Rick Dotson’s setup

[Ghazanfar Ghori]

Here are a few pics I took of Rick's setup while
I was over there for a board meeting a couple
of weeks ago. BTW - this is after he trimmed a lot
of stuff back.

Beautiful tank Rick.

When you scape the tank a little bit, it should look perfect.

Ghazanfar your pictures are awesome. My tank has never looked so good! My pics always turn out looking bad. I will try to post the specs soon. There are some issues to keeping the terr. plants mostly relating to humidity.

I bought the pitcher plant at a going out of business sale for $12. It is a low land Nepenthes. I don't know what variety it is. It is a very good grower. I have had to cut is back serverly twice in the last four years. Most carnivorous plants have dormant periods and need a cold snap to prosper. I have had good luck with several tropical varieties, although those tend to need full sun and even with two 175 watt metal halids they suffer.

Anybody that whats to stop by is welcome. Give me an email a few days ahead of time so I can be home.

Thanks for taking these picutes Ghazanfar.

You are the man!
