Planted tank info
Can anyone tell me where is the best place to get info on planted tanks. The pond fish just went outside
 and I now have an empty 50 gal.Can't let it sit too long empty as that just seems like a waste of space.

I will probably be keeping the 50 gal empty for the pond fish to come back to in the fall but will turn the 20 gal into a planted tank. I was looking for info on filtration, lighting and substrates.

Any idea what kind of fish i have 45 gal planted barb community and a 25 gal newt tank both are planted. i used a spectra stone brand rock in both as the pebbles are a little bigger and i think they have the best colors. i have one earthtone and one using pastel colors. i use a hob filter on both although i have swithced to sponge filter in the newt tank as they dont like too much flow. i reccoment the aquaclear hob type. they work great and are very easy to clean and change media. i also use the original hood with a aqua glow bulb. i get pretty good grwth and alll stock seems to like it.
i gotta run but if you would like me to take pics of substrate and such let me know and i will post some by dinner. you can see some of my old fics under the link in my signature.

if you want "the elite of the elite" then check out http://www.barrreport.com/. The site's dedicated to the estimative index methodology. A little difficult to comprehend at first but once it's understood it's very easy to follow and produces CRAZY plant growth. My 120g's plant growth doubled in volume every 1-2 weeks.
Tom Barr is some sort of Randy Holmes or Julian Sprung for the planted tank hobby.
