It's been a while coming, so thought I'd post a journal entry for my first high tech aquascape. The first step was to build a suitable stand. For more info on that experience, check out this thread.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with how it's turning out I designed the aquascape to be viewed from the front, as well as the right side, as the right side is what is seen when walking past or into this room.
