The tank is f'd. I lowered the light duration to 6 hours and cranked up the C02. I might be able to pull it off. Terribly disappointed. I was so excited about actually entering this contest. Dutch aquascaping is the greatest thing ever.

The thing is, in about 2 wks this tank will be spectacular. :(

Once you go Dutch you can't stop trimming.

Yeah, welcome to the wonderful world of Dutch tanks.
Sorry to hear about the outbreak. You still need to post pics when you think it's ready.

Cheers.

Thanks. Here is a pic of the mess. It will be a few weeks before it's ready.

It looks nice Franny but not as thick and jungle like as I would have thought but it looks clean and well groomed to me. Don't the photos have to be in tonight before midnight?
Sincerely,
Tim

I think it looks real nice. I can tell all the work you've put into it.

OK, I'm confused a usual, but it still looks great! What size tank are you using for your entry?

I was planning on using this tank...the 120 but it is overun with thread algae. Therefore, I haven't a tank to enter. The 40 brder got destroyed by the greenwater outbreak. Therefore, I haven't a tank to enter. I was planning on entering those two.
