Hey Raymond!!!

I love the tank, ecspecially the colours!!

I live in Plett, know exactly what you mean about how hard it is to find "stuff" for planted aquaria here in SA.

There is a couple of questions that I would really like to ask you, you know info is nowhere to be found down in the south part of the world.
I really don't know how about doing this, or to reach you, but i would really appreciate it if we could get into contact, for some insight and info.

My nr is 0762662068.
I look foward hearing from you
Cheers!!
Maurice

Lovely stuff! I really like that pic of the different light spectrums on the water surface...very impressive.

Pogo stellatus is one of my fave plants.

Great work Raymond, and congratulations!!!

i had discus in that tank, so it was running at about 29-30C, so no chiller...

Very nice to see a change from the Japan style plains that seem to use less variety of plants.

WOW very nice tank! i love the use of many different stem plants w/o it seeming to cluttered and everything flows very nicely! what kind of trace product do you use? colors are amazing! thanks for sharing!
