So how about the pictures of some set ups.
Like of the tank room, raffle stuff other than the two tanks.
Anybody get the vendor rooms?
The club tables.
Etc.

Looking for more pictures.

Johnny from Michigan posted a huge writeup on his site this weekend: http://www.aquascapist.com/aquariumArticles_aquafest2009.php

cool article. I didnt see them fill those tanks after the judging, how did they keep from clouding the water? Filling with pitchers by hand?

Kris how are the Rainbow darters doing? They looked so nice in the bag I bet they look great all settled in. Got any pics? What are their requirements?

 

[Pat Kelly]

Very nice article

 

[krisw]

F8LBITE, we filled the tanks very slowly... That's the trick with any planted tank to avoid clouding. Plant it dry so you're not kicking up dust when you plant. Then, fill it up slowly using cups/plates/hands/whatever to avoid jetting water directly on the substrate. The rainbow darters are doing nicely. I've got them in a riparium setup with a lot of flower in there. I've been hand feeding them some tubiflex worms, until I get out to get blackworms. Very cool fish...
