This is a stunning tank!
But I prefer the old scape cuz of the red plants, they really make a better composition and contrast.
It will look even better if added some java moss on driftwoods.

but the overall is quite impressive!
congrat!

I'm going to guess it's an ADA tank that they are resellers for

Nice tank, Jeff/Mike!

I'd also have to second that 5D is fully capable of this quality. Hell, I'd bet the an XTI could do it, too, with the right lens and photographer.

Thank you to all that replied . This is the aquarium that is in my office . Its an Oceanic trim less open top style . I had them build this for me before we had access to ADA goods . Its not something they offer and its in no way close to the clean quality of an ADA aquarium . I will have Jeff get a list of plants that I used . I am not embarrassed to say that I am no expert when it comes to plant species identification . The idea I had for this layout was to match the refinement of the plant species with the feature fish . So I start checking what we have in clients aquariums and I always call my friend Luis Navarrow . Luis always shows up to ADG with some of his private stash that helps me to complete a layout . Since this photo was taken I have pulled all the stem plants ,trimmed the glosso. down to nothing so that it grows back nice and tight and moved the blyxa to the back . So there will only be the two species of plants and this will show more of the rock layout . The plan is to find some sweet "show" guppies and have Jeff get a nice photo . I always like the tanks Amano did with guppies . They were the first fish I ever had at the age of 4. Once they had babies I was hooked . I also am very fortunate to have my brother Jeff to photograph all of ADG's works . He has become equally if not more passionate for his photography than his aquascapes . But I am still his older brother

always holdin it down! as far as i'm concerned, no one cranks out the quality and consistency in the U.S. like ADG does. I'll secound the fact that I'm lucky to be living in houston around such inspiration and guidance. Cheers to another dope aquascape senske sensei!

Very inspiring! I like the new scape the best. Jeff do you have pictures of the actual take down and re-scaping of the tank? I would really want to see your scaping technique.

You have some green fingers msenske! Amazing scapes, both the previous and the current (or semi-current because you changed it again). Love the contrast in colours but the same kind of look from the plants in the back.
