August 2007 Tank of the Month - Jordan Reece
APC proudly presents August's Tank of the Month - 90P 'Iwagumi Rock Garden' by Jordan Reece ( Arowanaman).
"I have been practicing nature scaping "Amano style" for little over 7 years now and have done planted tanks for many years before that." - Jordon Reece
You can find the complete details of Reece's aquascape in our Library: August 2007 Tank of the Month - Jordan Reece.
** We're always looking for the next TOTM. If you see an aquascape you think should be featured, please submit your nominations in the Tank of the Month Nomination Forum. Your post will only be visible to the APC staff and you may nominate yourself. **
Please join me in congratulating Jordan Reece on creating a spectacular aquascape and making August's TOTM.

Re: August 2007 Tank of the Month - Jordan Reece
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!

Re: August 2007 Tank of the Month - Jordan Reece
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 : )

Re: August 2007 Tank of the Month - Jordan Reece
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.

Re: August 2007 Tank of the Month - Jordan Reece
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.

Re: August 2007 Tank of the Month - Jordan Reece
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.
