Yes, you should have done that already Sean ;)

Enjoy!
Thanks for the info Lis , also thanks for the invite.
Looking forward to hearing from you tomorrow evening, Charlie, and any other OVAS members who would like to drop by the site and talk plants (of course, there is also the concurrent FW chat).
Before, during, or after the chat, you are all welcome to post an introductory "hello" on the forum; pics are always appreciated.
During plant chats, I'm always interested in hearing what plants other people are growing at present. Last month, Charlie convinced me to try Eriocaulon setaceum, a plant I probably would have otherwise passed by, because of its difficulty rating. It's pearling a bit, but I'm not sure yet whether it will live.
Next plant chat will be Wed April 22nd; 8 till 10 pm. Anybody is welcome to drop by (you would have to register for the forum first, of course). There are a few advanced plant keepers who frequent the chat, but quite a few beginners and novices as well.
Just a reminder to all that Aquatic Plant Chat is tonight from 8:00-10:00pm AST
J. R Manderville, our own resident plant expert, who will be there to chat with you about all things green in your tank.
Whether you are new to aquatic plants or have a seasoned green thumb, this chat can't be missed! All are welcome!
Sorry I missed it, I couldn't get to a PC >:(

You were not the only one that missed it Hank, i was there for a bit, i would urge you planted tank folks to take up the invitation from our sister club to partake on these monthly chats, always good to bounce ideas & learn form a larger pool of hobbyist.
Thanks for dropping by Charlie and Dan. Hopefully next time you will be able to join us, smalltownfan. Last night there was lots of talk about ABNPs, gouramis, and of course plants.
Next plant chat on ECAS will be Wednesday Sept. 30rd, 8-10 pm (ADT). OVAS members (and forum users) are more then welcome to drop by to chat about all things green in your tank. There are a few advanced plant keepers who frequent the chat, but quite a few beginners and novices as well. All are welcome!
Next chat will be Wednesday (sorry about the short notice) Feb 17 8pm-10pm. Feel free to drop by. Also feel free to post some pics over at the ECAS site as well (I know some of you have awesome looking planted tanks)... I'm always trying to get more folks in the area interested in plants.
