Title: Closing 'Rex's Planted Tank Guide'
Post by: wolfiewill on December 16, 2013, 12:22:29 PM
I see that Rex Grigg is closing his planted tank guide web site and is offering all his information if anyone is interested in carrying it on. I'm very disappointed as I use the site from time to time and it's a terrific reference site for all things planted. Surely, there is someone available who would like to inquire about taking this on. We have several people who come to mind. Anyone interested?

That is truly unfortunate, I wonder if a club can use some of his guide with Rex permission as a sticky?

It is too bad. The current site is already being sponsored by an unknown third party (despite what the msg reads), this is the second time this happens, but I think this time it's gonna be shutdown for good. So get all the info you can before it goes offline Dec 31st. Lots of valuable old school info from a planted tank legend.

I have submitted an email to Rex asking if we can publish his information as a sticky on our site, so as not to lose his views and advice.
So, stay tuned.

Thanks Greg for letting us know.

Has there been any response to your request?

No.
I had copied all the information before it closed though in case we wanted to use it.
