This one looks even more amazing in person than the other tanks in the past We're constantly reminded how lucky we are in Houston.

Do you really think THAT was the difference, or may be it was just Jeff's skills as a photographer. 5D is MORE than capable of producing that shot in the hands of a great photographer.

Amazing Jeff, as always. What are those rocks, are they just algae covered or is that their natural color?

sidenote: If you have not already made a move, I have my 1Ds mark II for sale (getting a Mark III)-- I'd make you a great deal on it and you'd know who it was coming from! Though a 5D is a good camera too.

Ed-- the rocks are that color. They are the same ones we have used in several previous scapes-- they came from a friend in Japan that collected them on hiking trips and sent them to us one to two at a tme-- so this set is the only one we have for this rock type.

plants are:
Glossostigma, Rotala nanjenshan, Rotala rotundifolia "green", Ludwigia brevipes, Ludwigia arcuata, Eusteralis Stellata, Roatal macrandra sp., Blyxa japonica. I think that's all.

Sorry that I do not have pics of the take down. I really should document those events-- just too darn busy most days, though it would be pretty impressive to see i think because this one even sat for several days with just wet substrate. I mean, you'd think it was a goner but to see another healthy scape pulled from it is good testament to re-scape possibilities of ADA substrate (a topic that has been questioned in the past).

Auqa porn? Whatever. If you're trying to be in the business of making attractive tanks, you're certainly doing a great job. Nice layout. Great hardscape and great midground. Those two elements really make the scene.

I especially like the right hand side, I have to ask about the name, we use Threadfin as the common name over here not Featherfin?

Please tell Mike he's made one gorgeous aquascape! It's hard to see the fish against all the color, but that may be a factor of being a photograph. I would dearly love to have this tank in my living room. If only I could afford ADG.

Cheers,
Phil
