Yes, you have to subscribe, sorry! If you want to think of this as a plug, then I apologize, but he is one of you guys! It has new articles every month by plant experts and hobbyists. Upcoming articles include work by Diana Walstad who wrote Ecology of the Planted Aquarium, Roger Miller, Steve Hampton, James Hoftiezer who was the grand prize winner of the AGA aquascaping contest last year, and more. Next issue comes out next week.
Somehow, I doubt Travis is the only experienced aquarium plant person in this forum. This forum has an open invitation from me to contribute any articles relating to aquarium plants, or a personal story of your planted tank. If you want to represent Aquarium Advice you can submit any material to me! The Administrator of this forum, (fishfreak I think his name his?) has an open invitation from me to engage any sort of mutual promotion that would benefit this forum and the 3400 members of my forum. Thanks again Travis.
