Like reef tanks, freshwater planted tanks create a diverse ecosystem with an emphasis on tropical aquatic plants. Because of this, some of the equipment we use on reef tanks is also appropriate for fresh water planted tanks. In response to our customer requests we now stock a full line of supplies for Fresh Water Planted systems.

Here's what hobbyists and professionals are saying
about the live plant section at AquaTouch:

"What a wonderful store you have! I was actually driving to somewhere completely else and I saw your store from the road. We had plenty of time so my boyfriend and I stopped in to take a look. Well number one, I absolutely LOVE the Amano display you have in your freshwater section. I also had the opportunity to chat with your employees about some algae problems I was having with my own planted tank. They gave me the most rational advice on how to take care of it! I'd just like to say you have a wonderful, friendly staff and beautiful animals. Please keep up the good work!"-- Katie. Phoenix, Arizona.

"What a nice display in a shop! The tank is clean and bright, but would benefit from some pretty stem plants growing up behind your central wood and moss. While it looks like you have attempted some foreground planting, you need to give these plants some time to grow in." -- Karen Randall. Author, 2005 Aquatic Gardeners Association Contest Judge.

"Excellent low maintenance aquarium. No doubt the customers are impressed with the display. This tank's best quality is the open space for the fish to swim about. The aquarist looks to have taken the fish into account as well as the plants which is especially important with discus. The foreground and background needs to fill in a lot. It looks like they were recently thinned/trimmed or planted. Make sure to leave some open room for the discus to peck food on the substrate. The stand of crypts in the front could be moved back some from the glass to keep them from crowding the front of the tank..." -- Phil Edwards. 2005 Aquatic Gardeners Association Contest Judge
