i have been in the hobby of plants for about 2 and a years. i am apart of Gold Coast Aquarium Society of South Florida but its more about fish and cichlids. there are a few of us in there that have planted tanks and some of us are actually trying to get more plant aquarist in the club. so if anybody is interested in organizing a club let me know.

hey guys met Matt aka Solid305 tonight at the Gold Coast Aquarium Society. was a lot of plants and i now met another person interested in our brewing club. we now have around 6-7 people strong who are really interested in a plant club so lets get it going. again my email is [email protected] email me so we can get the ball rolling.

thanks,
JJ

hey glad you joined. looks like are little club is starting to get going. if anything we have about 5-6 people strong. and if we met i can pic you you up lljdma its no problem. the other question is who is willing to hold the meetings as our little club has no money. i would hold but i live in a one bedroom on south beach so its not big enough. any takers?? anyway lets keep the post going and discussing ideas for a meeting time and date.

thanks,
JJ

hey whats wrong everyone lets not stop posting as we finally are getting people interested. we can really do this!

thanks,
JJ

 

[jerrybforl]

its understandable but i dont have skype and not sure what it is i have aol where one can create their own chat. but we could have a small meeting at a place like you suggested to get to know everyone. i have now met two of the people who are on the post and know another as a close friend. so i dont know how this is going to workout.

thats good and all but everyone has to join that and this may be a sticky spot for the development of the club. we can all meet in a public area or something that way there are plenty of people around. you can even bring someone if you like to make you feel more comfortable. we just need to get the club up and running i think before it starts to die out again.

thanks,
JJ

 

[jerrybforl]

come on guys no responses. if everyone is really interested let me know. we can have a good club.

JJ

 

[jerrybforl]

this is the things guys we have to start a club before we can actually go out and rent a place to hold them. i dont have space in my apartment to hold a meeting or i would. and i am setting it or at least trying to. im trying to get everyones input but all i get is "im in" or "im interested" but no one is willing to hold it. i suggested to meet at a park or something to introduce ourselves but again nothing how are we supposed to get a club going if no one is willing to stepup and say something. no suggestions!!! you mentioned to me that you go to school well so do i and work full time. but here i am trying to get this thing going without much help. everyone has or needs to be more willing to help with ideas or suggestions or we will never get this club going. period.

thanks,
JJ

 

[jerrybforl]

bump anyone still interested in this club. im trying to get a spot. going to ask neighbor hood fish farm if we can hold it there until we can get a permanent place. hope my last post didnt scare anyone away.

JJ

 

[jerrybforl]

hey thanks Solid im really trying to get this thing going just no one has any input. so as soon as i get something set ill post it

 

[jerrybforl]

thanks for the info. for starters we need to get a meeting going and then from there we can move on with it. as far as money and stuff goes that would come in all due time. we just need to get the ball rolling.

Hey Matt,

I was there Thursday morning with my friend asking them the same thing. They told us they have to schedule some things. so looks like we might have a place to meet. anyway lets keep this thing going.

here is a private message i recieved about a south florida plant forum. check it out.

Hi,

Lets discuss this further. I started a small forum just for us South Florida aquarists. Would appreciate it if you could sign up there too so we can see if we can start an online as well as offline community. This may make it easier to get things started.

Hey guys im bumping this again as I would really like to get our own plant club. if anyone interested let me know. we need to set a place and time to meet. we can move on from there. lets do this. the hobby is growing ever more in south florida and we need to get a club in place.

 

[jerrybforl]

Guys my name is JJ and im a member of GC. I was at the AGA convention and it was great. Didnt get to do all the activities but did enough. Look forward to meeting you guys.

 

[jerrybforl]

probably in the next two years.

 

[jerrybforl]

guys if we can get enough ppl that are willing to really get a club going and maybe someone willing to host then we have an opportunity. I would host but my apartment is small and would be tight if even a few showed up. I've been trying to get a club going for years now! Still hope to one day.
