July '08 Meeting & Pizza Pary

Yeah, this meeting was great. Thanks, Cheryl! Thanks, too, to Mike!

I took home a few new plants and it served as a good impetus for modifying my aquascape.

I had planted a lot of val spirallis thinking it was a shorter val. It grew to the top of the tank -- not the mid-ground plant I had intended. Well, now I'm moving it to the back. Still a work in progress.

Sure was nice to see everyone. It's a treat to get to talk to people who share an excitement about plants.

For those who weren't able to make it, we had 12 people at the meeting, so that is up from recent months and approaching the good ole days. I think the club may be on the way up.

The meeting was very, very nice!

There were more people that I thought would come. That's a good sign, we just need to get more organized and things will pick up again.

In the last 2 or so months I've met at least 3 local people that we have never heard about that have full blown planted tanks - CO2 and everything else.

So things are looking up.

Thank you, Cheryl! And everybody that actively discussed the future of the club here on APC!

I also enjoyed the meeting. It is getting me enthused again.

I really enjoyed the meeting too. Thanks to all that organized the meeting and brought all of the neat plants and other neat stuff to give away!

P.S. Nikolay, the lights look fantastic!!!

Good pizza, good meeting to get things back again on track.

Great fun. I planted the 3 new plants I got in my collectoritis 90G tank. Hope to link a picture in the next few days.

Good to see everyone again.

Great job everyone. Your favorite long distance member still keeps track of all of the goings on. Maybe one day I'll get my 75 back going and I can send plants for meetings.

It was so great to see everyone again. KJM, let's see a photo of your tank with the new lights.
