then I come downstairs and see your stinky old tanks staring back at me and I run back up and move things around - again!

Guess I need to give myself a little time... But thanks for the inspiration and PLEASE post photos of the new tank ASAP!

Well, I can assure you that my first "aquascapes" were not ok.
I took the time to learn how plants grow, why they grow and what they need.
I too saw lot's of alien algae
Next step is to watch other peoples tanks and understand what to like or dislike. Very important are those tanks with "one good part" and "one bad part" in the same tank. Sometimes you see a beautiful right part and the left part is not so ok. The best tanks have balance from the right to the left.
Also understand the
"Golden Ratio" very well. It always give you a good gideline where to plant wood or plants.
If you're not familiar with this rule, I can give you an example, if you wish.

Photo's : o, yeah, but (tap,tap,tap) where's the new tank? I will make a phonecall tomorrow.
