This is by far the most helpful information I have come across. I have had tanks since I was 16 and took the plunge and now have a 45 gallon planted tank. I am still trying to figure out the whole CO2 issue with the type of lighting that I have (compact fluorescent 96watt which sits about an inch or so from the glass top. What do you think about the whole yeast and sugar type of CO2 being pushed into the tank via the Red Sea turbo system?

I am in the planning stage of setting up my first plant tank using a 65gallon tank. All I have is the tank but besides the internet the only resource I have is the "Encyclopedia of Aquarium Plants" by Peter Hiscock. Are there any book out there that go into greater depth on the different types of aquatic plants that contain:descripitions, pictures, and parameters?

We have a great resource here at apc, the plantfinder. Bookwise, I would recomment Kasselman's book.

Bert are they going to put Kasselman's book into English? I was at the AGA convention and Claus had it in Dutch. It looked amazing. I hope that they get it in English I am very interested in getting it.

I don't have any info on that. I would suggest writing the publisher and asking them. If they think they have enough of a market out there, that they would put out an English version.
