Hey Phil, Great to hear from you. Anything you can do is highly appreciated! Eric Do did a cool talk on shrimp last year. I think folks really enjoyed it. Hopefully we can get something worked out with the ATL Aquarium. MACNA can do a lot because they have very deep pockets. I think we have an Atlanta Aquarium contact through Seachem. Ken Davis told me he may have one also through an Atlanta Aq Assoc member. Either way if we can get it done I think it will be a cool field trip for AGA.
