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?

rountreesj, sorry, I didn't understand the question, what do you mean "keep the bottoms of the plants from dying off"? Why should they die?
And for the slope, in the beginning there was, now it's gone. (hope I understand the last one).
