Eheim Professionel 3

I have an Eheim Professionel 3 (probably 350) that is not doing well, so I am giving it away for parts. I am only keeping the bio media. Pick-up can be in Gaithersburg/Damascus, maybe in Germantown, or probably at the fall auction.

September 2026 Meeting

I just wanted to say what a great September meeting that was. The speaker, Lowell of Lowell’s Fish Lab, was one of the best I’ve heard over the years. He was very informative, while having a good sense of humor and keeping his presentation very well organized and crisply paced.


The auction was great, too. What a great selection of plants from Florida Aquatic! Thanks to the runners, auctioneers, and treasurer for keeping everything moving quickly, despite the huge number of items.


Finally, thanks to all the officers and directors and other volunteers for running the meeting so well.

Here is a picture of the parents. It does not do them justice---the fish are stunning in the tank on the black sand

. Usually the adults are black with a bit of red on the fins. But when they get stressed out their bodies lighten up.
