Introduction to Aquatic plant identification

Greetings SFAS Aquarists,
For the Month of November, We are having Luke Wang presenting on Introduction to Aquatic Plant Identification.

About the Speaker:
Luke Wang is the current president and speaker coordinator for the Sacramento Aquarium Society and
the owner of Vast Aquascaping, a steadily growing aquascaping and maintenance business.
Growing up in Sacramento, Luke was adjacent to a typical family 10 gallon of convict cichlids. As is
common, he understood nothing about it, and was uninterested in aquariums during his adolescence. He
later studied art at California College of the Arts, initially pursuing fashion design before graduating with a
degree in jewelry/metal arts. His final art showcase involved aquariums, scaped as loose biotopes
representing global conflict regions, finally drawing him into the hobby and sparking a passion for
aquariums that has driven him ever since.
Luke worked at Albany Aquarium in the Bay Area, which was especially known for its impressive plant
selection. During this time, he gained invaluable hands-on experience— changing incalculable gallons of
water and medicating thousands of fish. This level of experience was far beyond what a hobbyist at his
age could gain. This expertise in the aquarium industry was the reason he soon began offering tank
servicing and eventually founded Vast Aquascaping.
After moving back to Sacramento he continues to travel to the Bay Area several times a month to service
his clients and attend monthly meetings of other Aquarium Societies in his role as Speaker Coordinator.
This gives him the opportunity to network with prominent figures in the aquarium world, allowing him to
exchange ideas with other people who share his obsession.
