Portland Oregon Plant Tank Talk

["Rachel Sandage" <rachelsor at hotmail_com>]

Hi all,

The Greater Portland Aquarium Society's meeting on July 23rd is about 
planted tanks. The talk, presented by Julie Zeppieri and David Brooks, will 
be a "how to" demonstration, and probably aimed more at beginners than 
advanced plant people. In a nutshell, David and Julie plan to set up a 
couple of planted tanks right there in front of the group, discussing what 
they are doing and why as they go along. One tank will be low-tech (Julie's 
specialty) and one will be higher tech (David is in charge of this one). 
They will talk about the basic stuff: lighting, substrate and additives, 
CO2, and the fish and plants that go into a plant tank. There will be ample 
time for questions, as well as a raffle and a general auction. For more info 
see www.gpas.org.

(It figures that I'd be out of town for this one - not only a talk on 
planted tanks, but also the catfish & loaches bowl show, my favorite fishes. 
Rats.)

-Rachel
