At our meeting, Mr. Gargas will be presenting on water treatment, chemistry, and filtration, and showing videos of his breeding systems.

That sucks, Ashley. If possible, you can always come into the meeting late. Just be quiet when you enter. We realize that people have classes and work, so it's fine to leave early or come late.

My car is re-dead (maybe I should just set it on fire?) but at some point, I will arrive! Hopefully a bit early vs late..

Nicholas and I plan on showing up early to get things ready. You know, the small things like getting MSC to let us in the room! anger

Should I laugh or scream? Wink

I should be able to be there early, I do have to scoot around 7:15 or so if we are still going over to finalize some personal things. But very excited for tonight, I hope he brings lots of discus pics!

Last night was cool! I learned a lot about good filtration.. while I didn't pick up on 100% of the chemistry, I do feel confident in trying some new things in tanks down the line when I have more room Smile

Thanks Mr Gargas!
