When's the next meeting guys? Let's get this going again.
I'm down to attend! Just need the where when and what to bring!
Morgan
Now that you guy`s mention it , what does the others say?
If we can`t find a host, perhaps pub or family restaurant ?
Errol
Or maybe even a sponsor's place like got fish? ;)
Greg mentioned something about Feb once before I believe. Still up for that Greg? Otherwise, I'm down for whatever works out!
If it helps, Rob said at the meeting that February's speaker is presenting on plants!

Perhaps Rob could be more specific? I'd love to go. Rob?
He said it's in the works and once its finalized it will be posted here on the website! Although maybe he can toss us a bone?
Sounds great - would be good to get together again.
Gregs due a visit to show us the monster tank. I'm voting for there. ;)
Ok. How 'bout a Plantaholics meeting here, on Saturday, February 28th starting at 2ish?

Count me in!
I can't think of a better backdrop to a plantaholics social than a planted 220g.
i'm in, Thanks Greg

Hi Morgan, I think Greg meant at his place, we usually gather at someone`s home ( anyone who is will to host a bunch of planted tank freaks ;)), this is no way a break away group from the OVAS club, bust a group of OVAS members & non members with the same common interest in one room .
Hope you can make it.
I`m in.
I really think we should have some sort of plant related topic as a main feature, along with questions from anyone addressed by others.
Errol
I'll be there too

I'm in as well.

I mean my place. Those who are committed to coming, please pm me so I know how many are coming. And those who don't know my address, I will send it to you.

I agree and I'm actively looking, and loudly thinking: What topic could we do???? I wanted to have someone do a demo set up of a dirted tank and talk about the dos and don'ts but my expert isn't available. If someone has an idea, or has experience with something for which they'd wouldn't mind doing a 15 minute demo, it would be great. Those of you who've been to plantaholics meetings know how informal these things are. It'd be like a chat with friends about something you know a lot about.

My bad, and I was just there too. I won't give anything away but suffice to say it looks awesome.
Greg, how about you doing a bit on just how you maintain such a magnificent large aquarium, I'

That's a great suggestion. To take it one step further, how about going through every detail of the tank; including lighting, substrate, fert dosages, root tabs, co2 diffusion, fish, plants etc.?
I'm in.

....
Ok. We're up to 7. Anyone else?
Richard? You can't end your post with "I'....". It leaves someone else to fill in the rest.... like this....
... bring the beer, wine and anything else you need. I'll even wash your car and mow the lawn before I come in"... :)
Sounds great Richard. Thanks. And if it makes sense, then, yah, I'll talk about the big tank in the room. But are you coming?
Any room for a long forgotten plant freak?
I'll stop in if its still going after 5.

Always room for plant freaks ;D, hmmm am I to assume you got the bug again?
looking forward to seeing you around bud.
I guess I'm in too!
Now what was I about to say.... ????
It wasn't anything about cars or lawns, must have been beer.
Oh yeh, I got the beer.
I guess Dave will close early now
I'm in but I'll need the address! Also can I bring something?
would love to come...address? and should we bring anything?

It's been a while. Good to see you checking in!
I am tentatively in.
Ok, so I'm trimming and scrubbing for the Plantaholics meeting on Saturday (2ish to 7ish). We are 14 at the moment, but there's always room to fit others. If anyone else is coming, please pm me for the location.
Also, due to the numbers, I expect it'll get warm here, so I'll need to open a window. This may make the floor cold, so bring indoor shoes or heavy socks.
I'll have everything so there's no need to bring anything except for plants to trade or give away. Woohooo..... I'm pumped! Cheers. Everyone
I bought too much osmocote root tabs from ebay so if anyone wants some, let me know...free!
I'm also looking for some tenellus to replace the blyxa that keeps melting in my tank.

I have lots of tenellum (aka tenellus), but I'm not sure it'll do any better than Blyxa if lighting is the limiting factor. I find tenellum needs as much, or more light. I've got them both in 2 or 3 tanks, so you can judge for yourself when you get here Saturday.
I have both tenellum and blyxa in the same tank. I find the tenellum is doing better so I was just going to stick with one type of foreground plant.
So I guess I have blyxa available also but the stems are very short.
No one else is bringing anything?
Greg, thanks again for hosting! You have a beautiful home and what a fishroom. I had a great time seeing everyone, both new faces and old.
Thanks Brian for the Root tabs. I'll give them a try and let you know how they work out.
Thanks Mike and Errol for the plants. I will have to post some pics for some identification later.
I am so glad i found this site and joined the club. I hope i can give back as much as you all have given me.
Morgan
Nice meeting you Lexx.
Tanks look great wolfiewill. 8)
Greg,
Thanks for hosting the get together yesterday, it made for a great relaxed environment to chat about things plant and fish. It was also nice to meet some new faces and reacquaint with others.
We also shared a few laughs, which doesn't hurt lightening up the deep winter blues.
I was impressed with your setups, everything very well maintained and in show condition regardless of size - nice touch. Your 300G is a beast with that 36" width - 18 square feet of floorspace gets everyone green with envy.
I also came away with some nice ideas I saw that would make my space a little cleaner looking.
Thanks again for the invitation.
Now, getting back to that bubble counter and your cellphone...................;<)
Have a safe trip to Atlanta and don't eat all the dried goods on the way down !!
