That tank is just spectacular. I really like the horizontal look and the fact that there are "layers" of color and texture as you go from front to back. I think the use of color was really nice too, with no strong reds, but nice use of greens and yellows. Absolutely beautiful!

Thank you . This week I will be taking this one down and preparing for a new layout . I have to keep Jeff on his toes . Speaking of Jeff I will try to have him photograph the hard scape this time on the new layout so that we can show before and after photos.I normally do my layouts for my office aquarium after hours when no one is around and my wife and kids are not expecting me . I find aquascaping most enjoyable when the element of time in not relevant .

Jeff/Mike

What is your process for fish and critters? How long do you wait before/between you add shrimp, otos, and final school of fish?

Thanks again guys

I normally add shrimp and otos right at 7 to 10 days . I sometimes wait 4 to 6 weeks before I fish . Thats just in my personnel aquarium . For clients its much sooner . it sometimes takes me a while to decide on what fish I think will be appropriate for the layout and then there is the availability issue of the fish I may want . The last two scape's I have done the fish I chose looked great in person but did not show as well in a photo . I am going for a fish that has a little more "pop" in my next aqua scape.
