[Eric R]

Just letting other hobbyists know about this upcoming event (I'm not affiliated with organizing of this event, so hopefully this is allowed under forum guidelines!).

The Northeast Council of Aquarium Societies (NEC) is having their annual convention online this year this coming weekend, April 23-25. Registration is just $7! And there are a good number of well known speakers participating, as well as there being other interesting virtual aspects to the convention to participate in. The website will all of the details is: https://northeastcouncil.org/basic-page/convention-2021-virtual-convention-new

Since it's virtual, you obviously don't have to be in the Northeast to attend. However, if you do live in the Northeast, the convention is also having an online auction associated with the event: https://auction.fish/?nec-virtual-convention-auction You don't have to attend the convention or be a member of a local aquarium society to participate in the auction, see the site for all of the rules.

Thank you for sharing this! Looks like a fun opportunity. Probably will be more and more virtual things even once we're all really post-pandemic. I'd love to see what gets auctioned off!

@Eric R Is any of this content still available.? Tom Barr referenced an experiment where he added 1 fish at a time to see if he could substitute fish waste for typical ferts. I believe he said he only successfully grew algae. I has hoping to rewatch.
