Re: [APD] Pruning the big tank



I didn't ask how does he prune. It was the guy before me.

I don't know why they brought the wood from the Amazon,
that's just what I read.

I belive this was a contract job and the size and space was
given -- Amano and his team did the rest.

Hard space to aquafy.

Cheers,
