PCS Committee is proud to present for the November general meeting: on Tuesday November the 5th at 8PM
 

Ollie from Aquotix - Live and Unscripted!
 
 
Yeah that's right! Ollie's coming down to Rotary Hall South Perth to guide a discussion on recirculatory systems at the commercial scale. Now you may think this has no relevance to the one or two tanks you have at home, but Ollie assures us there are lots of considerations and implications that apply to all fish tank systems. So come and hear how the guys who make a living from this, set up and maintain their systems.
 
 
Topics covered include:

Aquarium size for use
Separation/Dividers
Hole & Strainer size & placement
Flow calculation
Sump volume calculation
Heating
UV Use & Fallacies
Lighting safety
Importance of aeration
Filtration - Mech & Biological
Water quality checking & Importance
Medicating
Food/feeding
Water Changing
Water Types in Water Changing
Automation

plumbing principles
stocking rates

 
He will also be taking questions from those attending. If there is anything at all you need to know about in relation to aquariums, this is your night!

As usual, the PCS  raffle will be operating, with the chance to grab some nice prizes! Always some nice loot on the raffle table!
 
The show table competition will be  on, with all entrants winning prizes. If you need to book a PCS tank for your fish, then PM Aquacouple or bring that as well.
The library will be open with hundreds of books, magazines, and multimedia available for loan.

There will be a members door prize,  and for those that don't have time for dinner beforehand, the bbq will be cranking. Less than $5 for a snag in a roll and can of soft drink - hard to find cheaper unless you do it yourself at home!

 

Location and details of the meeting can be found HERE(clicky)

 

 

So come on down, the old and new members, and we will see you there!

My mrs is out of town so there is nothing that will stop me coming, unless all 3 vehicles won't run, serious injury, death or fighting a zombie apocalypse (in which case I expect the meeting to be cancelled)

Hi Kleinz,

By any chance will this talk be taped? Info on recirculating systems on larger scale set ups would be a useful tool to get hold of.
I went to a talk a couple of years back that Ollie did on diseases etc and learnt a lot of very useful info. I'd recommend to anyone to get along to an Ollie talk for a good night with the PCS crew,

Cheers
