The BRS is proud to announce that our own Greg Hiller will be the speaker for the next monthly meeting on Sunday September 16th at the North Andover VFW club. The topic will be "Disaster Prevention and Reefkeeping Chemistry for Dummies (I'm not judging!)" For those of you that haven't had the privilege of attending one of Greg's presentations it is always a great time.
Here is a little background on Greg, he has been active in the reefkeeping hobby since 1996, starting out in the early days using Compuserve's Fishnet forum as a troubleshooting resource. The lessons learned online from experienced aquarists resulted in such rapid coral growth in his tanks that he needed to learn and develop techniques of coral propagation/fragmentation. Greg has raised several species of marine fish and propagated dozens of species of soft and hard corals, and anemonies/corallimorphs. As most of you know Greg is a founding member of our club and was a member of the board of directors for several years.
Greg holds a Ph.D. in chemical/biochemical engineering from U.C. Berkeley which he believes has contributed to his success in the reefkeeping hobby. Understanding the basics of chemistry, combined with biology and engineering have helped with numerous fishy-type projects from raising seahorses to building calcium reactors. Greg has authored a number of articles for online hobbyist publications, most dealing with chemistry aspects of the hobby.
Tentative schedule for the meeting (this schedule may change, check back to this thread for updates as we get closer to the day of the meeting):
12:30 pm - 1:30 pm - Meet and greet/membership registration
1:30 pm - 2:30 pm - Greg Hiller presentation
2:30 pm - - Food
2:30 pm - 4:30 pm - Fragswap mayhem/socializing/meeting cleanup AKA fun stuff
Reminder: we try our best to keep the meeting on time, but there are a lot of things that are out of our control, so the times are subject to change, do not take these times as gospel please. Check back to this thread for updates as we get closer to the day of the meeting.
