The January 28th meeting of the Greater Washington Aquatic Plants Association will feature Viktor Gyorffy presenting Planted Tanks for Beginners, covering the basics on how to successfully set up and maintain a planted aquarium. Viktor Gyorffy has been keeping planted tanks since he was five years old. He started with gravel for substrate, either sponge filters for filtration or no filtration at all, no fertilizing of any type and very few water changes, and only a few types of easy to grow plants that did well for him. By now, he uses mostly mineralized topsoil substrate, has various types of filtration, adds root tabs and CO2 to his tanks, and keeps a large variety of plants. Meeting will be in Falls Church, Virginia. Please check our website for more information. https://gwapa.org/wordpress/. Arlene
