Do It Yourself Fragging Event and Pest ID meeting!!!
The next BRS meeting will be held Sunday Jan 29th at the Newburyport Elks, 25 Low St, Newburyport, MA 12noon -4 PM
New to fragging? Want to learn but don't want to risk messing up with your own corals? Well have we got a meeting for you! Come learn how to frag SPS, LPS and softies without worrying about destroying your tank! That's right you get to actually frag real live corals risk free! Paid members will be allowed to frag up various donated corals graciously donated by Jay's Aquatics. (Paid members will get first dibs but if we have extra we will allow non paid members to frag)
What will happen to all those frags afterwards? Paid members will be given a free raffle ticket and we will raffle away the frags"¦
In keeping with the second theme (see below) be sure to do proper QT/treatment measures of any incoming coral. The BRS accepts no responsibility as a result of giving away these FREE frags
There will also be time after fragging and food to discuss proper acclimation and dipping treatment of new corals. There will be actual infected frags set up so members can inspect the infected frags.
