You said it... Just...

Stunning photos of your tanks. Love the detail of landscape, with relation to the fish you have in there. Awesome.

Though my favourite is the SW tank, it has a very natural look. Like a little capture of the ocean, in your living area. Just beauty.

Wow! Great creations!

tamalematt · 02-03-2010, 12:55 AM

teaparty · 02-04-2010, 04:51 PM

I like the planted marine a lot, too.

Hi George,

Loved each of those. Great work. As Shadow said, the planted marine was great. Could you share how you did that one- the plants used and was it complete marine or only brackish.

I remember reading an article by you some time back (cant remember where i read it) where you had said that if you want to go to marine tanks unlearn whatever you learn in planted freshwater. You sure did do a great mix of both. Help us out with the way you did that.

fishlover · 02-05-2010, 04:31 PM

They're all nice, but the biotopes (sumatran, tanganyikan, english, chinese, brackish and rio negro), as well as the saltwater planted, are AMAZING!!! You've made aquascapes out of setups that usually aren't considered as aquascapes, and that;s amazing!

Anupam · 02-06-2010, 09:53 PM

Wonderful scapes. The few plantless ones are very interesting as well and the marine scape is an outright winner. I was getting so bored of looking at wonderfully colorful but "fruitstand" layout for reef tanks.

And mostly quite interesting and un-cheesy titles for the tanks as well. That is a rarity
