Jane will be speaking about Low-Tech Planted Tanks, specifically the methods set forth by Diana Walstad, author of Ecology of the Planted Aquarium: A Practical Manual and Scientific Treatise for the Home Aquarist. Come learn the differences between high-tech and low-tech tanks, and the key elements of the research science behind the "el natural" perspective that challenges many aquarium-keeping "rules". You just might be persuaded to explore this low-tech, low-cost and low-maintenance method of keeping healthy planted tanks.
After the talk, we"ll do a hands-on demonstration of a low-tech planted setup, and the resulting tank will be raffled off!
