I love getting PMs so let me know if I can help. My main area of knowledge is in the planted tank area, with aquascaping being my forte. I am good with layouts through experience and research, but have knowledge of many plant types as well as some fertilizer experience. I lack the experience to know which plants look good with which though. Please PM me for any questions regarding the planted tank
. If I don't know the answer I will do my best research to find out for you and me
