Questin -- Thanks
I'm thrilled my tank is liked by so many people. Sometimes I have to step back from the frustrations of it and enjoy it too
Bryce - Thank you! While the award-winning tanks have definitely been my inspirations over time, the notion of just creating layouts to photograph at a "peak", enter in a contest, tear down and start again seems a little empty to me.
In 6 months time, the tank will probably go in the direction of huge ferns, lots of crypts and a few favorite stems (with color???). Now that things are settling, I'm expecting a lot of dominance with the rosettes and rhizomes.
