We have to remember that we create "our" tanks to please "ourselves". This may be to please us asthetically, or we may use artificial plants because we don't have the time or money to keep up with live plants. It really irks me that whatever Amano does is what we think we should do. If putting a putting green in your tank is what pleases you, then by all means do it. On the other hand the reason the "recognized artists" do it is because they have run out of things to do, and this is merely a way of gaining attention. Cheers to Amano for not crossing that line.
