Yes, I agree! (Mr. moon tends to fly off at times.......) I am just as
fascinated with Amanos tank layout and design Ideas as I am by what Moons
ditch tank looks like. How did they decide what to put where? I feel that
neither of them do this design thing in a random fashion........ Perhaps
it's just that the $ of the equipment clouds peoples minds with regards to
the fundamentals that create such aquascapes.
BTW, I never sure which address to contact you at..... Should I be
expecting a box of fish and plants this week? No shipment today! :(
