Do you have any recommended reading for a beginning Aquarium gardener? I'm looking for a book that can give me an overview of the chemistry, biology and maintenance, plus ideally some good images of aquascaping ideas.
Diana Walstad's Ecology of the Planted Aquarium is the best and only book you will ever need for keeping a healthy planted tank. You can find everything else you'd ever want to know and pictures of aquascaping online for free.
