It's awesome and fascinating, even looking over and over again with jealous. Just amazing to admire at this big tank if I have a chance to own this size of tank. How great it is....but my wife will object the decision cause of the water and electricity bill. Hahaha, I love this tank, keep up your good work. | |

My big question is how do you keep the bottoms of the plants from dying off...? Do you slope the substrate an extreme amount? | |

And for the slope, in the beginning there was, now it's gone. (hope I understand the last one). | |
