Title: Plantaholics anonymous IV
Post by: charlie on October 19, 2013, 09:03:45 AM
Well fellow planted tank hobbyist & friends, a few of us have voiced a desire for another fun , friendly gathering.
If you can take sometime out on Sunday Nov. 10 to spend a few hours  to gather at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 595 on Bank St ( Bank & Walkley) @ 1.00 PM ? please indicate in this thread.
The Legion has a paid bar, we can do a pot luck for the food.
I will confirm the location soon.
Any other suggestions welcomed , lets do this.

That may work, hoping that nothing comes up.

I may throw in Greg's basement as other location. Unfortunately I missed the meeting there and had no chance to see his tanks in person. :) Otherwise the legion is ok too ...

I'm planning to host again after Christmas like last year. It works for several reasons, but the fall and early winter are too busy around here to consider doing it 'till then.

Ok. I'm coming, and I've got a lot of plants to spare. If anyone wants anything on this list please pm me and I'll bring it. I've got Cryptocoryne wendtii 'brown' (four only), C. parvula (four also), C. retrospyralis (1 only), Rotalla indica (lots), Bolbitis heudelotii (lots), Sagattaria subulata (a few only), Bacopa caroliniana (maybe 15 stems), and Red Tiger lotus (3 med, 2 small). All are submerged at the moment and I will cut them as you request. Cheers.

Sounds good.
For the others 8 or so, can we get a teaser of what you are bringing?
