yes, yes carlos. especially that last tank from the 2004 contest. Just awesome. The sophistocation...it's what I pursue but am yet to achieve. Thanks for that.

I have submitted some update pics of the 90cm ADA tank to Art for posting- hopefully they are up soon. Once they are I would like to add a few comments/observations on the layout and proposed changes to improve it.

Posting pics of incomplete layouts gives me that feeling like I'm walking down Main Street in my underwear, but showing the stages and progress of this tank is important. These pics are of the tank as it sits,how it would have looked if you just walked into the gallery- no photo prep whatsoever... something new to me. I usually doll-up layouts quite a bit before shooting.

The new pix show up as red X's for me. Anyone with the same problem?

I don't think Art has the new pics up yet and the red Xs I think are old posts/pics that were moved around and never got properly restored. Perhaps Art can assist with this. If I need to send the new pics to someone else to post them I can- I just don't know how to add them to that series myself.

Jeff, feel free to send the pics to me, I will add them

Wow! That tank has come full circle! It looks firmly established. I am very impressed with your continued growth in the realm of artistic composition. Can you refresh my memory on the lighting set-up you are using?

If the "soil" is that fertile, and grows plants that fast, we're going to have a crash in plant prices!

The lighting is an ADA metal halide set up with dual flourescent bulbs. Check this link for further information.

It's great to see such impressive results in such a short time. But I must ask, how can you keep Hatchets in an open-setup?

It's basically a 2x36w PC/1x150w MH combo fixture. The PC's come on for 10-12 hours, and during this time the MH comes on for 4-6 hours.

nice and lush indeed

I only wish the hairgrass would stay a little shorter
