As we reflect on the unforgettable Aquascaping class that recently graced our community, hearts are full and tanks are thriving, all thanks to the collective effort of some incredible people and brands. It's time to roll out the virtual red carpet and shower our gratitude:

Chicago Aquatic Plant Society, your knowledge and passion for aquatic plants have not only enriched our tanks but our minds too. Thank you for being the guiding light in our aquascaping journey.

Seachem Laboratories, Inc, your generosity in providing top-tier products ensured that our creations started on the right foot, or should we say, root? Your support is the backbone of lush, thriving aquascapes.

To the maestros of the event, Sue Lines and Luis Navarro Seachem, your expertise and artistic vision have inspired us to push boundaries and create underwater masterpieces. Your teachings will resonate in every tank we craft.

A thunderous applause to SR Aquaristik for the sleek aquariums, stands, lighting, and CO2 systems that set the stage for our aquascapes to shine. Your equipment is truly the stuff of an aquarist's dreams.

OASE North America, your filtration systems were the unsung heroes, ensuring that our creations remained pristine and healthy. Your commitment to quality is evident in every bubble and flow.

And to every single attendee, your enthusiasm and eagerness to learn were the true highlights of this event. Your participation turned this class into a memorable gathering of like-minded souls.

A special cinematic shoutout to Damian Dabrowski - your talent behind the lens captured the essence of our Aquascaping adventure, allowing us to relive these moments forever.

Together, we've woven a tapestry of creativity, learning, and community. This event was a testament to what we can achieve when we come together, and it's only the beginning.

Here's to the landscapes we've crafted and the ones yet to take shape. Until our paths cross again in the world of aquascaping, keep those tanks thriving and your spirits high!

🌿🌱 Calling All Plant Enthusiasts! 🌱🌿
Did you know that Zooxae is your go-to destination for a fantastic selection of air plants? 🌿✨ Whether you're an experienced collector or just starting out, we've got something for everyone!
Air plants, also known as Tillandsia, are unique and fascinating plants that don't require any soil in order to grow. They get their nutrients and moisture from the air, making them a low-maintenance and versatile addition to any plant collection. 🌬️💦
Here are some tips to help you care for your air plants:
Light: Place your air plants in a bright location, but avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch their delicate leaves. A spot near a window with filtered light is ideal.
Watering: Mist your air plants with water every few days or soak them in room temperature water for about 10-15 minutes once a week. Shake off excess water afterward to prevent rot.
Air Circulation: Air plants thrive in good airflow. Make sure they have enough ventilation by placing them in an area with gentle movement or using a fan set on low speed.
Temperature: Air plants prefer temperatures between 50-90°F (10-32°C). Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations to keep them healthy and happy.
With Zooxae's wide range of air plants, you can easily find the perfect addition to your indoor garden or terrarium🌿🏞️
