Freshwater Tank Builds / Re: 48 Gallons Rimless Planted...

A small update on the tank.
-I installed a circulation pump to get more water moving
-all the fish and plant are thriving!

The last steps are to tint and varnish the base and paint the light mast.
Maybe put some door as well (glass).
Oh and a toplid! Those corys are scary!

I'll be there!
Also since I have way more free time now I'd be happy to volunteer for the executive committee for the next season.

May 29 is a Wednesday and unfortunately my daughter is young to be up that late on a school night. Thank you though She would totally love it.

It is not this Monday (Victoria Day) but the one afterwards if that makes a difference.

If not, bring her along! She will love it!

Have a great meeting! I was looking forward to the presentation. I won't attend because it's my daughter's birthday. I thought the meeting would be on the Tuesday. Have a great summer!

Picked up one Water Lettuce and one hyacinth at Big Als for $9 each or 3 plants for $24.
Used to get them from CTC in Kanata other years. Some other CTC have them but not sure which ones.
I have also gotten them from one of our other sponsors "Ponds and Aquaria" out in Kinburn. (If you go there let me know).

Does anyone know which stores/places already carry water hyacinth? And/or other pond plants/marginals?

Hi All,

   Wow, time has flown, and we are at the last meeting of the season.
We have a fantastic speaker lined up, Eleonore, who will be sharing her experience with tub ponds. This is the perfect time of year to start thinking of it, and it should be a great talk.

   Also, as the season rolls to a close, it is time for the election of the executive committee for the 2024-2025 season. All positions are available for those interested, though some of the current exec have chosen to remain, if they are able to.

The exec officers consists of
President (Vacant)
Vice - President (Vacant)
Secretary -
Treasurer - Mike M.

Committee Chairs
Auction chair - Alyssa
Sponsorship - (Vacant)
Membership - Liam
Program - (Vacant)
Online Presence (Vacant)

  If you have a bit of spare time, and are willing to help out, feel free to jump in, the club is always looking for volunteers. Regardless of experience level, OVAS is happy to accept anyone.

And finally, we have our aquascaping bowl show. I am sure that we will have some amazing displays and hopefully we have lots of tanks to judge.

See you then
Jody
