The planted tank for Aquafest

[JMLenke]

What plants do we need for Aquafest?

[Jeff120]

Im thinking stems, lots of stems!!!!!! Really we need anything, Stems, midground plants, foreground.

[JMLenke]

what size tank is it gonna be?

[krisw]

I think we're trying to get a 60cm ADA tank. We'll probably also need some form of mid and foreground plants like blyxa japonica, anubias, glosso, HC, marsilea quadrafolia, etc...

[JMLenke]

Are we getting the offerings back if we want them?

Or is it a prize?

Just wondering which plants I should uhh "offer".

I was probably going to offer up one of the two larger Wendtii's I have

Right side front

The sword is gone.

I clipped a bunch last PVAS meeting and dumped/sold it.

I think you'd consider it a club donation. I believe the thought is that we'll auction off the entire setup, tank, plants, and all the next day. That's done really well at some of the AGA conventions where they've done that. If the plant isn't used in the scape, I'm sure you could reclaim it, but it might become difficult to keep track of who's plant is who's...

[JMLenke]

Thats what I thought but wasnt sure and didnt want to give a plant I like away hehe.

Hmm, Ill try to grab some pics to see if they are "show tank" quality before I offer them up.

Im running out of room in the 20 and 15 from all the random crypt bits I have snagged (mostly from Ghaz I think).

[Cristy Keister]

I can donate Blyxa japonica, Hygro. corymbosa, and Potamogetong gayi.

[ingg]

I should be ready to trim some blood red Ludwigia by then if not before, the repens/arcuata hybrid, or pure arcuata.

I have plenty of Rotala m., regular val/sagitaria, some corkscrew val, and a few pounds of naja grass.
