COMAS Membership
You do not have to be a COMAS member to attend meetings, but membership has its privileges. In the forums you can see special areas that are just for members. We have special tours that are just for members(ex. Jinks aquarium tour) And of course, the best reason of all, you support a wonderful club full of helpful, generous people. The following programs are also only available to members.
The Frag Program
This program is designed to generate a self sustaining source of coral fragments available to all COMAS members. Essentially, if a member has a coral that has grown well for them and that coral is able to be split then they break fragments off of the parent colony and pass them onto another club member. The new owner promises to pass a fragment of this coral along once it has doubled in size, and another once it has regrown.
Library Program
COMAS has a large library of books and DVDs that have been donated and bought using member subscriptions. The library is available to all current members.
COMAS Equipment
COMAS members have the option of borrowing various items of equipment owned by the club. These include multiple sets of Glass Clamps and furniture dollies for moving tanks, fish fraps, light meters and other items such as highly accurate refractometers.
Reef Shots - Photo of the Month Contest
The Reef Shots is a monthly competition where COMAS members can enter a picture of their tank, or that of another COMAS members tank. The entries each month are voted on inside the COMAS forum and the winner announced at the next meeting. The winner receives a prize, usually a $25 gift certificate redeamable at one of the local stores that sponsors COMAS. In addition, submitted photographs are collated each year into a COMAS calendar.
