Hello everyone,
Its me.. well not "me", its fishnvw, Anthony. Just wanted to let everyone know that the greater seattle aquarium sociaty is having a Tom Barr lecture. That's right the Tom Barr will be at there meeting on sept. 14 2010. Tom Barr is a very well known aquarium plant guru, he has both a forum (the barr report) as well as a meathod the Tom Barr meathod named after him. This guy is up there with Takashi Amano, Oliver Knott, and waldstein. i dont know if there is an auction as a matter of fact i dont know much about it at all. I am not even a member of there club yet, but what I do know is its free, its Tom Barr, and its fish people. Last time I went I had such a great experiance that I changed the date of my boy scout meetings so I can start attending....... So step right up, come one, come all, if you have ever even thought of sticking a plant in your fish tank then be there (and try not to get suckered into buying a shirt unless you want one). Cheers all.

For more information visit the GSAS web site.

Yes there is going to be a "mini auction", I went to the Ad Konigs lecture and the "mini auction" had like 20 diffrent types of plants, and several fish, as well as some dry goods. Its worth it just to see Tom barr, its also worth it just go to the auction.

I'm planning to be there with my older boy. I usually teach on tuesday/thursday nights so this is like the one meeting of the year I can go to since school doesn't start till next week.

I'm going to bring my daughter along. We're going to see Kataklysm :punk: in Seattle tonight and have to drive back, so it'll be a really late night, but I'm going to talk her into spending the next evening surrounded by fish geeks. 8)

We'll be the ones with long hair, probably somewhere in the back corner. :D

For anyone that hasn't been to a meeting, bring some money and a spare cooler if you have one because you will probably see some plants or fish that you must have. I never leave home without my fish transporting cooler!

Yeah, any ol' cooler. If you don't have far to drive, you probably won't even need that. I just like to load my bags of fish into the cooler for the insulation and safekeeping. I actually strap them in with the seat belt too. :)

If anyones interested in a water sprite plant, i just uprooted the biggest one in my tank, its easily over 7 inches. looking for trade for any other undemanding plants, but looking for a nice foreground plant or dwarf sag

Yes they are bagged.

Maybe I just go overboard with mine? I always transport them in a cooler, I've been doing it that way for years. :scratch:

Forget I said anything about the cooler ... :p ... just bring money in case you want to buy any plants or fish (and take them home the way you normally do.) ;)
