Great places to check out on our site:

The library - tank of the month articles and Aquascaper in focus articles have some great aquascapes to get ideas from.

The journal and Aquascaping sections - many great scapes to see there as well.



As for stems, the For Sale section has a great variety of colored stems for sale on a frequent basis.

That would be the AGA contest, but definitely another place to look for great scapes


I wouldn't say that I'm getting tired of the Nature Aquarium style. I am a fan of the Dutch style aquariums though for sure....

Is it just me, or are others getting tired of the nature aquarium? Seems like they all are looking the same. Dutch style tanks are my favorites. Just google "dutch style aquarium" and you will get a bunch of ideas:
