very good

So nice, will you apply the ADA 2005 contest???

so cool,

COOL!!

Hi there folks.

Thanks for the comments.
Leo, I havn´t thought on that. It has never been my goal because ADA contest has a level so high that I just don´t feel up to it. What i´m planning to do with this tank is to compete in a local event that is taking place here in Portugal next week ( 19 and 20 th March) that celebrates the second anniversary of the number one portuguese forum ( about aquariums) in wich Mr. Takashi Amano has been invited and will give a workshop and be part of the planted tank contest juri. After that i´ll give more thoughts into participating with this tank in ADA contest.

Regards,

André

Hey Andre,

Do you got your idea out of HERE?
I could see some similarities
But yours looks raw~
different plants brings out different feeling~
