    Not me

    He must have waiting freaking long for the fish to be almost perfectly posed like that.

    reminds me of one of Amano's tank.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    you should never forget that pictures are forever, a real aquarium however, will never look this good ALL THE TIME.

    also a real aquarium (vs pix) would be fully lit and not so sexily half lit

    Agreed, my tank pic looks better than the real thing

    No idea how big it is, most likely 3ft like you said, or even 2ft. Gauge from the size of the glosso. Easy enough to get the plants.. but the wood positioning is exceptional.

    Of course it's Amano's! Most likely anyway

    *shrug* magic fingers

    My guess is it's the glosso... they grew crazily enough to stop all other algae.

    why do you say glosso no trimming effort? they can grow so fast that you need to thin them otherwise the layers below will rot and breed BBA.

    Yea, glosso is a crazy grower when conditions are right. I had to trim my tank every week when I had it.

    That's Amano's work.
    See http://www.vectrapoint.com/main/phot...ga11-JPEG.html

    A few more at http://www.vectrapoint.com/main/photo/gallery.html

    BTW - I was searching for ADA Europe and found that their website has been revamped. Nicer. Check out http://www.adaeuro.com and view their gallery.

    Cheers!

    I thought glosso will only grow spreading vertically if the lights high enough...? So doesn't need trimming...?

    glosso grow vertically if the light is NOT strong enough. and they look terrible that way so no point.
