[GSAS-Member] GSAS auction Announce



Club:

The Greater Seattle Aquarium society is hosting our annual Plant and Livestock 
auction on Tuesday, February the 12th at our usual location, Weter Hall, SPU 
campus.    Doors open at 6:30 to register items and the auction starting at 
7:30.  We'll do our best to try and explain a little about the plants (i.e., 
light requirements, how "challenging" it is, etc). Depending on the amount of 
donations, we might be out by 9 like last year, or it might push on until 10:30.

If you're a member, you may bring up to 20 lots to sell of your own.  Members 
get 60% of the bid, while the club takes the remaining 40%. The board has 
decided to include FISH and other livestock this year, so feel free to bring 
your juveniles! You can also bring plant-related dry-goods like substrate, 
fertilizer, CO2 gear, and specialty lights, but no general stuff like tanks or 
filters.  Save those for April.

The success of our auctions depends on participation so please bring a friend.
We are also looking for help the day of the auction with a need for WiFi 
laptops, baggers (before the auction), runners to distribute the goods, and 
cleanup/break down crew.  If you think that you can assist with the above, 
please email me.

Unsure about whether the âplantâ auction is for you?   Plants of all types will 
be available from the super easy (duckweed) to stem plants (start quickly to 
beat algae) to rare species (ie any of the other mosses).  If you keep 
herbivores, at least plenty of âgreen foodâ will be available.

What livestock should I bring?   Any fish or invertebrate is welcome however 
the audience tends to be interested in planted tank friendly individuals.

Anything else?  Plants can be bagged in Ziplock type bags and should remain 
moist.  Fish should be double bagged to prevent leaks.  Ie. seal âfish typeâ 
bag #1 with a band, transfer to bag #2 band first and seal.
