I'll chime in on the filter suggestion. We could do this on one of the non speaker dates. I would be willing to say a few things about Aqua Clears, various sponge filters, Fluvals, UG etc. I'm sure others would have some insights on other types. It could be one of those show and tell, and how to make a few things as well. dave -----Original Message----- From: Marie Weiler [mailto:MarieW@marquand.com] Sent: Monday, August 20, 2001 9:43 AM To: 'gsas-member@thekrib.com' Subject: RE: speaker requests Kathy, I don't know whether I'm responding too late or whether this would be considered too elementary, but would a discussion of filters be possible? I'd love to hear comparisons of various types and brands of filters and why you might use one rather than another. I just bought a Magnum to augment my AquaClears, and am very pleased with the results, but maybe I would have been even happier with a Fluval, and what the heck is water polishing anyway?

What did you like last year, or what didn't we do that you would like to see. Do you want more out of town speakers? What topics? More rountables? Topics? (ie last year we did live foods, lights, gear, etc) Anything else you would like to see or do. Just let us know this is the time!!! Kathy
