What do you guys think of Amano and his approach to the hobby. I

find my enthusiasm for planted tanks dipping I just leaf through some

what about you guys?


I love his aquascapes! Whenever I set up a new tank, I leaf through
his books for inspiration. I'm not sure I would want all the light
and fish he puts in his tanks, but I love doing similar aquascapes
with classic lower light plants.

Me too, the problem I have is while I can get the plants growing for a
while eventually the tank begins to look a bit rubbish. Its the long
term maintenance I have the biggest problem with, most of my tanks last
a few months before needing a revamp.
