The Chicago Aquatic Plant Society is pleased to have our very own Marvin Lo speak, he will give a presentation titled "Start to Finish, a Competitive Aquascape". He will cover the initial planning of the layout, growing out the aquascape, and finally taking the photo. This will be a hybrid meeting so anyone can attend in person or via Zoom.

Marvin has been keeping plants and aquariums since he was young and combined those two interests in the early 2000s by getting into aquarium plant keeping. He competed in his first live aquascaping competition at Aquatic Experience in 2016. Since then he has competed in multiple live and online competitions, including IAPLC and the AGA aquascaping contest. See Marvin’s Instagram for some of his work.

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!
