February's Brant meeting

Tony Bernard doing his presentation on his trip to lake Tanganyika.
Update:

Tony is the Former President of the Brant Aquarium Society and Past President of the Canadian Association of Aquarium Clubs. In 2003 Tony traveled to Lake Tanganyika at the southern end of the lake through Zambia and briefly visiting Tanzanian.

Tony Slide show presentation was filled with photos of the fish he encounter during his diving trips into the lake.

One of his follow travelers, Jerry Draper was present at the meeting and this brought another view of the trip.
The presentation was very interactive and Tony fielded a number of questions from the people on hand (Mostly were from my daughter Catie and Tony's Gavin)

This was the third time I have seen the presentation and it is always a good one.

Brant Aquarium Society's January Meeting

Walter is doing a presentation on how to setup a saltwater tank.
It's been very interesting.


Update:
Walter is the Secretary for the Brant Aquarium Society and a long time Saltwater hobbyist. 
Walter powerpoint presentation was well prepared and logically laid out to give the freshwater hobbyist insight into the Saltwater hobby. 

Walter discussed the different types of saltwater setups and the costs. He explored environmental setup, including filtration, saltwater preparation and habitat requirements. 

He also talked about the different groups of saltwalter fish and what species are the best for beginners and the more advanced hobbyists.

As strictly only a freshwater hobbyist the presentation was an excellent look into in the salt water hobby.
