I am new to Aquatic plants and I am wondering where everyone purchases their substrate and plants from, the local chain fish stores don't have anything!

you should add your city/state to your id, so we can see where "local" is located.

You can buy a lot of plants on APC, check the FS section.

I'm fortunate enough to have multiple LFS around me, three of which I visit frequently that I never knew were there until I went through about three phone books & Facebook. You never know what you'll find until you dig a little deeper!

PetSmart carries flourite, and FloraMax

For some reason I can't find where to add the "Location" too on the User control Panel, but I live in Baltimore, MD.

I saw that PetSmart has FloraMax but my local store doesn't carry it, they said that they used to, but no one ever purchased it so that stop carrying it. I know that I can order it online, but I wasn't sure of the quality of the product? does anyone here use it? and if so, do I mix it with something or do I just use it by it self?

I have a 55 gallon tank that I am going to use, and I am assuming I need a 2"-3" layer to give the plants a nice root bed.

to edit your location, go to your user page. (e.g. http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/f.../joshvito.html )

on the 'about me tab', you can change your home town.

If you are in baltimore, Do a google for AQUARIUM DEPOT, EXOTIC AQUATICS, PETSMART and Toms Tropicals. I would suggest Exotic Aquatics. There is one more just North of Baltimore, but cant recall the name.

Just google Baltimore Aquarium Shops

Also consider house of Tropicals.

Aquarium Depot is not to far from where I live but they are going out of Business, or least it looks like it, it is a dump on the inside now, and the shelves are empty.
