January meeting recap - Nature Aquarium Society of Houston (NASH)

TNguyen · 01-18-2009, 08:00 PM

What a way to kick off the New Year! Great to see old faces and welcome new faces to the club. There were also a few member from GHAC (Greater Houston Aquarium Club). Total of 17 showed up! This meeting was about setting up a 75gal inspired by an anubias setup on Aquajournal. This also gives new members a chance to learn and understand the process of setting up a planted tank. Hope there was something that everyone can learn from. Enough of my rambling. Here’s are some pic.

Cheers,
Thanh

I missed this one too... apparently I did not wake up to the sounds of my phone nor the beating of my door.

It was a terrific meeting. I learned alot about planting techniques and had a blast playing in the anubias bucket!

It was great seeing you guys again, and great meeting new faces. Can't wait for the next meeting.

Oh, I got my CO2 hooked up finally. No more DIY!! And finally got that HOB filter off my tank and replaced with a POWERFUL 2217! Thanks, Thanh and Kevin.
