I'm glad someone else asked this question! I, too, wonder when I see an aquascaped tank such as this with sparse plantings, how do you avoid a mess of algae? It is more than I have been able to do even packing the tank with plants, so I can't imagine succeeding with this type of planting. I want to learn how it is done.

If I were to try such an aquascape, I would first establish the tank with lots of fast growing stem plants, then gradually switch it to this style of planting. But, by then I would have experienced every variety of algae known to man.
