Fantastic sense of scale and execution.

The most interesting tank I've seen in a long time. Well done!

This is incredible. The smallest tank I've ever seen. Great job.

I gotta say...wow. If you could design a filter for it in miniscule with lily pipes and stuff...oh well, you already are king.

GET THE F- OUT!

After reading only the first page, I was about to call shenanigans on this. It was so perfect, with the hand in the frame, I thought "OK this is just a fantastic Photoshop job." But no, indeed it is real!

Rastaman, you are my tiny hero.

No on a serious note, this is very impressive. I am 100% jealous of your skillz. I assume you did most of this with tweezers? Do you care to share/elaborate on your process for putting it all together?

Oh and kudos on the ADA stand - quite the finishing detail!

Great job man. Keep it up!

OK, NOW THAT JUST KILLS ME!!! Those babies look so huge! LOL And what can I say about you standing in front.... I am seldom at a loss for words...... I bet water changes are a real bear - considering how short you are!

I was telling the people at one of the LFS about your tank. They couldn't believe it! In this case SEEING IS HARDLY BELIEVING! (I'm gonna have to print out a px and show them - to prove I'm not making it up.) I think this would qualify for Ripley's Believe It Or Not!

Yes, i use small ~5" tweezers for scaping it. It's not so complicated, you just have to be patient(both meanings of this word can fit ).
Christmas moss was attached on small flat stones with cotton thread, and Fissidens I tied up in bunches and anchored with small stones. Most of spent time took me sealing and cleaning excessive silicone from glass. Just scaping this took me about 15 min.

Wow! that's all I can really say

The stand is just icing on the cake. I think I'll be out collecting a tiny hardscape tomorrow

We should all take the printable stand and have a tiny ADA contest, Absurdly Deceptive Aquascaping.
