Good online plant store?

[wbaker01]

Can anyone recommend a good online plant store? We're diving back into a planted tank soon and the last time we had a planted tank, we bought some plants online that came with an added bonus, ick! We do have a LFS but their plant selection is pretty weak.

I've read about dipping new plants in a certain mixture, is that really necessary?

Thanks,
Bill

i like http://www.aquariumplants.com/ . they have great customer service and a nice selection. ive ordered from them 4 times, 2 orders for plants and 2 orders for non-plants. the plants tht arrived all came healthy and with no snails eggs tht i could see.

just to share with u an experiance i had with them: i order some flourish excel(250 ml), but they were out of it. well when i got my order there was a 500ml bottle of excel for the same price as the 250ml. they're also very generous when it comes to plants, stickin in maybe 1 or 2 extra.

the only thing negitive i have to say( which isnt really their fault) i cant seem to grow their java moss lol. ive ordered it twice and each time it brwns on me after cple days, but tht maybe my own hangup. :cool2:

^On ebay, theres a aquarscape for a 29gal running around 30bucks.

Im thinking of getting it. Ebay has a few good deals when it comes to aquascapes.
