This is great. Starts to look like a beautiful reef tank with lots of corals. 8) Never thought I can have that feeling with freshwater tank colors. :)

There's still a lot of time to the deadline but the scape looked ready - so I just finished shooting for IAPLC 2012:

I just Love these classical iwagumis. Very well done indeed. Great balance and triangle composition! :clap:

Thanks! Oh yes, it's such a thick carpet, it does not grow up, just gets more dense. In the 9-10 months we only had to trim once. No algae issues, no dying leaves, no maintenance needed. It is an absolute low-maintenance plant in the long run. Also very attractive. It definitely needs a...

Re: GA in-store display 120P Iwagumi - Fly above the giant c Why George? :D If he says he just hates all this since we opened for business then you're not gonna step foot into the Gallery not to scare your loved ones away from all this? :D Who wants to see a mad Hungarian behind his desk? :D...

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Iwawoody. Wow, impressive Mark :clap: (I just love the hardscape!) It will certainly be quite a setup. I do not see a problem with using a lot of plants as most of them here are carpeting or small growing ones. Using these together might help improve the natural look. Btw...

Cheers Mate, thanks! :angel: I'm actually starting to get some ideas to totally rescape this for next year's "go go go" ;) Problem is that it is in perfect shape and as Viktor said no maintenance is needed, so I'm a little sorry to rip down something that causes 0 trouble in the Gallery.

Tom, thanks on the Nerites suggestion for keeping the rocks clean. I've been toothbrushing them for 2-3 hours per occasion, back-pain starts to get an issue even with my good condition. :) Great and original idea on using wood as rocks in a composition. Requires special wood-shapes but if you...

Thank you Tom, your words mean a lot to me! :oops: Well, we respectfully choose to go the other way. ;) All our other planted tanks (there should be about 11 more at the moment in the Gallery and only 2 low-light) go high-tech, high-light and algae issues are minimal - almost non-existent. No...

Thanks Paulo, I finally got my letter too... :angel: Will post the images soon.

Oh Mark, sorry to hear that. I sure hope you're doing better by now.

Thanks a lot! Do you mean this plant? Then it is Hydrocotyle Sibthorpioides (Maritima). This one though is Hydrocotyle Verticillata. Lovely plants both.

A truly wonderful Nano, James. So difficult to properly scape these, you did a fantastic job. Congratulations.

A truly inspiring read indeed. Thanks Mark!
