I am joined by Sam "Captain Duckweed" Rutka from Easy Aquariums in Gorham, Maine.

We discuss Sam's beginnings in the hobby, this transition to aquascaping, some paludarium tips, tricks, and lessons learned, and a little bit about Maine's approved species whitelist.

Sam will be back on in a few months to go further in depth on the whitelist and provide an update on his work to add more species to be approved in Maine.
