They are just UNREAL! I've just set up my first freshwater trop. tank and have used fake plants for learning purposes. Eventually I'd love to convert it into a planted tank. I'm fancinated by the tank set ups in the pictures - they're all full to the brim. Looks awesome.

Wow, I wish I could make our tank look like that. Ours looks so amatuer in comparison

LOL, that's because most of them are done by Takashi Amano (his gallery, and the ones from the Nature Aquarium Gallery at least), and ADA (or Aqua Design Amano) is the company he is involved with. For those of you who don't see the significance of this, Takashi Amano is basically considered THE master of planted aquariums. He's written many books, and is virtually worshiped by aquatic plant specialists. Over his career he has invented different styles of aquascaping, many of which are the basis for the tanks you see pictured in any planted tank competitions across the world. The man is pretty much a living legend of the industry :)

It's just so unreal. I understand why he is considered a legend. I hope I can one day even have a quarter of his talent.
