**FREE Presentation** Aquascaping Planted Tanks - GSAS

The Greater Seattle Aquarium Society (GSAS) is pleased to host noted aquatic plant and aquascaping enthusiast Kris Weinhold for our next meeting on May 12th.

Kris Weinhold grew up keeping aquariums, but really fell in love with planted aquariums about a decade ago, diving head-first into researching and experimenting with various plants, growing techniques, and aquascape designs. Kris is a past president of the Greater Washington Aquatic Plant Association (the other Washington), and has published articles in The Aquatic Gardener, Aquarium International, and had his photos appear in several other publications. He also maintains a website/blog showcasing his aquarium and nature photography, and his informative articles on aquarium keeping and aquatic plant ecology. Last month, he chaired the most recent Aquatic Gardeners Association Conference (see photo).

Kris's presentation will walk through the basic methods for designing, planting, and maintaining an aquascape. His methods will focus on planted aquaria, but are applicable to any beautifully aquascaped tank.

The presentation will be Tuesday, May 12th, 2015 at 7:30 PM at Seattle Pacific University; Otto Miller Hall; Room 109; West Nickerson Street and 3rd Avenue West.

Doors will open about 6:30 PM for a 'social hour'; the meeting will start at 7:30 PM.

After the meeting please join us for our monthly auction and help to support the club that brings us all our these outstanding speakers.

Hi All,

The regular GSAS meeting is next Tuesday evening; you will not want to miss it!

IN ADDITION: GSAS HAS ADDED A 2ND PRESENTATION ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 13th!!! Same location, SPU Campus Otto Miller Hall, but Room #127 (right next door)! In this meeting Kris will discuss some of the tips and tricks of aquascaping and since he has judged the AGA Contests he probably knows quite a few! Hope to see you at one or both of the meetings!

Is this going to be filmed? I cannot make it either day and would really love to see the presentation.

Hi Colin,

It is the speaker that determines if presentations can be recorded or not because the presentation is their intellectual property. Not only does a speaker determine if their presentation can be recorded they also determine how we can distribute it. They authorize if a recording can be streamed on the GSAS Website or will only be distributed via DVD in our GSAS library. - the club does not decide.

That said, whenever a speaker allows us to record a presentation GSAS will use its Blu-Ray equipment and make the recording available to our members. At this time we do not know if this speaker will allow to record his presentations or not.
