Thanks Leah.

Doug I enjoyed my visit with you, especially giving your "butt" a kick I'm glad we got the tank aquascaped, however it's kind of you to say my skills (at least when it come to aquascaping ) are up to par when I know I suck at it! Good thing you have mad aquascaping skills, I really like how the rock's set up, now get on those pic.'s so everyone else can see

I came really close to getting over there but I had too much going on whenever it made sense to visit. I'm going to make sure I see version 2. Even if it means crouching outside in the bushes one night.

New scape looks bangin' man. Considering where you work that tank will be splashed with colour in NO time. V2 is ALIVE!!

Well at least you used my "bottom" well

You should take a full tank shot so everyone can get the full effect of how cool the new scape is.

Just think man.. This time next year you will be WELL on your way back to glory, and you will have fun getting there.

We should grab a beer and catch up!
Your right......the rock in V1 was really open when I started the tank.......didnt look so open towards the end....we should have a couple honey browns sometime
