Re: [GSAS-board] Steev, Text 2 or 3



Minor correction: Florida Aquatic Nurseries did not donate the plants, just ADG and Luis himself. They happen to BE FAN plants, but were ones bought by ADG.

Teh text of the presidents message is as follows.  I am finishing the how to 
work with SMS article and will forward picturs for the newsletter.  Anyone else 
have good picture of a swap?

Message from the President:

I hope everyone enjoyed our March meeting, on plants, by Luis Navarro. I am always impressed by how much can be done with just a few plants and an asymmetric design. Hopefully some of the rare donations from Luis, Aquarium Design Group (www.aquariumdesigngroup.com) and Florida Aquatic Nurseries will take root and be shared. My tanks have regressed to a âglass menagerieâ status, I, for one, will now be moving forward and scaling back from ârampant collectorâ status to a more stable and pacific âgreenâ planted tank style soon. You can expect a huge crop to show up at the April Auctionâ

Our April Auction is right around the corner on SATURDAY April 12th. If you can help set up, please stop by (starting at 10 am). If you a selling a large number of items or heavy tanks please check in at 11 am or sooner. Directions to the loading ramp are in the announcement below. The auction starts at noon and goes until everything has a new home.

Finally, thanks to the efforts of Larry and Susan our club is literally swimming in the inexpensive black substrate sold as Soil Master Select or Turface. This cheap, black substrate is great in âfish tanks, with plantsâ such as my large clown barbs featured a little latter in this issue. I also included a few tips learned from working with Fluorite to make a substrate swap easier.
