Kris is sooo subtle!

I can only dream that more folks like you, Robert, write a lengthy article within a week after the meeting. (subtle brown nosing for more articles... )

Err, I'll be up till midnight getting light fixtures set in a rolling bar so the can be moved, and plumbing this bugger. Figured out a neat way to be able to slide the lights, using the hardware from a pocket door and cutting the rails to length.

Anyone who wants to come and take pics of me alternating between laying in front of the stand and cursing as I try and fit it all together and standing in front of the tank cursing as I try and put it together, is welcome to.

These are the plants that I am planning on bringing to the auction this Saturday.

Ludwigia repens
Vallisneria americana
Vallisneria spiralis
Potamogeton gayi
Cryptocoryne pontederiifolia
Limnophila aquatica (a.k.a. Ambulia)
Glossostigma elatinoides
Shinnersia rivularis (a.k.a. Mexican oak leaf)

All of these plants are breathtaking, fantastic in every sense of the word, and extremely rare, so bring a lot of cash and bid often when these invaluable wonders come up at the auction.

If you know what you are bringing, would you post the species so that we can find information on them before Saturday?

My list will likely fluctuate by Saturday based on availability of time/good looking and algae free stems, but here's a good bet:

Utricularia graminfolia
Micranthemum umbrosum
Ludwigia arculata x repens
Pogostemon stellata
Blyxa japonica
Eriocaulonaceae sp. 'Type 2'
Rotala macrandra
Rotala macrandra var. 'Green'
Didiplis diandra
Ranalisma rostrata

I'm not sure if I'll have much.

Probably some needle leaf java fern, doubt we'll use it all inside the 180 - but then, it is slightly bigger than I've ever set up before, hehe.

If I get time to rake out the nano, will have some HC and some Lobelia.

I will have some corymbosa 'stricta', that, umm, is slightly and unintentionally emersed.

Dang weed, 6" out of the water in under 2 weeks.

Still looking for someone to help pick up the member of CCA in Catonsville to come to our January meeting. If you are coming from there or traveling through there to get to Dave's and have room for one person please let me know so I can get you in touch with her.

Thanks
Rob

I'll have the following:

Anubias barteri 'nana'
Crypt. balansae
Crypt. pontederiifolia
Rotala rotundifolia (indica)
Cabomba carolinia
Riccia fluitans
Hygrophila sp. 'Sarawak'
Bolbitis heudelottii
Java moss
Cherry shrimp
Dalmation mollies

I ripped a whole Bolbitis out of my 29 gal. endlers tank this morning so I've got 2 pretty sizable plants. So as Viktor said "bring lots of cash".

Cheers.
Jim

Ltrepeter2000........I am in Catonsville, and she can ride with me, but I have an appointment with the Direct TV between 8 am and noon. So I am expecting to be able to get to Dave's by 1. 2 PM at the latest.
