Look at the post, there's only one link on there.

I'm not blind, I'm just not seeing the same website you are, probably
due to cache/update or registered/unregistered problems.
From what I see, I can't even find "the post" which you speak of, let
alone the link.

Here's what I see when I go to www.BarrReport.com (Front page, middle
panel, as of 14/Jan/2005, about 16:00 UTC):

125G Planted Mbuna Tank
Submitted by travis on Fri, 2005-01-07 10:32. Aquascapes

I see a few aquascapes have been submitted so far. Thought I would keep
the ball rolling. This is my 125G planted mbuna tank. I had terrible
problems with algae (and test kits) until I started using Tom's
Estimative Index dosing system. Sounds like a testimonial doesn't it?

Notes from Aquatic plant class.
Submitted by Tom Barr on Wed, 2004-12-29 04:23.

I will be posting some notes from a class from UF about aquatic plants,
this applies to wild plants. These are from the top researchers in the
world on aquatic weeds.

I'll post them then discuss the content later after the first main
article is posted. So there will be basically an article, plus some
detailed notes from a different viewpoint than anything written in
aquatic plant books.

Regards,

Tom Barr

The Barr report lives!
Submitted by Tom Barr on Fri, 2004-12-24 14:18.

Hell freezes over

I've finally decide to start a site that focuses my experience,
educations, research and findings with aquatic plants. This site will
build in content as everyone that knows me will surely attest to. I tend
to write a great deal about plants on the mailing list and boards. I
will answer some very general things on public list/forums, but I will
help those subscribed here to whatever detail they require.

While this has been a very long time coming, it has also given me a
chance to focus what I want to create much more and to have the
background to do it. I want to personally thank Greg Watson for his
invaluable help and efforts for this.

We are excited to announce limited availability of the Barr Report and
the website in Italian, Spanish, and French. Content and navigation
that has not been translated will be displayed in English. Most articles
have been translated (some more sophisticated than others) and can be
accessed in Italian, Spanish, and French by selecting the country code
flag at the top of each article. We hope to add German soon!

The Estimative Index of Dosing, or No Need for Test Kits
Submitted by Tom Barr on Wed, 2004-12-08 20:21. Estimative Index

What is it?

The Estimative index is a simple method to dose nutrients for any tank
without test kits. In a nut shell, the aquarist doses frequently to
prevent anything from running out (plant deficiency) and does large
weekly water changes to prevent any build up (Plant inhibition). In this
manner, we can easily maintain a close approximation or an “estimation
index” of the nutrient levels during the week, not too high, not too low
and…..no need for a test kit because the accuracy is close and in most
cases closer than a test kit. I’ve done numerous test runs over a week
or three week time period using very high light and many different
species of fast growing stem plants. This will give an assumed “maximum
uptake rate”. This rate is important in setting the upper limit of the
needs of the plants. Once the aquarist knows this rate, they can be
confident that they are not going to run out of any nutrient at most any
lighting variable. This “rate” of uptake or dosing is what is truly
important rather than maintaining some static “residual” level.

Stages of the Aquascaper
Submitted by Tom Barr on Wed, 2004-12-08 20:10. Aquascaping

Differentiating from the plant _gardener_, the plant aquascaper has a
much longer, and less frustrating path in development. "Gardening"
involves the growing aspects of aquatic horticulture. This includes the
physiology, ecology, pruning, aquarium maintenance and mastering the
ability to use the "colors"... the plants themselves. I started off
aquascaping with rock, next came coral and marine tanks, then driftwood
and finally to plants both Marine and Freshwater. The "Aquascaper" uses
the colors(the plants) to paint their design. Aqauscaping involves all
aspects of design and layout.
