This is old news for most San Franciscans, but I live in San Jose, so
it's taken me 18 months in the hobby to achieve planted aquaria nivrana.

I am referring to a visit to Ocean Aquarium. It's a hole-in-the-wall
store on an alley off Geary street, with maybe 60 tanks along the walls
and lots of clutter in the isles (including a dog, a rabbit, a
chinchilla and some turtles). But EVERY SINGLE TANK IS PLANTED!!

Words fail me. If you live within 100 miles of San Francisco, or even
further, just go. You won't regret it. Plant delivery day is Thursday,
BTW. That's the day I went...
