About twenty people showed up to the February GWAPA meeting in Gaithersburg. Corey, the president, gave a talk on floating plants. She discussed the good things and also some drawbacks of keeping these plants and then detailed the various species. A raffle with Oase donations followed the presentation. Then we had our regular auction of plants and fish. Some of the fish were donated by Splashy Fish, an aquarium store in Springfield, Virginia.

This presentation by Nguyen Le provided a comprehensive guide for beginners interested in setting up their own planted aquariums. It covered essential aspects, from selecting the right equipment to establishing and maintaining a thriving ecosystem.
