Plantman Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Calling all aquatic planters, i recently got to know about ordering may be 20 or 30 copies of this book. for more information, check up this website: http://www.tropica.com/default.asp type "The Aquarium Plant Handbook" in the advance serch and enter. cost per book, including shipping to AUckland is $45.00 this book describes 400+ species of aquarium plants. i have a copy myself and i find it useful as it uses photography picture rather than drawing to identify the plant species. easy reference and pratically a dictionary for most of the popular plants among the Planted tank hobbist. if the number of order is there, i can ship then over to me adn then to you. depending on your location, shipping to you will be an added cost. if only a few people are interested, the cost will be higher. for $45, i will need only 20 orders. this is a book worth investing as it gives many tips on various issues for aquatic plant. if you are interested or want to order for your friends, please reply this tread, PM me or email to me so that i can have a count of number of people interested. you do not have to pay me until the books arrive. waiting for your reply.

suphew Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Shouldn't this be in the commercial trade and exchange area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantman Posted February 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Shouldn't this be in the commercial trade and exchange area? Hi All i am not sure whether i am in the right area but this is the area where Planted tank hobbist meet. This books focus only on aquatic plants. i have not order any books yet. i would like to know the number of people interested before i place an order with the overseas supplier. it has clear a lot of my questions about aquatic plants and i am sure it will help many in NZ. i have being to most LFS before and non has this book at all. i may need to ask for payment once i place the order. if you want me to show some pictures of my book, please let me know. Spread the word around. so that i can keep track of the number of people placing order for this book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantman Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Hi All thank you for your interest, all 5 copies were sold or reserved. the selling price was $55 per copy due to lower quantity ordered from the supplier. even at $55, it is still cheaper in other country like CANADA. http://www.ottawaaquatics.com/item1475.htm thank you.

Rob Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Well, my copy of this book arrived a couple of days ago now and I'm very happy with it. Beautifully presented, with each species having its own colour photo. Each plant has info (in the form of symbols) about the prefered conditions and difficulty also most entries have a written description giving extra info. It's nice to have a book that is so comprehensive in the species it covers. Now if only I can find some of these plants in the shops.
