Now, Robyn needs your help! Please!

I wrote an article for Organic Gardening magazine on organic container
water gardens last month for Jan/Feb issue. It's the first time I've been
paid to write or for my animal/fish/or pond info (not including my pond
book which cost me more money than I paid). I thought the work was done.
The editors sent back their draft and now want more work! I'm still
getting over my flu, strep, infected ear and wisdom tooth, and pink eye!
I'm at work even though I can hardly stand! Anyway, one thing I don't
know how to do is get some expert quotes they want. By expert, I mean
someone with a degree in a pond sort of specialty like aquatic biology or
an author of pond books (I wrote a book but that doesn't count). Here
are the quotes they need in their words. Can anyone put me in contact
with an expert ASAP! They need it within DAYS! They don't want the
article to just be what I say. I has to be expert. Any quoted people
would be in print and famous. :-)

1. An academic source quote about how different aquatic plants function
to help create a balanced environment and the role of submerged plants in
cleaning up excessive nitrates.

2. A brief expert quote explaining the three types of algae - string,
surface, and suspended - and the function of potential problems with each.

3. Authoritative quote of a couple of the specific indicators of a
healthy or unhealthy pond.

That's it but aren't those vague! Also, please e-mail to
as this e-mail is being flooded with a large virus
that wastes all my disk space in 1/3 a day and the e-mail may bounce. You
can use this e-mail if it doesn't bounce back to you though.
Thanks! What have I gotten myself into?
