August 2009 Atta Boy BRAD!!! . . . there goes the VORTEX FILTER.  What a wonderful gift from the Vortex Company for Joe Gargas to come and talk to us. The filter is presented here to Brad, the winner of the DRAWING by President Hank Darin. The program for the night was a wonderful discussion of filtration and the advancements and new filtration systems.  It was a great discussion lead by Hank Darin and what made it so good was that everyone was listening and willing to learn rather than argue.  Filtration is one of those ‘things’ in aquarium keeping that everyone has there own special thoughts . . . and this was a great talk by everyone!!!
