Hiya,

Newbie to aquatic plants here in Vacaville. I'm planning on setting up either a 29 gal or a 45 gal tank. Any plans for a September meeting? Would love to listen and learn.

Hi! Sorry you missed the September meeting, which was last night. If you go to http://intplantscaping.meetup.com/11 and sign up (it's free) you will be on our email list and get notified of the meetings. Our next one is tentatively scheduled for October 2nd and will be a "field trip" to a local aquatic plant grower. It should be a very good meeting.

The October meeting will be on October 2nd at the usual Pizza place - Roundtable Pizza at Howe Ave and Arden Way, at 6:00 pm. The "field trip" had to be called off because our destination aquatic plant nursery is not yet in shape to receive visitors. But, we should be able to meet there for the November meeting. For the October meeting, since we hadn't planned any other program, I will do a brief presentation about substrates, and I promise to bring enough charcoal colored Soilmaster for about a 5 gallon tank to give away.

Our November meeting will be the 6th, next Tuesday night, at the Roundtable Pizza at Arden and Howe, starting at about 6:00 pm. Tom Barr will be doing the presentation this time, discussing his CO2 reactors, and answering our questions. Plus, he promises to bring along some of his surplus equipment to sell at rock bottom prices. And, of course, we will have our usual plant swap - free plants for everyone whether you bring plants or not. This meeting looks like it will be very well attended, so don't miss it if you are in the Sacramento area.

Can I join up with you guys?

I'm from Fresno, but you seem to be the closest group to me. I'm sure I can make the occasional meeting, after all, I could use it as an excuse to hit up Fry's, Ikea and Capitol Aquariums.

Thanks!
Mario

Mario,
I think the best way to get info from this group is to sign up to their yahoo group.
I live in Chico, and I WILL make it to a meeting this fall!

Does the Yahoo group still exist? I am from Vacaville and would like to join SAPS.

*Never mind I found it from an old post where I asked the same question 4 years ago, haha.
