The focus of this list is the care and propagation of aquatic plants in aquaria. The APD tends to be very technical and can be overwhelming to the casual planted-tank hobbyist. Topics include, but are not limited to, CO2 injection, lighting, substrates, micro-nutrient management and specific aquatic plants.
Occasional posts appear about the use of plants in bioremediation and in water treatment.
The active participants in this list include professionals in the field of aquatic gardening and they will not answer the same basic questions again and again when the information is readily available elsewhere. The subscribers to the APD are deeply committed to this policy. The archives of the APD are searchable and available to the public. AOL 6.0 considered harmful. Because it can ONLY send HTML and not just plaintext any mail from AOL 6.0 is filtered out.
