You got that right! And I'm sure many will too, once they have the chance to see the tanks in person. I'm not making any advertisements for them, but merely speaking from my own experience, which has been nothing but positive. My point was simply that, having witnessed these hardworking people set up the tanks in person, I would think they at least deserve the credits for wanting to share these experiences with others on-line, including photographies. As for the hardscapes, I realize it is purely a matter of personal preference. Heck, not even everyone agrees on the winning contest entries. End of my discussion with this topic.
All in all, I like this tank. The rocks were arranged very nicely and did well in obscuring the boundary between the sand and the substrate. Perhaps more pictures of this tank at different angles should have been taken to show how all the different factors tie up; the rocks, the plants, the wood, etc... I think that would've given people a better understanding on its design methodology, thereby giving a more complete critique. Of course I know when people look at a tank on-line they only see it from one angle and in two dimension. My suggestion, therefore, is for others to take pictures of their tanks in at least 2 different angles; top view, front view, and side view. I will also do that from now on.
Good job, Luis!
