ITFS October meeting

Next meeting is the 2nd Tuesday in October, that's the 12th @ 8.30 PM upstairs in Rosie O'Grady's Harolds Cross.

Peter Kirwin will be giving a talk on "the elements of a successful aquascape".

So if you have an interest in planted tanks this will be a meeting worth going to.

As always all welcome.

NOW HOWS THAT FOR A LISTING !!!!

If anyone going to the meeting this evening has a spare starter culture of grindle or white worms will they bring them along.

I'll bring you one of each

Luck of all luck, I was planning on coming to this tonight as I'm not busy tonight.....rushed home early from work for it: but found a large tank with only half of its water still in the tank, and a very wet carpet.
A saratogo and his pacu friends were not looking happy sitting in such shallow water. !!
So, finding a leak is going to be fun.

Maybe hope to catch another meeting.

ian

Not good,but just top it up,come along,and worry about it tommorrow:ohmy:

Hope you sorted your leak Ian.

Peter's presentation was excellent and there was a great turn out including a few new faces to see it.

Thanks Peter.
