Incredible Aquascaping....

Now this is why I've been so intrigued by planted tanks. Check some of these aquascapes out. Might give you some new ideas.

Oh wow o_o Now that's some awesome growth going on there. I'm all about the Amano designs, so #14 really caught my interest ^^

That is just depressing...

I have no chance of getting anywhere close to what some of those people have done. I don't think I can deal with the amount of work, trial and error, and sheer frustration you have to deal with with tanks like that.

All those tanks do for me is make me want to go and get some rocks, pile them up, and fill my tanks with Mbunas. Good thing my GF will make sure we keep at least one or two planted tanks around...

Absolutely breathtaking! We are very fortunate to have someone of Travis's caliber in our forum. His tank is world class, right up there with Amano in my opinion. He is a very cool guy, you can ask him anything and he always gives you an informative quick response. I'm going to go look at my tanks and sulk a bit now!

I was surprised to see Travis' tank ranked #5. I don't think I've seen a better looking tank anywhere.....although I guess #5 in the world isn't too shabby.
