  1. Reef Trader is now up for the 2020 frag swap. Please be sure to check it out.
  2. Our 2020 frag swap speaker is..... The Indiana Marine Aquarium Society is excited to announce that our 2020 frag swap educational speaker is none other than the legendary Richard Ross!! You will most recently know Rich as one of the duo from the new Skimmate Podcast as well as the Master of Ceremonies for the MACNA banquet. If you have never had the enjoyment of listening to and speaking with Rich you will not want to miss this opportunity. I think many would declare him "The most interesting man in aquatics!". Richard Ross Richard Ross is known for his“Skeptical Reefkeeping” article series, his groundbreaking work with cephalopod husbandry, his entertaining and informative talks, and for managing the ambitious 212,000 gallon reef tank in the Steinhart Aquarium in the California Academy of Sciences. “It’s so great. I get to work on what interests me in a variety of ways; I write and speak about the practical philosophy of aquarium keeping and animal welfare in the hobby press, and I get to publish in academic journals. I get to practice the fascinating craft of aquarium keeping on a daily basis, as well as participate in various kinds of field work like coral sexual reproduction. Through it all, I have the ongoing challenge and honor of working with incredible species like pygmy seahorses, unique cephalopods, ghost pipefish and more”. Richard was presented with the MASNA Aquarist of the Year award in 2015, and his work has been covered by Scientific American, National Geographic, Penn’s Sunday School, NPR’sScience Friday, Discovery News and Fox News.

  8. Mark your calendar for March 16th, 2019 for the annual INDMAS Frag Swap! It will be here before you know it and you won't want to miss out. We will be back at the same venue location as last year with some additional new vendors this year. Last year we had over 600+ people attend and hope to set a new record with everything we have to offer. Check back in for additional updates as the time gets closer for raffle prize lists and more.
  9. Went to the frag swap in Portage, IN a month or 2 ago and picked up this chalice frag. I have been looking for the name of this piece. Any help in identifying it would be greatly appreciated.
  10. This is great to see a cheaper unit for those to upgrade to. Good timing on the release before the Triton comes out.......(needs to hurry up and get here)......
  11. Yes it is the Santa Monica hog1. Currently I am waiting on it to start growing the algae. On an all in one tank, it probably isn't the best as it creates a lot of noise from the air bubbles. On the plus side, it does good for surface agitation. For a tank with a sump and an enclosure, I am sure it would be great.
