Very nice! John, you really should consider re sizing the photo don't you think?

John N. · 08-20-2007, 10:28 AM

Sorry about that. Now this fantastic aquascape should be fit on your screens.

Really unique in terms of color and design IMO. The use of HC and Riccia throughout the front,mid and back give the tank good depth, Congrats!

I think one of the most striking aspect of this scape is jordans ability to create a since of depth to the tank, it is very well presented and i like you choice of plants. I give it two Thumbs Up : )

Great choice for tank of the month.
I have seen this tank in person several times and I do have to say, that as nice as is looks in the photo's, it is 10 to 20 times better in person.

I think this is coming down soon however, I look forward to the next scape.
Great job Jordan.

Excellent choice for this month! I would have never guessed how it was going to turn out from the initial hardscape. I like how it looks so full, a great use of space.

My favorite tank!

What draws me to this tank (and why I thought it would make a good TOTM) is the excellent use of empty space. I personally have a tendency to fill every possible space with plants. Resisting this temptation creates a much better sense of depth.

The health of the plants is also quite evident. The HC and Blyxa are perfect for this setup. Looking at enough tanks like this really makes it difficult to fault the ADA method of nutrient supply.
