Hi all
I'm just starting out on my first planted tank venture, and this forum is providing both excellent information, and beautiful inspiration !
One thing that I am struggling with is identifying the plants I want, as in knowing the names of the plants I have seen in pics which I would like to try. Is there a list or thread anywhere of plants with nice a nice photo and its name shown ? I look at AE and TGM for their Tropica plants, but the illustrations arent that great. And when I read through peoples journals with their tank pics, with a list of what is planted, its often hard to know which plant is which.
How about a sticky thread in which folks could upload pics of specific plants with its name ? I dont think any further info is needed, as its available elsewhere, just a simple way for us newbies to know the names of plants !
For those with a bit of photoshop skill, a full tank shot, with an overlay map showing the names of each each plant in situ would be pretty cool ! I'd happily do this for folks if anyone is interested - perhaps one of the mods could send a pic and a description of what is what and we could see how it works ?
Look forward to your thoughts.
Cheers
Tony
