I actually don't agree with this. Maybe I am mostly talking about NewB's, but I think the newbie stage lasts a lot longer than most people would like to admit. Probably it includes 90% of people that come to this site. Many, many people start aquascaping before they're prepared to be succesful at it. It's frustrating. It takes a lot of time and experience to master the basics, figure out what you can grow, and show the plants to their full advantage. I think your article is full of good information that can be applied to any level, especially concerning mid-ground development.
I'm just suggesting that even an artist with great inspiration and great vision can't really create a masterpiece in this hobby without understanding the medium.
Squawkbert,
What grade are those cows?
