Beautiful tank, thanks for sharing it with us.

The plants all have a nice contrast.

Truly amazing! Can you say something about lightning?

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.

Any chance of adding them back?

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?

jsenske · 08-20-2006, 08:37 PM

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.
