Okay peeps, here is the big project I was working on. Most of you on this forum have already read this but check it out anyways. I formated Frank Xavier's post to make an eBooK (with his permission of course). I think this is a great read for beginners as well as advanced hobbyists.

“Mixed Carpet How to Guide” by Frank Wazeter

Enjoy and as always, comments and suggestions welcomed.

p.s. Link not allowing me to download PDF to my phone for some reason, so I will be working on that ASAP.

awesome idea. that whole thread is an excellent read for people into planted tanks in general, not just nano tanks.

I just skimmed through it and it seems to be summarized well with the most pertinent information (there's lots of it) without all the unnecessary banter going back and forth on ADA products vs. no ADA and other stuff.

My only real criticism is that it wasn't done a few weeks ago (I spent like 5 days over the past 2 weeks reading that whole thread!). Hehe, j/k.

Now since the original thread is an ongoing work, I'm wondering if you've discussed with Frank just how much longer it will be (granted this layout no longer exists, so in a sense you've captured the whole process from beginning to end.). The reason I ask is that it would be important to encourage readers of this e-book to also visit the continuation of the story by visiting the thread, or waiting for another compendium organized by yourself. Maybe indicate that the e-book ends around page # ____ in the thread?

Anyways, good work again. I liked that you put the "principles" right next to each other and that you organized the book into days. It's still a long read, but I'll be going through the information again for sure.

Thanks!

No doubt about it, definitely a must read for planted tank fans in general.

Thanks for the input. Your suggestion sounds like something I can add to the post description so it will be done asap. It is a long ebook but a lot of it is filled with awesome photos and of course, a lot shorter than the original thread. I don't think he has posted his "Final Photo" in the thread so be sure to check out the last page of the ebook..... beautiful picture.

I want to come out with other similiar, informative ebooks. If anyone is interested, PM me and I'll turn a thread into an eBook for easier reading. I'm in the proccess of asking permission from other gurus on this forum and other resources as well.

P.S. Anyone having trouble downloading the PDF file to your phone? Cause I am. Got a samsung epic using dolphin browser. Let me know if you have a solution.
