Also new to this forum and was really excited to see that there were others from Albuquerque! I have talked to some people at Clark's and they said that they will order specific plants and supplies for me if I want. I like to shop the LFS but just have not been happy with what is in stock. There just isn't a very big market for plants and planted aquarium supplies here.

Maybe we can change that!
Just getting started in really trying to grow and maintain a planted aquarium. I have always had live plants in my tanks over the years and have had some success but nothing like what I see others doing here. I will be getting CO2 soon and am really excited and also a little nervous.
