As many of you know we are huge fans of Tropic Marin products. Lou is a big reason for that. Great guy, always willing to help and explain products and their uses. He will truly be missed.

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lou Ekus CEO of Tropic Marin USA, who passed away on September 27, 2025.

Lou led Tropic Marin USA with vision, integrity, and unwavering dedication for 28 years. Under Lous leadership, the company grew to be a household name within this industry. Lou was not only a leader but also a mentor, a friend, and a passionate advocate for marine life and sustainability. Lous knowledge and passion for this hobby was well known as he was always eager to share his knowledge to help industry experts and hobbyists alike.

Those who knew Lou will remember his warmth, curiosity, tireless commitment to excellence and the ability to explain aquarium chemistry in the simplest way possible so everyone could understand.

Even with his strength and for waning, he was still able to set the course for the future of Tropic Marin USA and transfer responsibility to younger shoulders. Lou hand-picked Brian and spent countless hours working together to ensure Tropic Marin USA would be cared for in the same way with love and respect for the industry and the brand.

Lou leaves behind a remarkable legacy, and we are committed to honoring that by continuing the mission and values he instilled in the organization.

We ask for your thoughts and prayers for his family, friends, and all who were touched by his life and work. Details about memorial services and how you can pay your respects will be shared in the coming days.

With deepest sympathy,

From Eckart, Thomas, Marcus and the whole Tropic Marin Team
