D. Personal sites

These personal websites are alphabetized by the fishkeeper's first name, since that's all so many of us use. Though the sites here are general-interest freshwater websites, individual fishkeepers have also created some excellent sites that are devoted to specialized aquarium subjects, which the Skeptical Aquarist links you to at appropriate points. Of course, many of the major web hubs already mentioned are also, in fact, the brainchild of a single coordinator at work behind the scenes.
 
This is offered with the understanding that it's a rather elite list; there are many many excellent personal websites besides these. Many have vanished from the web: Randy Carey's former site, kveeti, Erik Leung, Mike Edwardes...
 
But each of the largely single-handed efforts in the following list has something outstanding or unique.
 
Personal websites come and go; the Skeptical Aquarist can't provide a genuine links farm, so, though I combed this in April 2011,  think of it more as a surfing beach.
 
An excellent descriptive ***annotated list of personal websites featuring planted aquaria is Erik Olson's section "The Words of Plant People" at The Krib."  All the plant gurus are represented there!
 
***Adrian R. Tappin's "Home of the Rainbowfish"  is broader than its title suggests and far excells anything you might normally expect in a personal site. Scope the *"Keeping and Caring" articles on basic subjects like *culturing live foods, alkalinity and New Tank Syndrome, on the CO₂-pH-carbonate balance, diseases, etc. There is good material on the freshwater ecologies of Australia and New Guinea. 
 
**"Chuck (Gadd's) Planted Aquarium".  Sparkling natural planted aquaria, massed pix gallery. Clear, carefully researched articles from one of the web's plant gurus, include one on *chloramines and on *setting up a planted tank, now in an elegantly simplified format.
 
*Frode Roe's homepage "Fox'n's Aquatic Home"  The photo gallery shows what the "Dutch style" planted aquarium really means. Infectious personal enthusiasm, crisply-photographed gloriously healthy plantings, and aquascaping that's full of ideas.
 
**George and Karla Booth "Aquatic Concepts":  A long-established West Coast site with lots of advanced aquascaping tech, from lighting to substrates, relating to high-tech "optimal" planted tanks, from another of the web's premier planted-tank gurus; photo gallery.
 
Mark Burningham. "Marksfish"  Good personal articles, DIY projects, including plywood tanks, and *peat filtration that brings his alkaline water down to pH5.0.  
 
***Randy Carey's "Two Wet Hands".  This is Randy's new site, an outstanding achievement for a single aquarist. I do miss the reviews and  articles of"Randy's Fishroom" , especially "Spawning and raising Tetras, Barbs and Rasboras" and Randy's wide-ranging *"Journal." Randly reminisces here. 
 
Simon's My Aquatic Eden: this reflective aquatic gardener ranges widely.
