx, on the third floor in the Common Room.

Meeting topic: Fish2Morow’s Brandon will be presenting a fragging demo. This will show ways to frag corals that range from softies to SPS and the proper way to mount them. It will also cover the proper care and placement in the tank you are placing them in. It will also make sure you know the proper care for them such as what to do with them before you place them into your tank when you buy one from someone online, a frag swap, or even one of your friends tank. With the knowledge you take home from this meeting you should be able to frag your own corals and trade with other members in the club and know what to do when you get a new coral before adding it to your tank. The corals that are being fragged at this event are also corals that will be going into the new and revised CO-OP program that will be rolling out. This is one meeting that you will not want to miss.

As part of our community outreach efforts we will be distributing food (can goods) in December to the North Texas Food Bank. We plan to do this by collecting your can goods at each of the DFWMAS events leading up to December before Christmas. So if you would, please bring you’re can goods to the meeting starting this Wed where we will be starting the collection process.
