The Aquatic Gardener "Classic" Archive
Ever since the last Black & White issue of TAG went out of print a few years ago, we've been deluged by literally ...umm... a dozen requests for this material to be available again. Now's your chance! On one disk, get the entire archive of TAG starting from the "never-before-available" Volume 1, all the way through Volume 14 (all no longer in print). Issues, subjects and authors are all cross-referenced just as you see here. The difference is, you get the actual articles! Choose the CD-ROM if you just want 100dpi "screen-browsable" content. The DVD-ROM adds 300dpi printable PDF versions of each issue.
Note: This disk contains only the out-of-print "black-and-white" issues of TAG. The newer "color" issues can be purchased through our back issue sales.
Aquascaping Contest DVD-ROMs
If you've been having trouble accessing the site, have a slow link, or just want a physical disk to view our aquascaping contests, we've got just the deal for you. This DVD-ROM contains the results of all seven years of aquascaping contests, including slightly higher resolution photos than you can see on the website.
The 2007 Edition is shipping now!
Convention DVDs
DVD's are now available of all of our conventions! We're selling most everything as 2-disk sets now, combining older years into "combo" packs. Each set comes in a slimline DVD case with a printed cover. DVD Compatibility Note: These DVD's are burned onto DVD-R media, which should play on most, but not all, home sets and computers. But please ask if you are unsure! Membership note: Due to an arrangement with our convention speakers, DVDs are only available to AGA Members. If you are not a member, you must join before purchasing a convention DVD.
The 2006 Convention is now shipping, and like 2003 is packed into a two disk set: Ole Pedersen (aquascapes in nature), Troels Andersen (acclimation of plants to underwater life), Eric Do (shrimp and other invertebrates), Dorothy Reimer (growing it old-skool!), George Batten (Chemistry), Ricky Cain (Inspiration), and Jeff Senske (aquascape photography). Plus the traditional aquascaping contest awards, and the first-ever Iron Aquascaper Competition, filmed with three cameras and edited to 45 minutes.
The 2004 Convention includes Jan Bastmeijer (Crypts in Nature, and Emersed Culture), Takashi Amano, Diana Walstad, and Mike Senske. The disk also includes Mr. Amano's late-night aquascape demo, edited down from two hours of three cameras to a blazingly-quick 45 minutes. And we barely crammed in the aquascaping awards. The other two workshops had very poor sound, and are included only as low-bandwidth computer-playable AVI's.
The 2003 Convention had so much material we couldn't fit it on one disk, so we're charging an extra ten bucks for a 2-disk set: On disk 1 you get the main talks (Christel Kasselmann, Shaun Winterton, Roger Miller, George and Karla Booth, and Karen Randall), and on disk 2 another five hours of focus groups, banquet and miscellaneous talks, plus a bonus "behind the scenes" featurette that we challenge you to actually find!
The 2002 Convention has two presentations by Claus Christensen (including a collecting trip in Brazil), talks by Jeff Senske ("Commercial Aquascaping"), Chuck Gadd ("Plants: Nature's Test Kit"), Erik Olson ("Photography and the Planted Aquarium"), and Don Kingore ("Kent Botanica"). All talks used computer slides, which have been digitally transferred into the video. Also includes the (last ever?) traditional panel discussion.
The 2001 Convention includes Takashi Amano's Nature Aquarium talk and live aquascaping workshop, Wim van Drongelen speaking on the Dutch aquascaping style, Greg Morin of Seachem, Tom Barr, and Todd Stailey (photography). There's also a panel-audience question and answer session. For Amano's talk, we have overlayed Tomoko Schum's excellent translation directly over Amano's Japanese. The aquascaping workshop features "almost-professional" cutting between three different cameras, and is cut down to an hour... perfect size for presenting at a club or study group meeting.
The 2000 Convention features talks by Neil Frank, Paul Krombholz, David Lass (lighting), Charlene Nash on Public Aquarium Planted Displays, and Karen Randall (plus the entire AGA membership in attendence) on Plant Nutrition. We crammed a few convention photos and program notes into the DVD-ROM portion of the disk, and there's another little featurette hidden somewhere as well.
All presentations feature the speakers miked directly into the camera. Everything from 2001 on features some extra editing in an endevour to make things a little more enjoyable: The talks originally using computers have had the slides digitally inserted into the video. Various pauses for accidental backwards slides and such have been removed. It's not perfect, sometimes the mic didn't work right, and sometimes the slides don't look that great (especially that first year when the crack A/V team left the house lights on), but we're still pretty proud of them.
