UKAPS Meet Aquarium Gardens March 26

[Courtneybst]

Dave mentioned he'd be happy to host an annual UKAPS event.
We could arrange another get together at AG for a similar date next year.
Maybe Sunday 24 March 2024. So pencil the date in your diary now

In the diary! 😁

Was a great day, looking forward to the next one 🙌🏻

 

[George Farmer]

Thanks for organising such a lovely event @Tim Harrison @LondonDragon and @Aquarium Gardens - great vibes 🙏

Didn't get a chance to talk to everyone but it was great! Thanks for organsing UKAPS team and thanks for hosting Dave!

 

[LondonDragon]

The whole day went by in a flash, chatted to some more than others, but I think I managed to speak to everyone a little also a few had left by the time we got around to taking the group photo at the end of the day

 

[LondonDragon]

Just got around to transfer these to the PC, didn't really take many photos on the day (too busy chatting and feeding people haha), little distracted, hopefully some other can post some more photos, @Sid.scapes had a camera!

This was my favourite tank, the 1500, photos don't really do it justice you really must visit to see this one:

Wish I had that in my living room!!
There is a full step video here:

This one to the right of it had so much details with the smaller leaf plants and colours, looked like it was recently trimmed:

The 1200 was a great example if you want to have an easier life maintenance wise and still have a stunning tank

This one is more up my street

Well worth the trip, shame it took me this long for a first visit, and must visit AG more often, great store, great staff, amazing plant selection and hardscape

Cheers
Paulo

All 5 entries were fantastic and looked even better in real life I must say.

Compulsory entry from everyone next year 😂 to be honest I think everyone was enjoying each others company so much we didn’t leave enough time for the hardscaping!

Once again thanks to everyone for making the event such as success and all round great day 🤗
