Maybe an article that ties in the ADA substrate info. with Oliver Knott's upcoming (April) visit where we will be setting up a new ADA substrate based tank that will be cool because it will combine ADA products (substrate, Lily Pipes, 8,000Kbulbs) with American products (Oceanic trimless tank, Coralife light fixture).

That sounds like a great idea. I would imagine that there are many others like myself who are very interested in seeing the trimless Oceanic tank and hearing when it will become available as part of their regular line (i.e. not a special order). Perhaps your article, if it features the use of the trimless tank, would be a great opportunity to invite Oceanic to purchase an advertisement for their trimless tanks in the same issue of TAG.

Overall, I tend to agree with Phil's indications. I am somewhat unsatisfied with TAG over the past couple of years. However, I found the latest issue, with its articles on mosses, to be great, and I think everyone on the current TAG staff deserve a big thanks for moving things in the right direction. Seeking feedback in this forum is much appreciated, Phil.

Something I don't much care for is the reiteration of the APD threads that appear regularly as a column. The information is good, but I think I am not the only one who has read the form postings long before the TAG article is published. That is something I could do without.

Things I do like are articles on new plants. The article on Elatine gussonei by Stephan Mifsud was informative.

I would really like to see some articles on experiments conducted by fellow planted tank enthusiasts. I think writings on experiments conducted in a manner that many of us could perform at home (provided we have extra tanks to devote to this) would provide great food for thought and encourage a good deal of discussion in this and other forums. I realize that it is up to people such as myself to get this started.
