CAPS MEETING - Saturday June 22nd FROM 1:00 - 3:00 PM CST
The Chicago Aquatic Plant Society’s Michelle Conrey will be giving a presentation titled "Water Chemistry For The Planted Aquarium". In this talk you’ll learn how to find and interpret your water chemistry report, set targets for your water parameters, use additives to achieve those parameters, troubleshoot CO2, and keep your plants and fish happy! Understand what is in your water, what your plants and fish want in your water, and why?
Michelle Conrey has been a planted aquarium keeper and enthusiast for more than 30 years. Her MTS (Multiple Tank Syndrome) started in her gap year before university, when she picked up a job managing the care and maintenance of 40 or so fish tanks in her local pet store. After completing an undergrad degree in plant physiology and biochemistry, Michelle instead pursued a career in business, allowing her to fully apply her love for plants and plant science to her hobbies. She is currently the proud maintenance-slave to more than half dozen planted ‘high-tech’ tanks.
This will be a hybrid meeting so anyone can attend in person or via Zoom. The meeting will be from 1-3pm CST on June 22nd at the Deerfield Public Library. 920 Waukegan Rd, Deerfield, IL 60015 or you can attend via ZOOM.
CAPS also hosts free plant trading and a giveaway raffle for all in-person attendees at the meeting (must be present to win the raffle). Bring your plant clippings to trade and get your aquatic plants or aquascaping questions answered!
