| Meeting Synopsis
At the August 2007 meeting, Robert and his wife graced us with his
wonderful hospitality and impressive fishroom. In addition, Robert
gave a very informative talk about his experiences running his tanks
as a circulating range. He has been kind enough to writeup his talk
in the form of an article.
A few announcements were made at the meeting. Our 2.5G aquascaping
contest is winding down. Entries should all be in by October 1st,
emailed to the gwapa email account. Also, Aquafest, the regional
convention being hosted by local-area clubs has secured Eric Do
as a speaker. Eric will talk about freshwater shrimp in planted
aquariums. As the convention nears in October, we will be looking
for volunteers to help out with the all-day auction.
As usual, we had a ton of plants at our mini-auction.
Look at the size of that banana plant!
