Biotope 2011

[mscichlid]

I'd like to get our fabulous newsletter up and running again. First, I will whittle it down to 4 pages to start. If we get participation, the page numbers will increase.

The Biotope will be sent out electronically for your vewing pleasure.

I need 3 articles on anything you want to write about that is Cichlid, and Cichlid related.

Help out please. We are the only club in the world without a newsletter.

I know it probably has been done before, but what about a "How-to" for photography of tanks/fish?
I could do that

I'll do one on re-entering the hobby after a 15 year hiatus...

...of course that's mostly just an excuse for lyric, compelling and gently irreverent prose. How many words do I get?

Unlimited words. However, if it's really long like or 1500, it will be continued in the next issue.

 

[mscichlid]

You guys typing?

Remember, if you write an article for any fish you spawned for BAP you get more BAP points as well.

I'll do one one... not sure on what yet. Probably about the process of going from 3 tanks to 30 in a year.

When do you need them by?

 

[dogofwar]

How about one on re-designing a fishroom...

CALEB WILL WRITE A ARTICLE ON HOW TO KEEP OVER 20+ TANKS IN A 3RD FLOOR APARTMENT AND MIKE AND I WILL TAKE PHOTOS

I am in a 40 year old building on the fourth floor and am DYING to put in more tanks. We have had electrical issues and concerns about larger tanks ending up on the first floor. But I would love to hear how someone keeps 20 plus tanks up and running in an upper level apartment. While the article would no doubt be humorous (and perhaps the idea of the posting was a joke) I would love to hear about electrical usage, monthly electric bills, water draining issues, tank smell issues, structural issues of the building itself. Some of the more serious concerns of apartment dwelling fish keepers would be very interesting reading to me.
