About twenty people showed up for this year’s GWAPA holiday party. We had lots of food and drinks and great conversations. The new GWAPA board was elected. Several items (thermometers, tweezers, scissors, a skimmer, and a CO regulator) donated by Oase were raffled off. Finally, we had our monthly auctions.

Over 30 people witnessed how Corey Wickliffe and Nick Kinser created two paludariums. They made slightly different setups, one was a smaller tank with only about 3 gallons of water while the other one was twice as large. Nick used a more traditional method in terms of aquascaping and planting. Corey, on the other hand, planted her tank by using the background for the plants to anchor to. When the talks were finished, the larger one was raffled off along with a hang-on-the-back filter with a heater that was donated by Oase. A special thank you goes to Capital Exotic Fish store for donating the equipment for the demo.
Please note: Our next meeting will be on Sunday, December 3rd.
