Ching Wed, 10 Feb 2010 11:55:57 +0000 http://aquarium-fishtalk.com/planted-aquariums-creation-and-maintenance/#comment-15834 I had high expectation for this book after reading many favorable reviews. This book is fine but somewhat less than expected. I was unable to find answers to many specific questions such as a general guide line on CO2 dosages, how to control snail, how to deal with tannic acid leached from drift woods, fertilization techniques. There is a helpful chart of all types of plants and it's care requirement. Unfortunately, many of the plants in the list does not have a picture in the book.

The author basically refers to the facts on Dutch aquascaping and also highlights the wrong practises and recognitions in world-wide aquascaping. The reader might benefit even further when he/she reads this book by referring to the reference book called "Aquarium Plants" written by the same Author, especially while having hands-on experience.
