Dive Headfirst into the Lush World of Planted Aquariums! by Nguyen Le.

This presentation will provide a comprehensive guide for beginners interested in setting up their own planted aquariums. It will cover essential aspects, from selecting the right equipment to establishing and maintain a thriving ecosystem.

About the Speaker:
Nguyen Le immersed himself in the world of bettas and guppies, breeding these captivating species as a hobbyist. Selling to local customers and shipping to enthusiasts out-of-state, Nguyen covered some breeding costs, fueled by a determination to take his love for aquatics to the next level. In a bold move, he sold all his aquariums, initiating Splashy Fish as a side hustle, and marking the beginning of a remarkable journey. Later on, Nguyen felt in love with aqua scaping and planted aquarium which inspired him to learn more about the aquatic garden.

Over twenty people turned up to the April GWAPA meeting. Before the presentation began, the president talked about having possible group buys for wood and plants. GWAPA also is offering a liquid fertilizer mix to members now.

Our own Alex Wenchel will be sharing how to break down and rescape an aquascape while keeping the plants, animals, and filtration stable. He will be sharing the process of rescaping his 150 gallon aquascape. With a tank of this size, the multi-day rescaping process is filled with potential pitfalls and strategic decisions. Please join us on Zoom.
