So I saw that one on the members was selling aqua journal #111, and I was wondering if I was able to get a subcription to that catalog? So my questions is, is it possible for me to get one all the way in Japan? Thanks.

For an annual subscription please write Nozomi Hayakawa at [email protected] Current rates are approx $100US per year. Available in Japanese language only.

ADA will ship them anywhere.

Make sure you speed up the process so you get the latest copy which will have AGA'04 review/pictures.

And pick up a copy of SUIKEI (single issue). That one is actually worth the money.

Also I will very soon have a link or method for subscribing to AQUA JOURNAL on the ADA product section of www.aquariumdesigngroup.com. It will be the same price, just a bit "easier" to subscribe than faxing your credit card # to Japan, though that is totally safe and delivery is very timely and reliable. We are also exploring doing (another) english version of AQUA JOURNAL. Think there's enough interest yet??

Jeff, I think to gauge the interest, you need to let us know a guestimated price per issue (or 12issue subscription etc). That being said, if it is reasonable, I'd definately be interested

What is that?
I think I'll email Nozomi in Japan. Damn thats a bit steep, but I guess worth it!
Thanks for the replies .
Hey Jeff, when do you think you'll get a confirmation of the english version AQUA JOURNAL? You know if that happened, it will be the #1 magazine amongst us aquascapers.

Its just another magazine they put out. I think it was $12 for one issue. It has 3 setups that they go through. The AGA translates some of the aquajournal articles. Add my vote to translating aquajournal though.

I would be interested in translated or untranslated if the price was a bit lower.

 

[Erirku]

Does anyone know who publishes or the company who publishes the Aqua journal and Suikei? Is it by Amano? Thanks again.

 

[Phil Edwards]

I would definately be interested in an english language AquaJournal.

 

[Sir_BlackhOle]

If it was in English I might go for a subscription as well.

They used to have an english version a couple of years ago that I picked up from Barnes & Noble, but I imagine the cost and lack of interest shut it down.

Those were the few issues (#33-#38) published by Vectrapoint in Singapore. Didn't come out very regularly and they were hard to find.

I know that these things are hard to come by. I have some extra mint condition Aqua Journals that I would be willing to sell. First come first served. Buyer pays shipping. Most are in Japanese and I have 2 in English. PM me if you are interested. I listed the volumes available in the FOR SALE/TRADE section.

Thanks,

David

ADA (Amano's company) also publishes another magazine, Do! Aqua. It's about the same dimensions as the AGA's Aquatic Gardener, but not as many pages. Do! Aqua has highlighted some things in the past such as ADA's equipment, some of the techniques for planting, a step-by-step progession contest on planted tanks between two people, etc...

HTH,
