José Garcia Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Dear board members, Aquariofilia.Net is currently one of the world's biggest online aquarium boards in Portuguese language. Although it's a fully amateur structure, the board has been growing a lot year after year, and currently we're more than 24.000 members. Every year, we organize a two-day birthday celebration event, where we invite key speakers from the aquaria world, to share with our members and aquarium fans their experience and knowledge in this fascinating subject. In the previous years we already had the pleasure to welcome in our events names like Takashi Amano and Alf Jacob Nielsen (photos), and Oliver Knott (photos) more recently, and also several Portuguese native speakers. This year, we will have the opportunity of celebrating our 5th anniversary in the Lisbon Oceanarium, on the 20th and 21th of September 2008, and we will have the presence of Tom Barr, Ronald Nielson, Svein Fossaa, Dirk Petersen and João Cotter. Besides the usual speeches, we have organized visits to the Oceanarium backstage, the Oceanarium public visit and also the Sea Monster Exhibition. There is also going to be a simultaneous 4 planted tank setup by portuguese masters in this art. Knowing of the contribution and relevance of your board to the advance of the aquarium hobby and industry, we have come to share this event agenda with all of you.
