Could somebody please provide me with a good link or two with beginner information on aquarium plants like substrate, filtration, and that sort of thing? It would be very much appreciated. [img src='/images/forums/halo.gif' border=0]

Hey sporkfish,

You could always try google as well. Read some general info sites and feel free to come back here with any questions/ comments/ ideas. There are a lot of people here who like talking about plants/ substrates/ lighting systems... you name it


Back in the saddle!

Thanks for the links. Those were really great help. Yeah, I've read through a lot of posts here, but most of the times they're either not really what I'm looking for, or people go off on a different subject.

I've seen pictures of Bensaf's aquarium before. It's so nice that it makes me sick. I'm pretty sure I'm not the first person to say that though.

Here's a link that I have used a bit.

http://www.floridadriftwood.com/introplanttank.htm

http://www.aquabotanic.com/begin.htm

And another one. The second has a nice article about low-light tanks and how to keep the plants alive!

Sporky,

Welcome to FP !

All of my initial help came from the members here when I went planted, they were and are still patient with me lol.. Although I'm in some various sites, I still find my best help here. So I recommend to hang out HERE and ask questions when you have them, there are some very knowledgable people who have the answers, and are happy to help.

I recommend www.fishprofiles.com
