2011 SCMAS Holiday Party
Special guest speaker: Richard Ross from the Steinhart
Aquarium
Richard currently works as an Aquatic Biologist at the
Steinhart Aquarium in the California Academy of
Sciences, maintaining many exhibits including the
212,000 gallon Phipipine Coral Reef. He has kept
saltwater animals for over 25 years, and has worked in
aquarium maintenance, retail, wholesale and has
consulted for a coral farm/fish collecting station in
the South Pacific. Richard enjoys all aspects of the
aquarium hobby and is a regular author for trade
publications, a frequent speaker at aquarium conferences
and was a founder of one of the largest and most
progressive reef clubs in Northern California, Bay Area
Reefers. He is an avid underwater videographer and has
been fortunate to scuba dive all over the world. At home
he maintains a 300 gallon reef system and a 250 gallon
cephalopod breeding system, and was one of the first
people to close the life cycle of Sepia bandensis. When
not doing all that stuff, he enjoys spending time with
his patient wife, his incredible daughter and their
menagerie of animals, both wet and dry.

2011 The Southern California
Marine Aquarium Society is again proud to host the 8th
annual Reef-a-Palooza. Thank you for being patient as we
plan our event. Reef-a-Palooza will be held October 22nd and
23rd in Costa Mesa, California.
This year there will
be some changes. For starters, SCMAS committee members Greg
Fryling and Steve Carroll will be handling reservations.
SCMAS is having a new website designed to improve your
future reservation experience. That change is still
approximately a month away. So for now if you would like to
reserve a space, please send an email to
reefapalooza2011@gmail.com and we will accommodate your
request.
With over 3,200 atttendees, Reef-a-Palooza
became the largest marine aquarium event in the country.
Reef-a-Palooza continues to expand our hobby through
education, conservation, and propagation. We hope to keep
you in our family of those committed to the future of
captive reef keeping.
Reef-a-Palooza continues to be
the best value for consumers and vendors. As always we will
continue to have a large group of volunteers to assist you
during set-up and tear-down as well as during the show
itself. As a SCMAS supporter and previous Reef-a-Palooza
attendee, we are opening booth space a tad early for you to
reserve your space. Returning exhibitors may be eligible for
additional discounts as a special thanks for your continued
support. Please visit our website atwww.reefapalooza.org for
more information on booths, location, and accommodations.
In its 25th year, SCMAS continues to be a forward thinking
organization. With many "firsts" (frag swaps, scratch and
dent sales, workshops, Western Marine Conference 1995) SCMAS
continues to remain a positive force for this wonderful and
dynamic hobby.
Sincerely,
Gregory
