Customers Say:

"Hi Folks,
I have found your web site very helpful to see what went wrong in my tank. I will be honest here, I had a very bad year with a lot going on. So much so that I had lost interest in the tanks. Now that thinks have calmed down I would like to get my tanks back in shape. I am at present working on getting my 75 gallon tank cleaned up and getting CO2 equipment, replacing lamps and so on. I will be in touch to get plants, fertilizer, and aqua design layouts from you. Please send me your basic plan care information for now, thank you.
By the way it was a friend of mine that advised me of your site and he just redone his tank with you. It looks great!!!"

"Don,
I am so pleased with your business that I have decided to plant my 10 gallon aquarium. It has an 18 inch, 15 watt, full spectrum fluorescent light bulb. The aquarium dimensions are 20”L X 10”W & is 12” high. Effectively the same conditions as my 38 & 20 gallon tanks, low light, etc. Please include some of those reddish colored hornwort looking plants.
Thank you,"

It is PLANTED!!!!!!!!!!!! Took awhile put it is done…… When the Flourite clouds have gone away, I will take a picture and send it to you… I am planning on taking a picture every morning for a year, and make a video out of it, just for the fun of it. It has been a pure pleasure working with you on this.

Customers Say:

"Linda and Don,
The plants arrived today just as scheduled and look simply wonderful! I love the way each was packed separately, with its own specific instructions. Foolproof, even for a novice like me. A friend is coming over in a couple of hours to assist with the planting and I can’t wait to see them in the tank. Don, your wealth of knowledge was invaluable in the process. Thank you so much for your time and attention in addressing all my specifics, as well as working with me to achieve the perfect delivery schedule. Linda, the communication has been superb! From initial inquiry, through the fact-gathering process, to receipt of the plants, this has been an excellent experience. Please feel free to quote me or use me as a reference in any way, including providing my email to any potential customers who might want a first-hand recommendation.
Again – thank you both so much!"

Customers Say:

"Don,
Just wanted to send you a thank you on my recent order. I received my 55-gallon plant package last week, and the plants are absolutely beautiful, every one of them in perfect condition. I've tried other suppliers in the past, but after getting bags full of wilted, slimy foliage in one instance, and ending up with a tank full of snails that took months to eradicate in another, I will always order from Aquatic Scapes in the future. The selection you provided is far superior to anything I could have put together myself. The Hydrotriche hottoniiflora has already almost reached the top of the tank, and even the dwarf lilies are sprouting at a quick pace.
My aquarium is now drawing all kinds of compliments, and the fish love it too. "

"Don,
The plants ordered from you arrived in great shape. The layout you designed is looking beautiful already. I’m sure you hear it often but the plants really transformed my aquarium into the most eye catching and attention grabbing part of my office. Thanks for the great advice and the informative articles on your website. I’m going with an Estimated Index fertilization method and that seems to be working very well.
You have been great to work with and I appreciate the help very much!"

got the shipment yesterday. I was scheduled to work at an off-site location 30+ miles from here yesterday. Fortunately, the plants arrived well and happy before my departure. Thank you both for all you have done to make my experience withy Aquatic Scapes special. All the 'extras' really did make my experience special with your company.
Thank you for your sacrifices. I look forward to doing business with you again."

"Hi Donald,
I received my live plant order yesterday. I've purchased many live plants from many different suppliers over the years and your plants are the best quality I have ever received. I am also extremely pleased with how you handled my order given the recent hot weather.
Thank you for your great service and your quality plants."

Customers Say:

"Don,
I wanted you to know how impressed I was with the quality of the plants you sent me. The shipment arrived this afternoon and I spent the rest of the day planting. I didn't have a plan or really a clue, but I'm very happy with how it turned out (and this is just the beginning). Hopefully most will be happy in my tank. Would you recommend fertilizing immediately or waiting a while before beginning? Same question with the liquid CO2. I've attached a picture of my handiwork.
Thanks again,"

The plants arrived in superb condition. They are clean, healthy and look very beautiful. Thanks for spending the time to label each plant, along with their suggested placement and the planting instructions. This was definitely a great help and saved me a lot of time. In addition, thank you so much for including the Anubias Barteri and the Anubias Coffeefolia and especially the extra plants. And I also appreciate your personalized service in providing me the guidance to properly set up for a planted tank.

Got my plants today and it was well worth the wait! Beautiful plants and more than I could put in my 55 gallon! Thank goodness I have another tank. Your plants are the best I've ever seen and I am glad I found your site and ordered from you. Pictures I attached do not do them justice. Thanks for the great communication.

Thanks,"

"Thank you for the huge bunch of Rotala! Everything arrived looking great! The Wisteria is already starting to send roots down from its leaf nodes! The Anubias was beautiful. The Rotala looked colorful and healthy! :) I was able to use the rubberbands from the packaging to sink the Anubias with some small stones, which worked out well, because I didn't have any rubberbands lol. I'll be ordering more things for my aquarium in the future and I'm look forward to it.
Thank you again!"

"Hi Don,
Just wanted to tell you how happy we are with the plants!! They look great and seem very happy in their new environment! I just have a quick question regarding topping off evaporated water...
Is there anyway I can modify the dosing of MGS04 that will allow me to top off with tap water? It would be so much more convenient if I could.
Thanks again,"

Customers Say:

Linda, Hello!
I received the plants today. I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with them! They're more than worth the wait. I've gotten plants in the past from local pet stores and they didn't look this nice when I bought them.
And I know they cost more money than I spent for yours. I decided if I was going to grow live plants again, I needed to find a place that sold healthy ones.
When your website says "you'll be pleased with your plants," it doesn't lie. I have a feeling I'll be back."

Thanks, Mary

Customers Say:

Don/Linda,
Thanks very much for the additional plants. I am really happy in the way the aquarium is turning out. Many of the plants from the first shipment have doubled in size already.
The education you have passed on to me has made a big difference in the success of having a planted aquarium.
Thanks again for everything!"

Don,
Want to thank you for the effort you put forth in the aquarium plants you sell. My 180 is going like crazy, the plants are going berserk! Pruning is done with a chain saw.
I’m including a photo of myself holding one of your pennywort plants that worked its way to the surface and hasn’t stopped growing yet. That’s a yardstick in my hand with the plant, and it measured 44” in length."

Customers Say:

"Thank you,
Really great plants. The quality is amazing and the specimen size that I received was very large making it completely justifiable to pay for shipping versus buying lower quality at a local aquarium shop.
No dirty limp plants....no little stubby specimens.....no dead leaves.....I took the time to rinse each one off but in reality they were ready to place right into the tank without any prep time. I know for a fact that I couldn't receive such a quality product locally plus you guys through in a free plant!!!
When I was concerned about whether or not my order was delayed in shipping I sent an email. To my surprise, instead of receiving a reply via email you guys actually picked up the phone and called me.....That's simply great customer service!!!
Thanks again."

Customers Say:

"Thank you for working with me on the timing of the shipment since I had a family crisis and had to delay my order. Thank you especially for the free plant (it being different from my chosen plants but a great addition). I appreciate the carefully wrapped and labeled plants with plenty of water and cushioning to support them. Every plant was unbelievably perfect (beautiful color, condition, and size) - a thousand times better looking than any local aquarium shop or chain store. It is very obvious that the plants have had meticulous nurturing care as they were growing. My 5.5 gallon tank is full of beautiful lush plants. My Betta is ecstatic, alternating between resting on leaves (nap time) and swimming through them to explore all the new scenery. My husband (who has been very indifferent to my new hobby) even raves on the spectacular beauty and tranquility of the underwater greenery against the black gravel. Maybe my next tank may happen sooner than I think....
Thanks again for all of the fine detail you handle on your end that make opening the package a complete joy. "

"Hello Linda and Donald,
Thank you so much! My plants arrived and I have to say that these are the most beautiful aquarium plants that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing! It’s my honor to have them in my tank and I will work so hard to keep them healthy (may have to order extra lighting). I can’t tell you how breathtaking the red lugwigia is in my tank. It perked up immediately and I’ve never seen anything like it. My fish are also in heaven and they can’t stop exploring. I really hope the banana plant will bloom and float bananas again because it provided my 5 inch alpha male cichlid hours of entertainment. I was waiting for him to reach up and grab a banana to snack on! Will it bloom again do you think? Again thank you so much for the time and care you took to provide me with such wonderful plants. We love them!
Thank you, "

I appreciate your help so much and the second order being shipped to me. I will definitely recommend your company to my friends and family in the future.
I also attached a picture of each of my aquariums. Both include your plants so you can see that they found a happy home! :)

"Hi Don
As I promised during our conversation last Thursday, I am enclosing some photos of my recently planted 36 gallon tank. I again would like to thank you for all of the help and advice you have provided me and I hope I haven't been a pain in calling you too often. The Baby Breath you sent to me in the last shipment is doing great and is very attractive in the forefront of my tank. From my records, it appears that I planted this tank on 5/31/11 so it has been almost 7 weeks. Everything is doing very well without any problems. My only problem at the moment (in this tank) is the question of what do I do with all of the new plants as these multiply. Suggestions and/or constructive criticism is welcomed.!"

"Hi Don and Linda,
Thanks again for the awesome plants. They came in very nice and are growing beautifully. The Pogostemon Helferi didn't start out so well as the angelfish became obsessed with it, but it hung in there and is coming back nicely. I guess the novelty wore off. I'm including a picture for you to see.
Thanks for everything"

"Dear Don,
Holy cow! What an amazing assortment of beautiful plants!!! Spent most of the night putting them in the tank. I know I did not do them justice and I hope some of them actually survive me, but you guys did an incredible job! I could not be happier. Thanks again for the personal attention, the amount of time taken to select the plants, and the excellent quality of the plants and the shipping!
Wow! Thank you! "

"Don.
Just wanted to say how pleased I am with the plant package. I appreciate your efforts labeling the specimens and suggesting planting positions. The quality, variety, and suitability of your plants are outstanding. Thank you. I thought you might like to see them after 10 days under LED lights. They seem to have their "feet down" and are starting to grow.
Best wishes. K "

"Good afternoon,
I am writing to say I got the plants on time on Friday and they all looked very good. I appreciate the extras thrown in, good picks. I have to say the Eusteralis Stellata is my favorite, the ozelot sword and ludwiga repens not far behind, however, all are great quality plants. I need them to fill out a bit and I'll be rockin'! I would recommend you to anybody looking for aquatic plants. The pet stores around here, in Sierra Vista, Az, don't know what they're doing. I give them credit though for offering plants. They sell the fluorescent lights and fixtures and such, but know and offer next to nothing in regards to aquatic flora.
Stay warm up there, , thanks again for great service and quality!!"

They are growing well with a few adding an inch already in just one week. The roots are popping everywhere and new little plants are pushing up around a few. Bubbles are rising from them after the lights have been on for awhile so I know they are doing their thing. It's rare to get such personal advice through internet shopping and this has made my beginning at having a planted aquarium off to a successful start.

The detailed instructions were also much appreciated. Thank you both so much for the quality service and attention.I'm sorry that I messed up by sending a vague e-mail that caused the shipping snafu,but it turned out ok thanks to your dedication and cooperation!

"Hi Don,
I received the plants on Sat. as promised, I planted them and they look great! I have one question, I have the Mono Potassium Phosphate and the Potassium Nitrite. I don’t recall you instructing me on how to dose that stuff. If you wouldn’t mind sharing that with me I would greatly appreciate it. Also, you have helped me so much, and have been very honest and up front with me about charges and shipping. If their is any way I can help you by becoming a reference for you and your business please let me know. I intend on sending pictures once my plant growth is a little more established.

My wife thinks the aquarium is beautiful, as do I. But she is/was the tough customer, and I have won her over on fresh water aquariums thanks to your help!"

"Hi Linda,
I wanted to write and thank you for another nice shipment of plants. The swords in particular are beautiful. Don mentioned that some of the plants weren't growing as well before the shipment, but I took his advice and switched from DIY co2 to pressurized and plants are really looking great. I can't wait to see them fill in. The crypt parva is a fun little plant, thanks for adding that as a bonus. I really appreciate the quality and level of service, especially considering the circumstances at the time I ordered these."

Customers Say:

"Don:
Just wanted to let you know I received the plant order you sent Saturday. Everything arrived in great shape…thanks. Thanks for all of the labeling and the planting instructions and a BIG thank you for throwing in some stems of some of the more unusual stuff (Liminophila Aromatica, Ludwigia Cuba, Hydrotriche Hottoniiflora, Dwarf Lily). I am a newbie to the planted tank and the plants you sent were pretty easy to work with. I am sure I have more to learn but I think I am off to a good start thanks to your guidance. I added some Purigen when I put the plants in (Driftwood was leeching tannins despite my efforts to boil it out) so the water is nice and clear and the plants are doing pretty well. The stem plants are straitening out and the crypts and lily have leaves that are folding open. The Ludwigia Cuba is pearling oxygen bubbles. I will be beginning a regular fertilization schedule starting tomorrow. Since I am new I am using most of the Seachem fertilizers (expensive but they seem easy to use). If you are familiar with their products and have a suggested dosing cycle let me know. I know there is one on the aquatic plant central bulletin board that I can try too if you don’t have one.."
Thanks again for your help. You can’t count on me to order from you again and I will be sure to recommend freshwateraquariumplants.com to everyone I know in the hobby.

"Don,
I wanted to thank you for all the help you've provided me as well as some of the prettiest plants!!! I started my first planted aquarium about 3 years ago. I have had a number of fish only aquariums over the years but I wanted to give a planted aquarium a try. With your help and advice I was successful in growing a lush aquarium (even in hard Lake Michigan water). Given that I was 60 years old, I felt pretty good about the results. I have bought additional plants over this period with the same great results. I will, of course, continue to come to you for plants and other supplies."
Again, thank you for the quality of your plants as well as advice.

"Hi, Linda and Don,
My order arrived this afternoon and I made up the little balls of Substrate Gold, baked them and then began planting the 10 gal tank. 99% of the plants (Lily has no leaves?) are just beautiful!!! The Dwarf Lily is in the lower left front of the tank. There were no leaves, stem or roots on this bulb so I could not plant it? I will show you the unplanted tank in another email that I will send next - the difference in the look is a miracle, thanks to your plants. Thank you, too, for the Bacopa Carolina. If anyone wants to know where to buy high quality and healthy plants I will send them to you!!! Please let me know about the Dwarf Aquarium Lily - do I keep it in the tank? I have never had one of these before."

We recieved the plants on friday as expected. They look great! The val was just the right amount. If it all kicks in and grows, yes I will need to harvest some, but the initial look, and that is what matters to the client, is marvelous. We did the planting on Saturday since that was the earliest we could get into the client's office. But they seem to have weathered the extra day ok. Thanks for the extra plants. I look forward to seeing what the Kleiner bar sword looks like as it grows and reproduces.
Bottom line, it was worth the wait..."

"Hi Linda
I just wanted to say thanks for the wonderful plants, they finally arrived yesterday (whew!), I was a bit concerned because of the number of days spent in transit, but it appears like the plants didn't mind the extra travel time because they arrived in beautiful shape! I just had one question, there are two rhizome plants in the shipment, what is the best way to attach them to the rocks in my aquarium?
Thanks again

Just wanted to say thanks for all your help. I have to say that you run a first rate facility. You were the only plant supplier out of many I sent Emails to that contacted me personally. That says a lot about your business. And the personal help you gave me was excellent. The plants arrived in perfect condition and were very healthy. I haven't seen better plants anywhere else.You have one very satisfied customer and I will recommend you to all my friends that have aquariums. Keep up the excellent work.

"Hi Linda,
Just wanted to let you know that your plants are incredible. Everything looked like show plants. The anubias and swords were both pearling on day 1. There was effectively no transition. The Kleiner bar sword is already sprouting 2 new leaves. I bought plants from another company at the same time, and the quality difference is amazing. There is at least one of the species I got from them that I don't think is going to live. With yours, I can count the leaves that have come off. I don't know if your plants are that much healthier to start, or if your shipping is that much better, but whatever your secret is, the quality difference is noticeable and dramatic. Count me as a satisfied customer. And probably a repeat customer at some point. Until then, I'll definitely recommend you.

I just wanted to thank you for the shipment of plants I received from you last year. After a few trials and tribulations (green algae!!!) my 10 gal is doing very well. The spiral Vals are growing so fast that they actually pay for the upkeep on the tank at my LFS when I harvest them. I am proud enough of my tank that I have included a picture, and the plants are about a third again as large as they were when it was taken a month ago. I can't say enough about the quality of the plants you sent--I haven't lost a single one. Thanks again, and keep up the good work."

I received my plants yesterday and cannot express how pleased I am with them. They arrived in great condition and I could not believe how many healthy corkscrew vals were in the bag. There roots are amazing. Again thank for you for the great input because my other choices would have been way too much for my 30 gallon. And thank you for the sample Bacopa Australis they too were extremely green and healthly looking, nothing like the local pet store selections at all. I cannot wait to see leaves on the water lily, but will enjoy waiting and watching them all grow. Again thank you for the wonderful healthly plants. I believe they will make a great addition to my aquarium as well as contribute to my fishes happy environment."

Just wanted you to know everything arrived safe and sound.

As soon as Rick cleaned things off this morning, I ran to the post office and picked up the box. I will most likely be calling this afternoon for help in hooking up the CO2. Even in the bags the plants look really nice and I'm excited to get everything set up."

"Don & Linda,
Thank you so much for the wonderful plants you shipped out to me back in December, and thanks for all of the wonderful extras. It was a beautiful package and really filled out my aquarium! I saw an immediate difference in the attitude of my fish, as they are now much more "out in the open" and more fully utilizing the space in the aquarium. I'm struggling a little bit with algae growth on the Anubias, but in general, the plants are all very healthy. My favorite plant is the Nymphaea stellata. The colors in this plant are simply amazing, and it is growing very well in my water, which is relatively hard. You sent me three bulbs and two have really taken off while one is still just getting started"

I just want to let you know how pleased I am with the order I just received. You shipped on Wednesday, and I received the package on Thursday, so I am also pleased with the Postal Service. I was surprised at the care you took in packing the plants. There were no leaks in the box, and the plants were all intact - none were broken. Every plant arrived looking so fresh and healthy they could have been pulled from someone’s aquarium the moment before. Thank you for the extras. I have placed them in my aquarium, either loosely planted or floating until I have time to place them where they will look best. I am grateful to Shirlie for recommending you, and you can be sure I will do the same at any time I have the opportunity. Do you have a wholesale division? Our nearest pet shop has very few plants, and I will be glad to tell them about you if you do."

My tank is a 90 gallon discus tank and has injected co2 at around 19ppm , KH 5 ,GH 7, ph is 6.9, Nitrate is about 3, phosphate is around 0.3 with a temp of 81.5 F and iam currently running 2.8 watts per gallon of pc lighting at 6700k.

I received the plant package yesterday and thought I would let you know that I’m extremely pleased with what you sent! Great variety of colors, shapes, and sizes just as I was hoping for. All the plants were packaged well in labeled plastic bags and they were all in impeccable condition. This really being my first “aquascape,” I spent several hours planting them and trying to figure out, precisely, where to put each plant to get the overall look I wanted. The phosphate level is .2, GH 10, KH 6, and PH 7.0, 110 W 5000K light, so they should grow, I hope. I’ll probably send you a picture in a few days to get your opinion on how it looks and I’ll definitely send you a picture once it grows in! So, in conclusion, thanks for running your business with quality and customer satisfaction as the top priorities, it definitely showed in what you sent me and the time you spent with me on the phone!

I just received my plants in the mail today, they arrived in excellent condition and they are beautiful. Now my baby betas have great hiding places and have stopped burrowing in the substrate for shelter. The plants look great, and I was surprised to see how large they already were. My shrimp and corys nestled in immediately, and I think they are going to love their new enviorment. Thank you for making it possible, the pet stores in my area do not carry live aquatic plants. I hope to take as good as care for these plants, so that I can set up a similar display to the ones that you have on the web site. Simply beautiful! "

"The plants arrived and as previously they look wonderful. I did place each blade of grass separately. I could barely see the hairgrass, let alone grab it with tweezers. I’m sure it will look wonderful when it fills in, but what a pain. I really like those plants with the red color. Thank you and I’ll let you know how it all fills in. By the way, the other tank is looking outstanding."

"Linda and Don:
received your shipment of aquarium plants, and it was well worth the wait for warmer weather. I am very pleased:
1. the 'extra plants' are appreciated very much.
2. the complimentary 'warm pack' was still warm, and very much appreciated based on the recent freezing weather we have both experienced. The excellent packing job paid off as everything arrived in great shape.
3. the quality/health of the plants is significantly better than those available at PetSmart or Uncle Bill's, and of course, many that you offer are not even available at these chain stores. (but you knew that!) "

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

"Linda,
Thanks so much for this! It is people like you that make this hobby so great! What's amazing in this case is that I didn't even have to say anything and I am getting new plants. Whether you knew it or not, Don called me and told me he sent me plants not quite up to his standards and he didn't feel good about it so he wanted to send me new ones. Keep up the good work! Most businesses in this hobby I have dealt with have been great, but there has been one or two that still need to figure things out...I won't mention names."

"Hello,
Just wanted to let you know that my plants arrived Saturday and were in great shape. It was apparent , by your packaging and labeling that you strive to deliver quality plants. I was wondering what I should use for a floating plant. The plants I purchased from you were for a 125 gallon low light discus tank. I would like a shaded area for the fish."

The plants arrived in PERFECT condition. I was really impressed with the condition, quality & variety of your plants! My aquarium has finally come to life since I've planted them, which by the way was a breeze with your diagram. Even my husband (who is very hard to impress) was amazed at how quickly they went in and how the whole aquarium has become a "Work Of Art."

"I ordered some lileaopsis from you about a week ago; got them today and they are great! Much better quality than what I've found locally. My reason for this email is that you threw in an extra plant with the order. Being new to this hobby, I'm not sure what this plant is. I was wondering if by chance you can tell me? I don't know if this will help, but my order number was #5896. Thank you so much for the beautiful plants. I will be ordering more from you as soon as my husband gives me the "go ahead". Hope the weather has warmed up in your neck of the woods! Talk to you again soon."

Customers Say:

"Hi Don.
I got the tank planted, and it looks great! But I'm still trying to figure out where to put some of the extras you thew in. Not a bad problem to have. I've purchased plants form a local pet store before, and what a difference! Your plants had no dead leaves or snail eggs or debris to remove, and needed very little preparation on my part. It probably took as much time to plant the 40 or so plants I got from you as it took to prepare and plant the 10 I got from the pet store."

Thanks!

"Wow!
My plants arrived on Friday. I was truly amazed. This is my first planted aquarium, although I have been keeping fish for 20 years, I have never seen such beautiful plants before. I have looked at plants in many a LFS but never have I seen such healthy plants. It was definitely worth the wait. The extra plants were a nice bonus. Thank You!!!!

I have a 36 Gal. tank with an Eclipse hood, the tank volume is closer to 28 Gal. due to substrate, driftwood, and rock formations. I am supplementing co2 with a Red Sea Bio system. Lighting is 36 watts of florescent, supplemented with natural light filtered through my outside trees."
P. S. I will definitely use your business again when I set up my next tank.
Thanks again,

"Hello Don,
I thought I would send you a picture of my aquascape. (Matt Helgeson's Aquarium) I absolutely love the plants I got and everything has been going great. Its been about 5 months now that these plants have been growing. I may make another order with you sometime in the next few weeks, or maybe make a drive up to Faribault when I am up in Northern Iowa for Christmas. Is your nursery open for customers to buy plants or not? It would be great to see the operation in hand and pick out some specialty plants."

"Hi Don,
I just wanted you to know that my order arrived right on time. I must tell you that when I opened the box I was amazed at the quality of plants that you sent. I think that when people decide to try fresh water plants and they go to their local pet chain store to see what is available a lot of them are turned off. I have already had compliments from friends when they see my tank. I will send a photo attached to this email. I have some small "landscaping" to do but it all looks great. If after seeing the photo you have any suggestions please do not hesitate to let me know. Thanks again. "

I will definitely be contacting you soon to place another order for my friend. Thanks for the extra plants and substrate. Without your hand-written directions, I would have not been able to do it.

"Don,
Okay, I give up: so many plants and several pleasant surprises. Despite having a basic aquascape prepared on paper, the range and number of plants sent me back to the sketchpad. The final “design” is a combination of “by the book” and improvisation. Any lapses are my own, because the quality and selection of plants are exceptional. Am I worthy of Ammania senegalensis ? I’ll let you know in a month or two. Best E. ozelot I have ever seen and the E. uruguayensis was a specimen within 15 minutes of placement. The A. crispus is beautiful with green, olive and dark khaki foliage. My only complaint is that you sent so much Java fern that I ran out of space on two large pieces of driftwood, and my vegan daughter-in-law is not due to visit until September. In all seriousness, thanks for your help and the exceptionally nice plants."

"Hey folks,
No long winded stories here, just some before and after pictures. The one labeled "planting day" is one many of you saw a while back. The one labeled "now" is, well, now. The long windy things in the middle are lilly pad stems, the leaves of which you can see at the top. They're quite happy and I have to prune off 5 or so every week.
I want to extend a big thanks to David Kee from Kee's Aquarium and Pets (Shelby Michigan) who hooked me up with a beautiful Oceanic tank, all the equipment, fish and knowhow. Also to Don Matakis at freshwateraquariumplants.com who supplied all of the plants. Don and Dave have been an ongoing help and it's a rare week that I don't talk to them at least once. So if you get into the aquarium hobby, look them up, they are top notch operations.
What you can't see in the "now" photo is that the tank is now surrounded by a picture frame.
This project is now what we had envisioned when starting out, we couldn't be happier! Many happy prunings/replantings to come..."

"Hi Don and Linda,
"The plants arrived Saturday in great shape and the tank is planted as you can see from the photograph. We are thrilled with the way it looks! The kids love it and my wife and I just sat an looked at it for over an hour on Saturday evening. (We still need to put a picture frame around the edges) Some things I am working through:
1. I started the C02 last night and the pH immediately started to drop. Last night the pH was at 8.4 and this morning was holding steady at 7.7. I presume I will just keep it going at 2 bubbles per second until the pH gets to neutral. It seems to be holding at 7.7 though.
2. I have dosed 65ml of Tropica mastergrow.
3. I have not yet put in the nitrate or the phosphate fertilizer, I will do that this evening targeting 5-10 ppm nitrate and .3-.5ppm phosphate.
4. The tank is a bit warm, the temperature is running at 81F just due to the water pump (Poseidon pump, warms the water a bit but is silent running) and the tank being in an enclosure. The heaters don't run at all and I am only running one light ballast (160 watts 6000k bulbs). I'm looking into powered ventilation for the room the tank is in to help cool things down.
5. The ammonia has not yet started to build up after a week with fish. I talked with my lfs guy Saturday about it and he says 12 danios are not enough to cycle that size tank. If there is a major issue with plants in an uncycled tank let me know. I'll pick up some more fish this week.
Please let me know if you are concerned about anything above, if not I'll keep working to get things adjusted. I'll be in touch with the progress. I can't thank you both enough for all the help in setting up my aquarium to grow plants, oh and for all the plants that are in it! I hope you have more customers than you know what to do with, and even if you do, please make room for me too! Sincerely

"I got my plants today! They looked great even when they were in the bag. Before I opened every thing I went through and did an inventory check just to make sure I got all my plants and the right amount. I was missing some crypts. But you replaced those with a different kind of crypt. I was also missing an Anubius Nana. Without thinking I called right away and I got the machine, so I left a message. So later on in the evening I started to actually open the plants and put them in my tank. I had a bunch of extras! By just counting them by what they said on the bag I had 50. But when I was putting them into the tank I found 17 extra plants full size without counting the extra val there was too much too count. I was super impressed, I will definitely buy from you guys again and recommend you too all my friends who are looking for some great plants. Thank you. "

I got the plants and they are great!! Well worth the wait. I do have one question about the brazilian ivy. Is it supposed to be planted upright or more like a carpet. I planted it upright but noticed there are roots all along the vine so wasn't sure if that was right. I have tested all my water levels and the ph is still a little high at 8 but that is way down from where it was since I have been putting the acid buffer in. So far everything looks very good, fish are loving it. Will send pics when everything start growing and filling in. Thanks in advance, "

"Dear Don,
Greg and I would like to thank you for all the help you have given us in designing our tank and educating us in the process. Your plants arrived in great condition and I hope I have planted them all well. We are on day 3 and so far they are looking o.k. Thank you for the tip on the Hagen system, it is working great. We just can not thank you enough, our tank looks great and it has been a joy working with you. We appreciate the extra shipping of the wisteria and the extra plants you included on the orginal order. We actually ended up needing them in the back corner because we used a smaller piece of driftwood. We would like to write a customer testimonial for you on the great help we recieved and the quality of your products and service, if you can let us know how we go about doing that it would be our pleasure.
We enjoyed working with you, Thank You"

"Don,
Received my plant order yesterday, 10-27, and spent the afternoon planting. Mn to Ga in one day is impressive. The plants are in terrific condition. Neatly packaged and well identified. After talking to you by phone I felt they would be nice and generous. You exceeded my expectations both in quality and quantity. Thank you. When I am ready for more or different plants I will call you.
Thanks again,

"Hello, I received my order today (30 + plants) and I can’t tell how pleased I am. Being new to the hobby I was somewhat apprehensive about ordering a plant assortment. I was afraid I would receive a tangled, unlabeled mess of dried out plants stuck between some wet newspaper. What I received was a neatly packed box of individual ziplock bags clearly marked with the plant name and recommend aquascape placement. This was a great help! Your staff was helpful, your web site great, your shipping was reasonable and your plants were beautiful!
Thank you very much!
Sincerely"

"Dear Don,
Finally got everything unpacked and planted. Fantastic results so far. These are the best quality plants I have ever had a chance to use. It is going to be interesting to see the bulbs come up and to figure out when to prune all this. There were so many little extras that it completely fills up my 55 gallon tank. Luckily it was completely bare to start with. I'm definitely recommending your site to my friends. Thanks."

"Hi Linda:-
I received the plants today and I have to say I was THRILLED at not only the selection but at the way you packaged each one separately with its own little water supply and all labeled as well as including 4 pages of tips on planting and caring for them! I have bought plants online several times in the past and they have always come very limp and sad looking, just wrapped in damp newspaper and not labeled. Yours arrived vibrant and looking like they had just been picked from your tanks an hour ago instead of 2 days ago. Thank you for taking such care with my order; I will be sure to order again and will pass on how pleased I am to my other friends with planted aquariums."

" I figured USPS would treat the shipment as if was sent on Monday, and in fact, they arrived yesterday afternoon. But it doesn't matter... it was worth the wait. They arrived in perfect condition and i didn't expect them to be so.... beautiful !!!. I hope they stay like this forever or my heart will break. Even the more delicate ones look lively this morning. And the X-mas moss it's so full of life... you could clearly see it was growing even in the bag it arrived. Now my aquariums ( a 20 gal hexagonal in my room and a 4 gal rectangular in my office) look so alive and natural... as soon as the water clears and the plants settle, i promise to send you a photo. I've never seen my Guppies so happy... so happy in fact one gave birth this morning and now the tank is full of 15-20 babies swimming around like crazy. Please, let Donald know, i promised i would let him know as soon as the plants arrived. "

I did get the plants today. I'm at work now, but over my lunch hour, I was able to open up the package and take a look. I also floated most of the plants in the tank so they could get some light.
The plants look very good. I noticed a bag marked "extra plants." I could not immediately identify these plants, but want to thank you for your generosity. The plants look to be of very good quality and I am very excited to get the tank decorated.
I look forward to doing business with you again."

Customers Say:

"The plants arrived in good shape and snail free (Thank You!) Although the plants are going through a shedding period on their old leaves, I have new growth both in leaves and the root system. Although I know some of this is due to preparation of the substrate, I believe that it is also the quality of the plants. I’d swear the sword plant is 20% bigger than when it first arrived, but I doubt it will grow that fast. I will definitely order more plants as soon as I see how these fill out the space, and whether I want to fill in some areas with more color or background. I did increase the light to 3.25 watts per gallon, and it appears the plants are happy with that.
I cannot say this about many aquarium supply sites, but I would recommend your site. You came recommended to me, and I am very happy with my purchase.
Sincerely,"

"Don,
Thanks for the great customer service. The plants arrived this AM (like you said) and were in great condition. The quality makes up for the delay caused by the long weekend. The java fern is the best looking and largest specimen I've seen. What I received in the 20 plant package would have cost more than twice as much in the stores near my home. I'm still trying to figure out what all the "extras" you sent are. Also, thanks for returning my phone calls. Not many internet sites will do that. I'm still planning on doing a monster 200-300 gallon planted tank in the future. I'll be ordering from you again."

"Hello Don, I received the plants yesterday. They were in perfect condition. I followed your fore/mid/back-ground suggestions. And I have some rocks and stones laid around the tank that act as a foil to the plants. And the aquarium looks so lovely! It's as fun taking care of the plants as it is fish! Though I only have a dark blue Siamese Fighting Fish swimming around in the green. Can't wait to add the fish, little by little. I'm going to color coordinate them with your plants :) The only thing I am missing now is some driftwood! If you have any, I'd like some. If not, any suggestions where I can find some? Also: Do you have suggestions of plants for small (4/5 of a gallon) bowls containing Siamese Fighting Fish? The fish are red, whitish/pink, pink, and a lovely dark blue. And finally, thank you for the wonderful experience of buying the plants from you. I felt so comfortable throughout the process."

The roots on the Anubias were some of the best I've ever seen, and I didn't have to tease rock wool off of them with tweezers for an hour. Always a plus.

"Hi, Just wondering when your Cryptocoryne willisii is likely to be ready? Also, the plant order (#2372) I received was great. It included the best Cryptocoryne retrospiralis I've ever received from a dealer - one of the plants has a tuber that must be 4 inches long. The Christmas Moss is beautiful and the Limnophilla aromatica is a really interesting plant - waiting to see how this one turns out. The plants are great, but another plus is that the shipping charge is the best deal of all plant dealers on the internet. Plant quality and shipping price will definitely bring me back. ."

"Good morning! I'm writing to let you know that all of the plants included in my recent order (the invoice is in the below, original e-mail message) arrived in good condition yesterday afternoon. Also, thanks very much for the extra/free Java Fern "babies" and for the extra/free specimen of Anubias berteri, var. nana (ABN). Speaking of the ABN specimens (all four of which look absolutely beautiful), I was surprised by their overall size. Based on my reading and on the photos I have seen of ABN (yesterday was my initial, first-hand and up-close exposure to it), I was expecting the plants to be significantly smaller than the Java Fern specimens I received. However, they appeared - to me - to be much larger/taller than the Java Ferns. Perhaps, that situation is because the ferns I received are much younger than the ABN? So far, all I've done with the plants before placing them in their "home," a 6-gallon aquarium (it's an Eclipse 6 system), is to very carefully - without damaging the rhizomes - trim the roots radiating off the rhizomes, so that the roots are not more than about 1 to 1.5 inches long. Also, I removed some damaged/dead leaves from the ferns (again taking care not to damage the rhizomes). My initial plan, before placing the order, was to have the ABN in the tank's foreground. However, because they now seem to be so much larger than the ferns I received, I'm now planning to keep them in the tank's background (for the time being) and to have the ferns in the foreground and/or midground. Thanks again for the efficient delivery of your high quality plants. ."

"(Not sure which email address to send this compliment to, so please forward it to the correct recipient.) I decided to set up a planted aquarium as a Christmas present (and to stop the comments about that empty tank sitting around). After searching online, I came across this site. I found a plant assortment for a 55 to 75 gallon tank, and at a VERY reasonable cost. The order process was quite simple an the kit was ordered before I knew it. I recieved a phone call the NEXT day about the order to make sure that the plants that were included in the setup were suitable for the end goal of the tank. Being a possible home for discus, some subsitutions were made to ensure that the higher temps would not harm the plants. Every aspect of the aquarium setup was taken into consideration. The delivery arrived as promised, and EVERY plant was GORGEOUS and HEALTHY. I cannot wait to get the tank set up and get pictures taken of it. Thanks, folks, for making this a truly enjoyable venture, and I will be sure to spread the word of the AWESOME service you provided me with. "

"Hello;
I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that the plants arrived Sat, 11/27/04. The plants were in excellent health and look great. I was surprised at the number of plants that were shipped. I think they accent the tank very well. I'm sure the Apistogramma will love what I did with the place. The plants really seem to like the 10k lights that I am running as they are already streaming oxygen. The only plant that I did not use was the HornWort, I had that in my 75gal once and it took over the place, after a couple of months all I had was HornWort, LOL. Also being from the South, we have more red clay than we know what to do with, so when I saw the baggy of "Gold Substrate" I had to chuckle, as I thought, I got a baggy of red clay. LOL. But rest assure, I will highly recommend your site as your service and products are "Top Notch."

My plants arrived today. They look great. They were in the water within a couple hours of arrival. This will be my first foray into planted aquaria, except for the billions of zooanthellae(sp?) I maintain in my reef at home. I hope this tank will gradually evolve into Discus tank once stabilized with plants. Brief setup parameters: 55 gal standard dimensions/Emperor 400 filter with standard cartridges(supplemental boxes empty)/Coralife4x65watt PC-6500K/8 small Zebra Danios/ established gravel bed from previous community aquarium housed in tank with coarse deep layer, medium top layer natural gravel(total depth 4-5 inches). I know I should have written this letter first, not after the fact. Do you have any suggestions? Do I need CO2? Recommended fertilization regimen to start since I have no substrate fertilization except about five years of fish excrement and food(water changes done with a python so a lot removed with cleaning)? My office staff already thinks I'm nuts, so I want to wow them."

Thanks for the great plants, I look forward to great suggestions. Wilson

"Dear Don, Thanks for the excellent service you provided. The plants are doing great. I've included a couple of pictures of my acrylic 120 gallon tank made by Tenecor.

The stand was also purchased from Tenecor only I added on the dental work and wood carvings some purchased from Lowes home store and the shells from Cumberland wood carvings. Substrate is Eco complete and C02 is used. Feel free to post this email on your web site and/or pictures."

"Don, My plants came today. They look very nice. Thanks for the "bonus baggie", those all look nice as well. I hope that I will be able to make them take off as well. I am trying to identify the bonus plants to see what I have and what they will need. The website is an excellent resource for this. Thanks for the excellent plants and quick service!"

"Don, I can not tell you how thrilled I am with the aquascape collection you sent for our 55 gallon tank. All the plants are gorgeous and the one generous subsitution was far beyond what I would have ever expected. I found the landscaping map helpful and a great reference to further study the various plants we now own. Thanks so much! We'll be back to you when setting up a third aquarium!"

"Just wanted to write a quick note and thank your company for the aquarium plants. They're beautiful! I didn't know you could get plants like these after seeing all the plants in the aquarium shops and wondering if they were dead or alive? But most of all I wanted to thank you for all your help to know how to do this, that is what was really worth it to me! Thanks again, "

"Received the plants today. You guys (and guyettes) went overboard! The plants are beautiful; best condition that I've ever received. And thank you for the Cryptocoryne Lucens and the Aquarium Vital, which I always use. Additionally, I can't believe you went overboard on the shipping. You got me - no shopping anywhere else, and I'll see that my friends follow suit. Again, thank you very much."

"Received my order last Friday, July 16th with shipment date of the thirteenth of the month. It took 3 days which is typical of "our area's" 1 day or overnight shipment because we are so rural.. All plants seemed very healthy nonetheless. Planted my aquarium as soon as I got home that evening making for a beautiful display and great enjoyment for my diamond tetras; glowlight tetras and few blue platys. Thank you so much for your beautiful, healthy aquatic plants which I have no doubt are the best I could have gotten anywhere. I will be ordering plant fertilizer etc. from you in the near future but for now wanted you to know how pleased I am.."

Thanks again, Marilyn Frazer

"WOW!!! That is all I can really say... Most of the plants in great to near perfect condition...some had a couple of bad leaves and or tangles of other plants in them...but that was to be EXPECTED. I got more, much more, than I bargained for though. A tiny sprig of a wispy feather-like plant that has pink-red tips to the tiny leaves--I think it is Rotala wallichii (BONUS) and also some java moss spigs(I THINK). All total I am very pleased with the order and wanted to let you know. I also got a couple of hitchikers in the bag also...some tiny snails...at first I was going to kill them but decided that it was best to let them live..(easier to tame snails than it is to tame algae out-breaks)--so the snails are a bonus also. The Coffeefolia is already "pearling" (streams the tinyest air bubbles coming up from the rhizome)--I placed it in the center, under the bright light part of tank to help it thrive. The Nana(both of them) are very healthy. My tank was saturated to almost toxic levels of CO2 this morning (about 7.0 ph with Kh of ~12 deg = ~36 ppm +/-)..now even the water is better looking after just a couple of hours!! "

"Don: The plants arrived in excellent condition this morning. I am very pleased with the selection, quality and quantity of the plants. The reds you sent me are beautiful and it's up to me to make them grow. I've got a good light now (2W/gal, 90 CRI) and I've got the reds directly under the lamp and off-center. My DIY CO2 need an upgrade because it struggles to get the pH below 7 now. I'm am now in the process of making a controller (I love projects) for a high pressure system that should be up and running in a month or two. If nothing else, I can have it up and running in several weeks manually. I'll let you know how it goes and I'll get back with you for some fertilizer balls later this year. Thanks again for all of your help and advice. I don't think I've got everything correct to grow plants well but I'm getting better at due in part to your help. "

"Don: Many thanks! The shipment arrived in fine condition, and a very enjoyable afternoon was spent carefully unpacking and planting it all! It is just as well I did not order any more, as this lot occupies the tank nicely without any shading and crowding, a beneficial situation for the plants to get started. A very nice selection – much appreciated! I’ll be in touch again in the future after we see how these diverse species sort themselves out. Some will do better than others, and I will no doubt need to fill in some gaps in time. "

"I just wanted to send a picture of my tank since I planted the plants I bought from you the second week of July. I have been using Kent Pro Plant, and both Flourish and Flourish Excel. The plants are growing so fast, I find myself pruning every three days or so. One day It got to the point that I had like 15 large red leaves at the top of the tank completely blocking light to the rest of the plants. I pruned heavily that day. I am currently having to cut back on the pruning a little as a pair of Blue Rams I have are breeding and I can't get to that side of the tank with the clippers without them attacking the clippers. The plants are wonderful and I will be getting a new larger (125g) tank fairly soon, so I will definitely be buying some more plants. The plants will need to be goldfish proof plants though, as the tank will be housing 7 large goldfish." Robert Gordons Tank

"Thank you for the aquarium plants! They make my tank look better than any other tank I have ever seen. I think I may have to get another tank to support all of them. Once again I really appreciate the aquarium plants and look forward to ordering more from you in the future for other tanks."
