Guest Speaker will be George from Veba's who will be discussing AQUARIUM PLANTS.

NEW FEATURE: our general meetings will now have a Question and Answer forum. This will take place immediately after the talk so we hope all members will take this opportunity to ask any fish-keeping questions they might have.

I had not been to a meeting for a long time. Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed myself. Meeting and talking to everyone was great. I have no particular interest in Plants and have none in my tank, but full marks to George for an interesting and informative talk. I could have listened for at least twice as long. George spoke with a genuine passion and this always makes a talk worthwile.

Thanks PCS

Cheers

For those of you that did not attend last night’s PCS monthly meeting you missed a brilliant talk on plants and the planted aquarium by George from Veba’s .
It was ( in my opinion) the best & most comprehensive talk on all aspects of aquarium plants I have ever heard, and on talking to other members I was not alone in forming this opinion.
Before moving to WA and working at Veba’s, George owned and ran an LFS for 12 years in Victoria.
George’s vast experience and passion for plants and planted tanks really showed through in the 90 minute talk . I was very impressed.
George not only talked about subjects such as substrate, water quality, nutrients, filtration & lighting but he went into detail explaining the difference between the various types & brands that are available and offered advice and tips on snail & algae control.
On behalf of the PCS Committee & members, would like to thank George for a very informative & very interesting talk.
Plus…He’s not a bad bloke……..for a Victorian.

You forgot to mention the free sample of Australian Blackworms - good stuff, even if Craig did look very suspicious handing out all those little baggies!

Had a good night myself
