Wow,

Your tank looks great! The pic even turned out real nice. You will have to have a meeting at your place to show it off.

Thanks Rick! We'll have to sit down and talk about hosting a meeting sometime. I'm planning on setting up another tank sometime soon. Maybe after that. Anyways... Thanks for the comments!

Kris,

Think it looks great. We are our own worse critics when it comes to these tanks.

Looking good Kris, and you are welcome.   <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0">

Thanks guys! Gnatster, I'm definitely my own worst critic... But that said, I often find an entirely new angle to look at things, if someone rips one of my designs. (I actually welcome harsh critics!) But, of course, it's hard to judge a tank by a picture. I guess I'll just have to host a meeting sometime to get all of my criticism. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0">

Looking pretty good. Give the rotala a haircut to
encourage bushy growth. We'll have to see you tanks
in person.

[krisw]

I don't have any rotala... I think the picture makes it hard to see, but I believe you are looking at the anacharis. I'm pretty sure that doesn't get bushy... However, I've never really loved the anacharis to begin with. Rotala might be a better alternative. Thanks!

Very nice, I like the use of the rocks in the front. Is your background blue or is that the wall? you might want to make it black (personal preference). nevertheless, your plants and 'scape are definately looking good.   <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0">

[krisw]

Yeah... It's blue right now, from when I had different colored substrate/rocks in there. It's on my todo list to change, but I've been too lazy. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0">

Anyhow, thanks for the comments! The Onyx sand and slate match perfectly! I was very happy when I found this out. Thanks again!
