Love it! Love it!

I have been looking for a beach them for a few years. Now I see how I can achieve it. Wish I had seen this before I did my mini break down. When I move I shall do it though. I will use oil -dry though for the top, though.

Beautiful, I can see the resemblance to the actual beach... sand river stones...

I am really excited to see that everyone sees what i was trying to accomplish here

Thank you all for taking a couple seconds to leave a comment!

John - I appreciate the words man. I always thought the layout was a little different and cool, but i am not sure if i think it is ADA material?

Alex - I think it is a combo. There is a good chance i added more substrate before I planted and after i took the hardscape shot....its really hard to remember. Either way, i know i trimmed the HC to give it more of a "hill."

I have been in a bit of a slump when it comes to planted tanks, but all of your encouragement is really helping me through that. I am very appreciative of that, and i thank you all!

I would enter it, but that is just my honest opinion. You never know unless you try right?

I think your work is a lot better then you realize some days.

This is an awesome use of texture and plant placement well done!

Amazing! Really beautiful!

John - Yeah, im going to enter it, i will always enter something, just for the reason you said. Thanks for the encouragement....i think we are all our own worst critics

Thanks travis and fab.

Usually the space an aquarium sits in really isnt that important, but i think this particular tank sits in a cool enough space to show a picture.

Here is my kitchen!!

Woow Jason!!

That picture looks right a home in one of those high-end design magazines! May I ask about the arm that you are using to hang the pendant. Is it DIY or did you purchase it somewhere.

Is this is a working kitchen?

Its so clean!
