June's Super Big Meeting @ Fish 4 U - Dueling Aquascapers

First, thank you to all who showed up to May's meeting despite the beautiful weather. I know it's hard to think about your aquarium when it's so nice outside!

Anyways, we are very excited about June's meeting - I know I say that a lot, but this one is going to be particularly good.

During Kevin and my trip to San Francisco we bought a 60-p ADA tank for Fish 4 U. This is the first ADA tank in a Utah fish store, and to celebrate Fish 4 U has asked NACU to set it up.

During NACU's June meeting Kevin and I will be setting up both the 60-p and a PASS Iron Chef style. That's right, dueling aquascapers face off in a planted tank frenzy. The 60-p will be set up with all the best hardware - glass pipes, excellent lighting, powerful filtration, pressurized CO2, etc. The PASS will have a few extras it normally doesn't have to allow easier maintenance for Fish 4 U.

This is our first meeting at a LFS, and Fish 4 U plans to have a large plant order correlate with our meeting. I've also been pushing hard to have lots of other plant related materials there too - like substrates, dosing stuff (Pfertz), lighting, and who knows - maybe an ADA tank for sale. Hopefully, when Fish 4 U sees how strong the planted tank community is they will be bolstered to support it better.

I hope to see all of you there to support NACU and Fish 4 U in this first big step in creating a true Utah nature aquarium community.
