Wow, Jim, what a work of art. Down to the tiniest details (regularly planted shoots of grass, shortest plants in the fore, ...). Verrrry nice. Just got my bowfront and loving it too!
Here's mine, still waiting for new light so plant will grow and I can remove fake plants. You can look in the fish and tank photo board for more ideas and in the picture gallery
That boat looks so cool, Bonochick. Is it a background poster or is it a real ornament?
It's a real ornament, my boyfriend really wanted me to get it for the tank.I probably wouldn't have bought it if he hadn't been so insistent, but I'm glad we got it. It really adds to the tank, and the fish love it!

Armadillo, thank you. I never thought of it as being a work of art. I just followed some of the suggestions from Plantgeek and did what looked right. Good luck with your bowfront, I love mine. I think the base is VERY cool, I never saw one like it before, and knew immediately I had to own it.
Oh, it really looks great. I love the colours too. Must be a pain to clean, no? I always have trouble uprooting my plants when I vaccuum the gravel, and that's where the most waste is in general.
that 46g is one to be proud of Jim, I think i see the effects of chocolate lucky charms at work there.
well, to get back to pics - here's a newer one of our remaining platy fry. Poor little things have curved spines, but the fry were overall pretty unhealthy and had to be the result of inbreeding. Still they are platys and being so little but acting just like platys and now competing with the adults, they're a lot of fun to watch.
That is a really clear picture. I guess I need to make the step to macro to get such clear pics.
actually, i just took that with regular settings on my old olympus c4000. cropped it, fixed the color levels and added a little sharpness in photoshop.

It's impossible to get all of the algae off it, but my pleco does a pretty good job! The sails are impossible to clean though, since they are cloth. They aren't nearly as white as they were originally. It does look more realistic having dirty sails though.
i plan to one day start up a SW tank myself.. but it sounds like i'd need a LOT of money to do it.. i want to have a pair of clowns.. probably maroon or clarkii.. a couple anemone, a school or 2 of damsels and some fire fish.. and naturally plenty of live rock and live sand or crushed coral for the substrata. and i wonder - does high altitude affect SW tanks? like someone living in Denver or Salt Lake City - do they have to do anything special to maintain the specific gravity for their tank?
