Robert.....nice avatar!

My first plate, so let me be happy and show off for a while

[GLITH]

love your awakening

[yschua]

wow.. your layout is getting better and better.. can't wait to see your 2012 tanks for iaplc..

[marle]

can you hold a planted aquascaping seminar in singapore? i think the guys here will pay to attend. Like a step by step guide takashi amano style. touching on topics such as lightings, scaping, EI, everything aquascaping.

[Stormy]

thank you guys.

@ yschua: there will be another 3-4 tanks for 2012, 2 is almost completed now and another 2 still in my mind.

@ marle: i'm not qualified to hold a seminar bro, not even a free one let alone charging. LOL. but it will be cool to meet up with some aquascaping kaki in Jb or Spore to share our experience, if there is such opportunity.

[barmby]

huh!??! you were once world number 4 ranked. how not to be qualified?

even smelly smelly...4th place can qualify for champions league leow..

[Thinthin]

I wish I have green fingers like yours. Envy. All your setup so nicey done. Professional, one word to descible.

[Stormy]

@ Colin: i may be #4 once, but what carry my works all these years are perhaps the passion for this hobby, a little bit of artistic sense and i dare to try different concept. in order to conduct a meaningful talk/seminar, i think the fundamental in aquascaping is important which i think i'm lacking. i still make silly mistakes and i think my layout skill is still not matured enough. i do not wish to just talk about how i love this hobby during the seminar and be very cliche by telling everyone to be creative and all. LOL. but anyway.....as i said, if there is an opportunity, i would love to share my experience with the AQ members.

@Thinthin: thank you but i'm still very far away from the real "professional".
and i just want to say that aquascaping is not about just having green fingers - growing healthy plants (that many people can do with the right knowledge). i would say if you have green fingers you are probably half way there (or less)....but there are still works to be done.

thank you all.

[K-hult]

Hi stormy, amazing designs, really inspiring. Was just wondering what types of rocks you used for the September tank setup and where you acquired them from, I'm from uk you see and were very limited as rocks go

[Stormy]

Thank you Edmund.

@ K-hult: the rocks from September were all self collected from the wild, although we have quite some rock choices here but sometime we will not be able to get the shape/color you want to match the ideal of your layout. In September, since the theme is "autumn', i was trying to use something that has the autumnal colors and i was lucky enough to find it somewhere in my neighborhood. be more adventurous and look around you, you may find something nice to use in your tank.

Thanks Stormy.. you are very kind : )
