That tank is breathtaking. Wonderful layout and very healthy and lush. Kudos!

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.

Stunning! I love the style, a nice mix of east and west, like another one of yours I remember, Mike.

Including your discus set ups? No heavy metal removal necessary, or is your water "clean"?

Yes-- including the discus tanks. I don't know a lot about our tap water other than we us it for everything without too much trouble.
