Very nice! Simple, but looks clean and almost flawless.

I like it very much except for one thing, there's no height?

Seems like an awful lot of wasted space on the height. Also I think it may be a Crypt in there which is going to get large and spoil your delicate scape, like someone planted an oak tree in a pristine Japanese garden.

Nice scape Mr. Baliban, Kudos. So would you be willing to send some mini riccia to South Africa? Huh Huh

I really like this scape, after all my aquascaping attempts have turned into jungles, I think this is the way to go. The white background adds to the sense of "barrenness" in the height to some, but I personally like it. If you add a nice group of top-dwelling schoolers I think it would be really cool.

Looks great Jason.

You can hold onto that rock to build the retaining wall.

Again, i agree with you on the wasted space, but these were the only tools i had.

Thanks again for the comments.

Jay Luto had the marvalous idea of chopping my picture for me to show the difference a few inches in tank height makes.

As you can see, it almost makes it look like a completely different feel.

Thanks Jay

That is a dramatic difference. I liked it a lot before but the lack of height focuses my attention more on the layout.
