Wet Thumb Forum

If you haven't been over to the All Wet Thumb Community, you should check it out:

http://www.aquabotanic.com/boards/index.php

I can't remember but I think you have to register first, it's easy though (and no credit card numbers, I like that part).
It is a forum dedicated to aquarium plants and is loosely associated with Aqua Botanics. There are some real plant experts over there, including our very own Biotypical (Phil) who moderates a section on biotopes. They have a section just on algae control too and even a small section on planted discus tanks, with photos. They also focus on a single plant every month, it's chain swords now I think.

If you haven't been there yet, GO! What are you waiting for? We need more plant+Discus people there.

I'm on my way! Thanks for the tip. :D

Ralph,

Thanks for the thread! Spent some time and learned a few things, confused myself on even more! Guess I have another spot to do research and meet friends.

[Ralph]

That's funny, I know that confusion well.

They are real nice over there, they didn't even trash me for my pro-algae post and I'm sure it took restraint on their part.

[ChloroPhil]

I don't think it took any restraint..:) We talk about anything and everything regarding planted aquariums there. Heck, I've had quite a few compliments on the algae covering the wood in my old crypt tank. They're all generally nice people.

They have recently gone to a new updated format for their forum, and I think it is a new link too:

Robert, the owner, is also doing a radio show on creating a planted discus tank. He talks about this on:

That site just took care of the rest of my free time.

LOL,

That's what I said when I found *this* place. ;D
