February 2013 Meeting

[Sherri]

Very interesting....great job with the demo also John & Ben....enjoyed.

[ramsey]

Ditto, thanks John and Ben for the demo. I can't wait to get started with my scape. Ben, your tank looks amazing and thanks for having us over.

[Scutterborn]

Thanks everyone who showed up. It turned out well considering it was my first time hosting. Thanks for all the nice things everyone said about my empty tank too! Lmbo!


-Ben-

[FireWater]

It was fun. Hope those that made it took enough away to have fun on their next build.
Ben and I will start working on a thread outlining the products we used, where to find them, a list of procedures, tips, and possibly links to ideas.

Give us a little while.

[Fracture]

And let's not forget the new word Ben came up with CHUNKLET hehe love it

[FireWater]

For those that asked the color of the mortar once dried I pulled this post from my tank build thread. The pics are before any water was added to the tank.

"I finished up the back drop. Horrible pics, but I was trying to hurry because I didn't have it mounted and was worried it would crash to the floor.

Wish I would of came back to maast before this meeting. Looks very interesting.

[ramsey]

It was great. I ended up using mortar on my latest scape and it turned out phenomenal! I would have been much harder without firewater and scutterborn teaching us the secrets of the aquascape masters!

[jrossjr79]

Did anyone video record it? I would love to know these secrets . I plan on doing that for my 145G tank. Maybe even some in this 55G I have set up now.

[FireWater]

Nope, sorry. It was not recorded. Ben and I plan to write up a DIY thread one of these days. In the meantime I'm sure either Ben or myself would be more than happy to help out.
