  • That certain “something...”
    What makes a great aquascape? Cool materials? Talent? Effort? Well, sure- but that’s only part of it. Perhaps the most important part is something that we need to adopt in our minds.. a way of looking at stuff.. an attitude...a mental shift. A certain “something” that we can all adapt.

We often learn the hard way...And its sometimes just as painful to wean ourselves off of 'cheating" as it is when we suffer the fate which meets us when we try to "get away with it."
