Raffle/Auction for club members to follow Dana's presentation.

Come join us in Charlotte for an exciting presentation by Dana Riddle,
one of the most respected researchers in our hobby! Dana has lived in
Hawaii for years and this has allowed him to study coral reefs all year
round. His lab is set up to examine corals in their natural environment
and relate their requirements to artificially-created conditions aka your
tank. Dana is the author of the book "The Captive Reef" and has over
100 articles published in American and European hobby literature, and
other publications such as MASNA’s newsletter, Breeders’ Registry,
Koralle, Récifal, Advanced Aquarist, Planted Aquaria and Manhattan
Reefs. He has made presentations at many local, regional and national conferences over the years. To date,
he has made over 60 presentations from coast to coast. In 2011, Dana was awarded MASNA’s ‘Aquarist of
the Year’. RASOC has the pleasure of hosting Dana right after this year’s MASNA presentation. He is going
to give that presentation to the club and the subject is:
Synergistic Effects of Light, Water Flow, and Alkalinity
in other words, how to optimize conditions for coral growth.
