About a dozen people visited Laurel for the September GWAPA meeting. Nick gave a talk about trimming plants in a planted aquarium. He showed off his aquascaping tools and explained the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. After describing his trimming process, which included cutting off every damaged or algae infested leaf and trimming the stems very close to the ground to enable them to create bushes, he trimmed the host’s 75 gallon tank. Once the plants were trimmed, Nick put a polishing filter in the tank to be used for about an hour only. Then he used a razor blade and melamine foam to clean the glass while intentionally stirring up the detritus for the filter to catch the particles.

Please join us on September, 28th at Cristy’s house for our next meeting.

Our own talented Nick Kinser will give us a demonstration on how to expertly trim plants to create beautiful aquascapes.

We are also ordering plants from ShopAquariumFish.com to be picked up at this meeting.  Members, go the Group Order forum to learn more about this Group Order.

We will also hold our regular monthly auction. Members and non-members are welcome!
