Re: January meeting

Unfortunately, I can be subtracted from the head count - I seem to have caught a nasty sinus infection on Metro during my commute home from work earlier this evening (I doubt that's something you all want me bringing to the meeting!).

Hope to see you all in February.

Re: January meeting

"Barring unforeseen circumstance," I will be there. BTW, while there appears to be plenty of people bringing food, I don't recall any mention of beverages ... if it's allowed at GWAPA meetings (please advise), I've got some left-over bottles of Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest that I'd be happy t...

Re: January meeting

I'm guessing the January meeting will be cancelled, due to the massive snowstorm/possible blizzard which is being predicted?

Will there be an alternate date, or will February just be the next meeting?

Re: January meeting

After several years absence from both the hobby & the club, I'm definitely hoping to make it.

Re: vals "shedding"?

Maybe this is just "normal" for the species?
Anybody know for certain?

vals "shedding"?

I have some corkscrew vals which have had a couple of months to establish themselves in their tank, and they had been doing really well (leaves have grown larger and greener, they've put out runners, etc.) ... until just a few of days ago: now, every morning I find a full leaf broken off at the base...

Re: what's with the proposed Eheim boycott?

That guy Roberto definitely has some anger management issues ... I saw another video of his today, in which he discovered that the pH in his shrimp breeding tank was too high (despite a major CO2 set-up), and the same foul language spewed from his mouth (and was even included in the title of the vid...

Re: what's with the proposed Eheim boycott?

I've since done a Google search myself - using the Spanish word for boycott (boicot) with "Eheim", I actually got five relevant hits ... three hits contained links to the same video I saw, one hit was inaccessible, and the remaining hit was a response from an aquarium dealer in Madrid, whi...

what's with the proposed Eheim boycott?

The recommendations in my YouTube account this morning included a Spanish-language video proposing a boycott of Eheim products in Spain and Latin America ... it was kind of difficult to filter out the video's substantive reasoning, as it was mostly 24 minutes of insanely foul-mouthed vitriol (a full...

Now I wonder if all this isn't also working the other way around: imagine some guy searching for "gwapas in thongs" getting a hit on the intimate apparel listing on our store page - he clicks on "home", hoping to see that underwear being modeled, and instead sees the first paragr...
