🌿 DIY Techniques for Aquascapes, Paludariums, and Aquatic Displays
Presented by Bilal Mohammed

Join us at our next CAPS meeting for a creative and practical presentation led by Bilal Mohammed, focused on real-world DIY techniques for building and maintaining beautiful aquatic environments.

We'll cover:

  • 🪵 Gluing methods for securing hardscape

  • 🧱 Simple structural supports to hold up complex builds

  • 🌱 Life hacks for planting and aquascaping with ease

  • 🌿 Tips for paludariums and other aquatic displays

🎥 Plus: A live paludarium build demo!
Watch a full setup come together before your eyes—and best of all...

🎟 We'll be raffling off the finished paludarium to one lucky attendee—completely free!

This is a can't miss session for anyone looking to level up their aquascaping skills with hands-on, practical insight.

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!
