What's the point of aquascaping if you don't go for specifics?

the op said rules for "aquascaping" not "a planted tank"...

My favorite do would be: "Do break the rules when appropriate."

The problem is, you have to understand the reasons for the rules to know how to appropriately break them. That's what elevates it to an art form.

Nice list. Remember folks, that a rule that holds "for the most part" is a rule nonetheless.

cheers,
