CAPS HYBRID MEETING - SUN Aug 14th FROM 1:00 - 3:00 PM CST
The Chicago Aquatic Plant Society is pleased to host guest speaker Michelle Conrey, who will give 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 Aug 14th at the Schaumburg Township District Library. 130 S Roselle Rd, Schaumburg, IL 60193 or you can attend via ZOOM.
