Default October 2008 TOTM - Shay Fertig
We received an entry nominating this beautiful tank as our October 2008 Tank of the Month:



Shay has been keeping a variety of aquariums and paludarium systems for over 20 years. This 450 liter beauty sits in his home office. His use of contrasting textures and colors is a wonderful example of the Dutch style of aquascaping. For additional photos, a list of plant species, and details of the setup, please see the Library Article.

This tank is absolutely amazing. I would love to get some advice on how he gets the plants to grow in such incredible groupings. I can never get the hedge look in my plants.

Once again congratulations on an awesome tank!!!!

Hi guys, Shay is a friend and I can tell you that you haven't seen all yet.
I am amazed by his design every week, and it is changing all the time.

VERY NICE !
