Aquatic Concepts is worth the drive. They don't seem to have rare or unusual plants, but they have a good selection of fish and catch them without a net, which is nice.

Hobbists in Maine Lets get together and make a club. I'm tring to find as many people as possible to make a network. That way as hobbists we can get the really good plants, fish and corals! My plants have grown and done things I would have never expected. When people really see how easy and beautiful planted tanks could be, they will want one.

So how's that going for you? I'm going to take a stab and say that you and I are the two members of said club?:tongue:
I've thought about seeing if some of the local chain pet stores would let me set up a display tank in some of their stores in the interest of fostering some interest in nature aquarium planted tanks, get people to realize here that saltwater isn;t the only way to go for beauty in an aquarium.
Let me get MY tanks going first though before I start trying to put tanks out and about...lol

Portland here too, good to hear there are more people here that are into planted tanks...
Would be down to start a group here but I can't promise how much time I could devote to it, lol but with 2 members sounds like there wouldn't be too much time required.
Looks like there are a couple people here, I know there are a lot of aquarium people here but not a whole lot of serious ones, and then those are mostly saltwater people.
What do you have for tanks?

Portland here as well. Nice to see there are some other people into planted tanks here. I was beginning to think I was the only one. Unfortunately I am pretty new to this planted tank thing so I wont have much for plants to trade and will be more on the buying side of things for a while.

So I guess there are a few people here afterall, nothing like the amount of people they have in Cali or NY or AZ but then again...this is Maine...our biggest city has 60,000 people in it.
I don't have much by way of trimmings yet but at some point I should have some hygro stems, hornwort and some other stuff up for grabs. I just shipped a giant mass of "misc" I raok'd off to NY a couple of days ago. I'll post here first next time I guess and give the locals a shot at em first.
Any pics of everybodys tanks?
