Many tanks to Aquarium Design Group (ADG) for hosting the joint meeting of the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFWAPC) and the Houston (NASH) clubs!

We put the effort to bring new people to this trip. People that had never seen how a planted tank is set up. We all agreed that the visit to ADG, the planted tank set-up demonstration, the people we met, and the event as a whole could not be better!

Among everybody involved in the event special thanks to Jeff Senske (ADG) for being extremely thorough and helpful with our many questions! He spend more than 4 hours responding to us while taking us through every step of the process of setting up an aquascape.

There were numerous people involved in the preparation of the event and it went very smoothly. If your local club is planning a similar event and you have to travel don't even doubt that you will get your money's worth and much much more! The ADG showroom, the people that run it, the Houston club members, the food, the abundant free plants both from ADG and NASH, the interaction - all made us literally dizzy with excitement.

Take a look for yourself:

The pictures that you see are only part of all the pictures that we took. There will be more later.

:hihi: Jim M.

Actually the dirty Lilly pipe was not at ADG. They would never have anything dirty or unsightly in their showroom since that is not the average pet fish store.

The dirty Lilly pipe was in a neglected tank in the garage of Luis Navarro. Yes, there is someone in the US that has ADA equipment in a neglected garage tank :hihi: I took a picture of it because I wanted to show the way the water flows in the "bell" of the pipe.

Cleaning these glass pipes is a task that has to be done carefully. The brush has to have very soft wire handle that bends easily. At Amano's showroomo in Niigata there was a guy that just went to each tank, removed the pipes and replaced them with new clean ones. It is pissible that instead of scrubbing them with a brush they soak them in a cleaning solution (reducing the risk of breaking them).
