Who said people from New Jersey don't have class? What a nice note.

And what a great presentation. Thank you Ghazanfar, once again, for hosting and for an outstanding presentation.

Thanks for hosting. Had a great time as always.

Great to see the Jersey folks again. Man, it was what the Erin/Jeff Senske scaping at Phoenixville since I saw you guys last?

Hope to see more of you in the future.

Cheers.

Are there pics of GG's tanks coming? I saw them when he said they were a big mess, and he was building them up for the meeting. Of course, his mess was better than any aquascape I've had.

Ben, I have some on my website. The official GWAPA writeup should come sometime this week.

Might want to pull 90p pics, I think he's going to be competing with it.... same for my 180g, but I don't expect it'll be an issue for me, heh.

Ghazanfar, THANK YOU for your hospitality! What an awesome meeting, as usual. Absolutely amazing tanks!!!! God, I could have sat in front of that 220 all day long, it was so meditative. Amy is never going to forgive you for letting me see that, because now I absolutely have to have one. :mrgreen:

Great talk on emersed grown plants, too, I learned a lot, not only from your talk, but from talking to Jim and Sean after the meeting, too. Man, this club rocks - so many knowledgeable, friendly people.

The idea of using an emersed setup to grow up carpet plants like marsilea had not occurred to me - I'll plant some this week!

I have one question, though - Ghazanfar mentioned something about not using new Aquasoil for something, but I can't remember what it was. I think it was that there are certain species of crypts that don't like new aquasoil in an emersed setup. Or was it that certain plants don't like new aquasoil either emersed or submersed?

Don't use new aquasoil for growing Elatine species. They don't like the ammonia created by fresh Aquasoil.

Cheers.

Or, in my experience, Downoi. (Pogostemon helferi)

I have to take a moment and say a big "thank you" to the folks at GWAPA as well.

Meeting quite a few of the GWAPA members for the first time was a delight! Many of us have chatted back and forth online for years, so meeting and finally getting a chance to say "hello" and shake hands was truly a pleasure. It is also great getting re-acquainted with those of you whom I have met in the past. Glad to see everyone is doing so well. A fine group of people you all are.

A big thank you to Ghazanfar for the invitation. This was the second trip down to Ghazanfar's for me. His aquariums, knowledge and hospitality are always impressive.

We all hope to come down again for another meeting in the future. We at NJAGC extend an invitation to any and all who ever want to venture north to join us at an NJAGC meeting.

As always, another outstanding meeting. Ghaz's tanks are truly amazing. It was very nice meeting the NJ folks too and I hope they will join us again at future meetings.
