CAPS HYBRID MEETING - SUN Oct 16th FROM 1:00 - 3:00 PM CST

Join us on ZOOM

The Chicago Aquatic Plant Society’s Bailin Shaw will give a presentation titled "Algae And Strategies For Control". The presentation will explore the different types of algae found in our tanks, what are the root causes for those types of algae, and strategies on how to mitigate and clear your tank of the problem. The presentation will also hit on how nutrients, lighting, maintenance, and other factors can lead to algae.

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!

If you are a paid member and interested in borrowing a book or the PAR meter from our CAPS library please contact Beth Lang at librarian@chicagoaquaticplants.com. You can pick it up at our next meeting or we can make other arrangements.
