## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beginners first stop.
*by D***R on January 24, 2025*

It would be great to have this book updated, particularly lighting and CO2 systems. That said, this is probably the best of the introductions to planted aquariums. A bit light on low tech tank maintenance, it is still a very well organized and accessable book for beginners with planted tanks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very thorough, very many pictures, information for neophytes to experts
*by J***N on March 18, 2021*

I have kept a aquarium since about age 12. I always wanted fish AND live plants. I used grow lights, "flourotabs" I believe. Some form of liquid iron. I managed to get a few sword type plants to survive. A pet store employee told me once that you cannot keep fish and live plants, "it just can't be done".The tanks in this book are LUSH. I read one review complaining about a CO2 generator. There are simple designs to build your own using yeast. It is counterintuitive to me to add CO2 to a tank with fish in it - it seems that they should live in equilibrium - but I believe this is the one most important thing I learned from this book.VERY thorough from where the plants originate, types of water needed, amount of light needed, sooooo many beautiful pictures. Updated as far as LED lights, so must have been written fairly recently.I won't use everything in this book, but I know that it has expanded my knowledge exponentially of how to keep a planted aquarium living and I am very excited about putting what I learned to use.Definitely buy this book if you want to grow live plants in your aquarium and can't. As the title suggests, the book focuses on plants in the aquarium, but is also addresses fish and their interaction with the plants and each other, etc.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful photography! Lots of info! Highly recommend!
*by U***C on November 8, 2023*

I own quite a few books on aquariums and live plants and like to refer to them often. This is a new one, a beautiful one with lots of color photos and information, Highly recommend it for its contents.
