On first trimming, let stem plants grow to the top, and then trim to halfway point.

Amano believes that when you first plant a tank you should not touch it until any stem plants grow to the top of the tank (leaves at the surface of the water). At that time, and not before, you perform your 1st trim, where you give it hard trim - cutting your stem plants down to 1/2 their height.

That's the same tank. Just a different perspective and a lot more growth.

Niigata 2005 - Takashi Amanos home tank - Photo Gallery by Oliver Knott the aqua creator at pbase.com



Love Google.

I'm very little, and I would kill that beautiful aquascape if I SCUBA'd in that.
I believe, to clean that, you would need Go-Go-Gadget arms.
