    [Sep 9, 2014] Raising the BAR (Virtual Meeting)

    Legend has it that the innovative DBTC program all started when a BAR member said he would like a way to pay it forward and provide corals to other club members. DBTC has since been emulated by reef aquarist clubs all over the world. Do you have a burning idea you want to see materialize in...

    Thanks Mike Ray, BAR Treasurer, for taking care of BAR's $$$$

    That would be a huge help, Geneva - you rock! Do you drive a roomy car? If not, we could try to have helpers stop by before and after meetings to pick up and drop off. We can also make sure to have help for loading and unloading at the room in Chabot. Could someone in the East Bay with a...

    Suggestions for an Even Better Frag Swap

    Philip, your post resonated strongly with me. I apologize for taking so long to reply. At the end of the day, BAR is entirely built on the work of volunteers who put in their time and energy. As a part of the web team, you are probably more aware of that than most people. Discussion is most...

    Thanks Mike Ray, BAR Treasurer, for taking care of BAR's $$$$

    Right on the nose! We are sorely in need of new storage options. If a volunteer is able to take on store items at your residence and are able to haul it to the meetings (or arrange to have another club member do so in your absence), it would be a huge help! The club's storage needs aren't too...

    Tank sitter?

    Matt, I am near Piedmont Ave and could assist with vacation tending. The most common words to begin stories about tank catastrophies are: "I was on vacation..." Having experienced aquarists tend your tanks while you are away is one of the best informal benefits of being a member of any...

    [Aug 9, 2014] BAR Regional Frag Swap (Hayward, CA)

    1. Late registration fees Registration fees go up in the week leading up to the swap to prevent last-minute fragging. Cutting and gluing frags the night before the swap does a disservice to BAR's mission to promote responsible husbandry. In an ideal situation everyone would have healed frags...

    Clown fish eggs

    Anyone want to try their hand at hatching the eggs and rearing the larvae? There's never been a better time - the Breeding and Propagation Workshop is right around the corner. :)
