I think it is lovely ! 8)
My algae scape (AGA entry)
Yes, you heard right, I have an algae scape 
The algae actually wasnt in the plan. During my algae phase, I got a little bit of cladophora algae on the wood. I started to kill it all off, but then decided I liked it. I then treated it like any other plant that loved column ferts, and it treated me nicely in return.
Before you ask, I don't think this is the same clado that you have with marimo balls (This stuff does not like to ball up).
And to jump the gun again LOL....Yes, the algae is still growing nicely in the scape. It is NOT in anyway a temporary effect.

Thanks for the comments
Gnatster: Don't tempt me
MrMup04: umm...that would be the Cladophoro sp. algae
Rob: Those are emeral eye rasboras. Their blue eyes just worked out nicely with the background and contrast to the green

Looks nice Gomer. There are a lot of good algae aquascape examples. Ocean aquarium in S.F. has some really neat tanks with algae aquascapes. They have a goldfish tank that has BBA that looks really neat.

Glad everyone is liking it
IUnknown, I did see that BBA tank. It did look rather interesting. I think I'll stick to the cladophora though
Pineapple, You won't be seeing that happen...although I'll trade you a small bunch of the algae for a dozen rare german hybrid swords
Hanzo, Not sure if the marimo ball species of clado readily attaches to the wood like this clado does.
