We are pleased to announce our October 10th GSAS speaker is Scott Fellman, owner of Tannin Aquatics, who will be giving a talk entitled Out of the Darkness - Blackwater/Botanical-Style Aquariums
. The talk will discuss what blackwater is (including blackwater habitats in the wild), benefits, ins-and-outs of replicating a blackwater system in the aquarium.
Scott has been keeping freshwater and marine aquariums since he was a kid. His passion is creating natural-looking and functional biotopes. He's written for tons of publications (like Reef Builders, Reef2Reef, and Coral magazine), and has spoken at all sorts of reef-end conferences like MACNA. He was co-owner of a successful LA-based online marine livestock retailer, before selling his interest in 2016 to launch Tannin, which specializes in, you guessed it, selling natural materials for blackwater and brackish aquariums!
Usual Meeting Location, Otto-Miller 109, social hour at 6:30 PM, meeting starts promptly at 7:30, monthly auction to follow. Look for dinner with the speaker
announcement on Aistrone a few days before the meeting.
The fall GSAS season starts this month, and first up we've got a great presentation that you could see in other parts of the US, but oddly not at home before now! It's local favorite Cory McElroy, owner of GSAS sponsor store Aquarium Co-op, blogger/podcaster/YouTube'r, and former GSAS BAP chair. Cory will be speaking on Puffers.
Usual location, Otto-Miller Hall, Room 109, 7:30 PM (6:30 social time).
After the meeting, join us for our monthly auction and purchase what everyone has spawned, grown, or collected over the summer.
A huge thank-you to our local sponsor stores and national donors for supporting us in our most recent big auction. Please help support them by stopping by and buying their stuff!
