Please join us, this Wednesday evening, November 19, 2025, at 7:00 for this month's Tropical Fish Society of Rhode Island meeting.
This month's speaker is Kirk Amidon. His talk is Aquarium Sumps 101.
Kirk will take us through the questions of why and how to use a sump for an aquarium. If you have ever wondered if a sump might be of use, this is a talk not to miss. Sumps are not just for marine aquaria either.
Kirk Amidon has been a TFSRI member for many years. He currently serves as our Treasurer. In addition to being a great aquarist, Kirk is an experienced woodturner, producing many beautiful works of art. He also Captains his own fishing boat, venturing out on the high seas in pursuit of tuna and other big game fish!
Before the meeting, we will be having dinner at Gregg's Restaurant at 1940 Pawtucket Ave East Providence, RI 02914. If you would like to join us for dinner, please let me know so we can get a large enough table for everyone.
We also have our usual meeting activities. You may bring any fish or plants you are submitting for the BAP or HAP for auction. You may also bring up to 3 lots for a Buck-a-Bag auction. We plan to have refreshments, a raffle and a short business meeting.

Route 114 is a divided road at the entrance to Mohawk Road.

There is a Blue and White sign at the entry of Mohawk Road for the Riverside Sportsmans Association. The building is at the end of the road.
