The winners of the 2011 Aquascaping Contest were announced:

Congratulations to the winners! Nine tanks were entered in this year’s contest, which was for Dutch style aquascapes, any size tank.
A plant database has been set up on a Google docs spreadsheet. Members, please add your name and what species you are growing. This database will help individual members and the club as a whole keep track of what is being grown in members’ tanks. A link to this database can be found on the forum.
Watch the forum for information on possible group orders with Sera and Green Leaf Aquariums sometime within the next few months.
Great bargains were had at our mini-auction.
