    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.

    Cool. Wonder what is the foreground plant they used in the South American biotope.

    Am I right to say that in a biotope, there's only very few species of plants/fish. Too much of one or the other will make it look like a community tank or a normal aquatic garden.

    Hmm, for sculpting..could it be concrete? might be hard to mould it though...looks like styrofoam..
    man...did he like, cut a tree in half? Looks like he used putty to stick the roots on to the bottom.
    Does putty affect water chemistry? i'm quite sure concrete and styrofoam dosen't.

    Hmm..in the last picture, he looks like he's bending metal to aquire the desired shape with a hand torch,with some foam/styrofoam/thing. I noticed his face squirming up, you know, when you smell smething bad, your face squirms up, or from the heat...and the foam/styrofoam/thing was abit brownish on the top, like burnt marks..
