    Very Amano-ish! Tidy up a little and it can be ADA worthy

    Love how the narrow leaf java fern bunch works.

    Thanks for all the comments guys.

    The foreground is a mess. [like messy creator! ]

    you be submitting it for ADA 07?
    I think you want to ID is the Timmika or Subwassertang. Quite interesting story on that. Some guy I bought from in Jakarta who got it from Papua New guinea. A place called Timmika. He sent it to some friends for ID'ing and it end up in Germany. The Germans end up calling it Subwassertang for the time being till it gets a proper name. Somewhere along the line some Hobbyist/trader in Sg also got some.
    I saw this at Bioplast last June-July when I was in Sg. Owner[don't know name] was cultivating it.

    ADA 2007-have to reverse engineer some roads with white sand! Probably let some of the plants grow a little more.

    I agree too few altums. Had 7 but 5 died of mysterious causes.
    Will be looking to replace them.

    Listen to you guys about the ferns and keep itchy fingers from touching it so that it will straighten out.

    Not easy to come by but I'll do my best. Looks good if they're 4-5 in height.

    56K warning!

    As promised, took some pix just now with a tripod! Looks a tad better...[limitation of the user and camera!]

    45 degree view of the tank

    microsorum pteropus narrow leaf. Move it a little and tinker with light and leaves grow out crooked!


    Close up of some corner with fish whizzing past!

    Can see the 'timmika' sandwiched by peacock at the back and Taiwan in front plus a don't remember what name fish in frame hiding.
