NEW Photo Gallery

We have a NEW Photo Gallery! I really do hate to change but I was unable to solve some of the problems I had setting up the old gallery.  So I checked this one and although I am sure we will find some issues, I have found it much easier to work with.  For now, anyone can view the photos in the gallery but adding photos is restricted to club members.  If you are a member and would like to add your photos, please download the instructions that you will find at the link below and give it a try.

Saturday, March 20th - Planted Aquarium Aquascaping Demonstration

krisPlanted aquariums are wonderful additions to any home, but successfully setting them up can sometimes be a challenge. Kris Weinhold will explain and demonstrate how anyone can easily setup and aquascape a planted aquarium that will be relatively easy to maintain.

Kris is the president of the Greater Washington Aquatic Plant Association. He also maintains a website dedicated to planted aquaria, Guitarfish.org, and has competed in several aquascaping competitions nationally and internationally.

Special Note: The completely aquascaped aquarium will be auctioned to the highest bidder after our raffle drawings
 
Video of the Month - March PDF Print E-mail

This month, it was hard to find a good video related to our Aquascaping demo but I think that even though it is 2.5 years old, A tribute video to Aquatic Gardeners Association, International Aquascaping Contest is really great so sit back and see the great planted tanks, accompanied by some great music and then, come out to That Fish Place on the 20th and listen to our speaker!

If you were at the January meeting you were aware that we took up a collection for the Hobbyists Aqua Lab Conservation Project (HALCP) in honor of Ivan Dibble, who passed away on Christmas.  I forwarded a check to Bob Cashin and received this email from Bob on January 27th:

 

Hi Kurt,

 

 On behalf of HALCP, I want to thank you for the donation in Ivan's memory. It was very nice of your club, Aquarium Club of Lancaster County, to take up a collection … at the January meeting. One of his principles was that every penny was spent to benefit the fish. I am sure that those of us who will carry on his legacy will adhere to that policy.

                                                                American Treasurer, HALCP

 

And on February 8th from Don Kenwood, UK Treasurer HALCP:

ACLC Changes for 2010

 

NEW Meeting Day, Time & Place!

Starting with our January 16th 2010 meeting, the ACLC will be meeting on the 3rd Saturday of each month at 1:00PM at THAT FISH PLACE! The only exception will be the April meeting, which will be held on April 24th due to the Anniversary Sale at That Fish Place being held on the previous weekend.  A special thanks to Chris Cornell for putting me in touch with Craig Beauchamp of That Fish Place.  Craig has been a pleasure to work with and is very excited about hosting our club meetings. He is now on our forum (User ID: CBeau) and will be posting many new and exciting items as they  come into the fishroom at That Fish Place.  The store will also be giving all ACLC members a 10% coupon that will be honored for any item on the day of our meetings.  The entire staff of That Fish Place is very enthusiastic and has gone out of their way to assist us in many ways. This has made me feel very confident that this will be a very good relationship for many years to come! 

Tank Tales goes Electronic!
