Beautiful tank, thanks for sharing it with us.

The plants all have a nice contrast.

Mark.

Absolutely incredible...The aquascape speaks for itself...great layout Mike.

Three months? That just goes to show you that the ADA line of stuff, when used properly and as a complete system, works amazingly well.

Keep up the great work.

I didn't take them off-- they are there under substrate system:

Honestly I couldn't care less about the "negative publicity" behind these products.

I'll let Mike speak to the layout/design questions though I will say that as far as the wood placement, he is trying some different things-- experimenting, trying to break the mold of the standard "Amano" style wood layout/positioning. These things do not always work perfectly in a photo (or at all for that matter) but may have an altogeter affective/effective impact when viewed in person, which is more what our gallery is geared toward. This aquascape works very well in person, though I agree the wood placement is a little tough to convey in the right perspective in the classic "head on" front view only photo.

That is truly a beautiful aquascape.. I'm sure your client got a lot more than his money's worth just in aesthetic value.

Just curious, does the tank have the typical dimensions of a standard 75 gallon tank? Also, how many watts/what type of bulbs are being used?

This tank is actually here in our gallery, so it is not a client tank. It would be a tough one to keep up for a client actually!

The dimensions are like a standard 75 gallon. The lighting is a Coralife fixture with 3- 150 watt HQI 8000 K and 4- 65 watt 6700 K PC.

Ah, I see, they aren't in any of the four subcategories.
