For starters, our                2.5G Aquascaping Contest got underway when we handed out all of                the tanks, equipment, and aquasoil to all participants. Ghazanfar                also gave us an update from the board members&#8217; recent meeting with                CCA and PVAS about the upcoming aquarium festival this fall: AquaFest                2007. GWAPA will be bringing in a yet to be determine speaker to                talk about aquatic plants. Other clubs will be bringing in speakers                to talk about fish and other aquarium related topics. We also talked                about little bit about GWAPA&#8217;s upcoming road trip to Florida to                collect native plants\/fish, and tour some of the aquarium-related                facilities in the state. Finally, the meeting ended with another                huge &#8220;mini&#8221; auction.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/articles\/may2007\/images\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nAngled view of the 215G tank.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/articles\/may2007\/images\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nNot only planted tanks, but vivariums too!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/articles\/may2007\/images\/4.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nYes, Ghazanfar does reefs too.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/articles\/may2007\/images\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nGhazanfar has some crypts growing immersed.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/articles\/may2007\/images\/6.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nLook at that tank!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/articles\/may2007\/images\/7.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nGhazanfar opens the meeting.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/articles\/may2007\/images\/8.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nEveryone at attention, goods are being auctioned.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/articles\/may2007\/images\/9.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nYes, he&#8217;s that fast.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/articles\/may2007\/images\/10.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nSo proud, and he didn&#8217;t even grow it!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/articles\/may2007\/images\/11.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nContinuing the auction&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/articles\/may2007\/images\/12.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nStill auctioning&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/articles\/may2007\/images\/14.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nThe 2.5G aquascaping contest materials.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/articles\/may2007\/images\/15.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nGhazanfar demonstrates how he fishes Cherry shrimp out of his filter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GWAPA&#8217;s May 2007 meeting at Ghazanfar Ghori&#8217;s house in Brambleton, VA had another fine turnout with 15-20 people.
