Gil&Fin Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 When? Saturday, September 23, 2017, 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. Where? All Things Aquarium, 30789 SW Boones Ferry Rd, Wilsonville, OR 97070 What? Food, fish, and fun! We're lucky to get club member milesmiles902, who is a graduate researcher in physical chemistry at OSU, to do an "enlightening" presentation on florescent proteins. Hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, and drinks will be provided. Feel free to bring a side or dessert to share, but it's not required. Everyone will get a free raffle ticket (one per family, please), and supporting club members will get two. There will be no ticket sales, so everyone who attends gets a chance to win! Looking forward to seeing everyone! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badxgillen Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Last meeting at Erin's place was Great! The courtyard next to his building worked perfect for the last presentation we had there. And I am sure the shop will be stocked and loaded with fish and coral for us to browse through, last couple trips I found some gems in the acropora section so I will swoop in and see what I can add to my collection this time around. It's gonna be a good time for sure. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gil&Fin Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Only 2 1/2 weeks until the ATA meeting in Wilsonville! We have a Big Ticket raffle item for this meeting--a VorTech MP40 Quiet Drive propeller pump! Everyone will have a chance to win. Erin, the owner of ATA, is pulling out all the stops and will have a great selection of fish and coral ordered especially for the event. As if that wasn't enough, Miles' presentation on florescent proteins is a must-see. See you all on Saturday the 23rd at noon! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Great news ATA and Gill&Fin, I love it when a stores shipments just come in. It makes it for some fascinating livestock that have yet to be cherry picked through, and everyone knows a well stocked salt water reef store is reason enough to come out. Add in a BBQ, speaker, raffle, and your favorite PNWMAS reefer crew and it becomes something you don't want to miss. And In addition to the VorTech, I have been informed we will also be having raffle drawings for several mini coral frag packs including... A trio of some fine looking acroporas. And something for the Zoa lovers out there. AND, to go with the current Photo Of The Month scheme, we have a Big ol Softy shroom here up for grabs as well. It has some "Bounce" to it thats for sure..Me Likey very much 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milesmiles902 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Hey everyone, Just a heads up to make it to the September club meet! It's going to be a good one. I'll be giving a talk about the basics of fluorescent proteins or in reality, what makes coral glow. I thought this would be a cool interactive website to help you put in perspective what protein causes the glowing and let you interact with it on your own time. If you are a bit confused, come to the talk and I'll explain it in more detail. http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/jmol.do?structureId=1EMA&opt=3&bionumber=1 *Non-mobile device required. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
