DFWAPC November meeting - Dallas Ft Worth Aquatic Plant Club DFWAPC

niko · 11-08-2008, 07:14 AM

The DFWAPC October meeting will be at Jackson's house in Hurst.

Not everybody that attended the last club meeting at Mike's house saw what Jackson brought as clippings. He had a huge cooler completely full of plants! There must have been enough plants to stuff a 6' tank! Come to November's meeting to see how he does it!

The meeting is on Saturday, November 15, at 1PM.

For directions go here:

Plant clippings will be limited to only 100 per person, first come first serve, so don't be late.

See you there!

I'll be there.

I might have a few underwater cockroaches to donate to the raffle (more commonly known as Cherry Shrimp).

Glad to hear your gonna swing by Mike, that Hygro you gave me last meeting is growing like crazy. (the long grassy looking stuff) I will have to do some extra work before the meeting, but the tanks will look nothing like Mikes for sure.

Awh man, thats the same weekend I have drill. I was really looking forward to my first meeting. I'll definitely be there for Decembers meeting.

Great...I plan on coming. I'm excited to get to attend my first meeting and meet you guys.

This will be my first time. So I will come too. Mike are you going to bring some red plants with you?

Cocobid · 11-09-2008, 08:08 AM

I plan on making it.
Nikolay was wondering if you can get your hands on any of these Ancistrus sp. Pucallpa??

wwh2694, right now I've got a stem or 2 of Purple Cabomba, Red Ludwigia Repens and a few small size stems of Altenathera Reneicki. They are all fast growers under good lights, ferts and co2.

I am trying to grow out some stems of Ludwigia Glandulosa I got from Brandon at the last club meeting, but it is a slow grower and I'm not quite ready to trim them yet. Very deep red/purplish plant though. I think it will be worth the effort.

A lot of different plants I have get reddish tops when they get close to the light. Such as Ludwigia Cuba, Bacopa Caroliniana and sunset hygrophila.

Our host for this club meeting, Jackson, has some of the reddest limnophila aromatica I have ever seen.

I am thinking about cleaning out 1 of my grow out tanks and start a moss farm for my Yellow Shrimps. If anyone has an unusual moss they could bring, I would be appreciative.

Hello,

I would like to come (first meeting for me too). I am in Bryan/College Station and have to travel for any plant club, so it is either you guys or NASH

I am setting up a 50G for my first planted tank right now, it has been ready for plants for a few days now. So I won't have any plants to bring since I am a newb but I would really like to know what shops in town are good to buy from and of course will take whatever freebies people are giving away. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just common fast growing stems to get a high light/high CO2 tank going.

I can drill tanks if anybody needs that done. I just put three 0.75" holes into my 50G for bulkheads a few weeks back. So I guess I have that to offer.
