I just want to officially thank @ReefQueen and @eleet for all of their hard work yesterday. We would not have been able to do it without their awesome efforts.

I want to Thank John Kovacs for all of his hard work over the years and for once again running this workshop.

I want to thank Elmer's Aquarium for allowing us to use their space and for helping get the word out and for the coral donation.

I want to thank @acer for labeling the 250 cup lids for the coral.

I want to thank @Pola0502ds for helping frag the coral and get the cups ready for the frags.

I want to thank The Reef Gallery for selling us coral at cost and allowing us to us his tank as temporary holding system for the donated coral.

I want to thank Aqua World for the use of a radion light and tank as well as the coral frag donations.

I want to thank Gary and Melinda Spangler for helping fill up the cups and place them arrange the 300 coral frags on the tables.

Wasn't this subject talked about at the last meeting:

Ok, honestly, while I advise against doing this, I cut up tons of palys and zoas at work on a big saw with no gloves, no face mask, no eye protection. You should certainly be careful and wear gloves and follow precautions. That being said I don't know of any coral retailer or wholesaler that does not have palytoxin in their systems. It is probably rare to even see a mixed reef tank without zoas or palys in it. It certainly has the potential to be dangerous, but so is being outside in a thunderstorm. I am certain that there are more injuries and fatalities from other things than from having some colorful zoas in your tank.

I have done it as well. Just thought it was interesting that i found the video , just after we talked about it.
