I ran across this page of planted tanks while browsing other forums. Every one of them made me drool with jealousy... haha

Wow. Thanks for that link. Those are just beyond believable! 58* is my favorite; it makes me think I can step into the tank and go for a walk in the forest next to the fish.

Wow, those are incredible. What is the stuff that looks like mossy grass? Can it be grown in a typical tank?

I know this is a little late but thanks... it was very cool to see tanks that are really that beautiful... Must be very expensive to do all that.

This has always been one of, if not THE, favorite of mine from the AGA contest - http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.or...=0&vol=2&id=66 I was fortunate to see this tank in person years ago and its what really jump started my discus kick.

My favorite from this year, brilliant design. Who was that, that wanted a LOTR themed tank? Its a 5gal too if you can believe it! http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.or...=0&vol=0&id=87

Those tanks make me feel incompetent as a fishkeeper. Anyone else feel that way?

As a matter of fact............yes !!!

hud316

Superb stuff

I guess looking after them must be a full time job though...something to work on when I reach retirement....a long long way away yet

Haha, well thats what 7 WPGs, 20 lbs of Presurized Co2, and $300 of plants does for you. Sick tanks none the less.

aquarist48

Good morning. Sick tanks Crimson? Is that supposed to mean something good?
Ken

Crimsonbull57
