Title: Monday Club Meeting: Understanding CO2 in the planted tank
Post by: ajm1961 on February 19, 2015, 07:03:43 AM
Hey everyone, on Monday night, or own Errol Choo, along with Rah, will be presenting "Understanding CO2 in the planted tank". They will cover what CO2 does, how it helps plant growth, and how to set-up your equipment for success.

For those of you who don't know Errol, he is "Charlie" on our site, or own resident expert on aquatic plants. He has many years experience on the subject. His tanks are a delight to see, as witnessed by his pics on the site.

**UPDATE**
Rah will demonstrate a nano table-top planted tank set up with smaller plant species, moss and perhaps some hardscape. He will incorporate a little bit of plant types (stem, rosette, epiphytes, floaters, etc.) and talk about propagation methods for each and how to subsequently plant them with that in mind. There will also be discussion on livestock selection for those planted nano set-ups.

Don't miss this opportunity to educate yourself on plants for your aquarium. This will be a fun night!

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 7:00 PM AT TOM BROWN ARENA, 2nd FLOOR.
SEE YOU THERE!

Great meeting - Errol and Rah, thank you for the presentations - some good information on CO2 and nano plant keeping.
A good turnout at the meeting, as well as at the tavern afterwards!
Look forward to our next meeting, March 24, with Larry Johnson, Swimming with Cichlids.

:P
