August 20 Meeting – PLANTS!!!

Location:  Dream Lanes – 13 Atlas Ct., Madison (east side near Cottage Grove Rd. and Hwy. 51)

Time:  Doors open at 11:00, and the meeting starts at 11:30.

This month we will be featuring three mini-programs about keeping plants.  The keynote presenter will be our own Gordon Hartmann, so will give is a presentation about his low tech planted tank methods.  Here is a link to images of Gordon’s 2004 AGA Aquascaping Contest 1st Place entry:  AGA 2004.

We will also hear from Randy Peterson about some of his tricks for maintaining his aquascapes, and from Ted Judy about building a layered soil substrate.

It is impossible to start a new planted tank without plants, so the club is going bring in some plants from Waterscapes Nurseries.  Six starter packages of plants will be given away as door prizes to those in attendance.  Identical starter packages will be available for sale ($5), and some other plants will be put into the mini-auction.

Also at this meeting:

  • the first BAP submissions for the new year
  • mini auction
  • preview of the upcoming Fall Fish Fest (October is not far away!)
