We have written a lot about the "mental shift" that we need to make as quarts when embracing this type of more natural "New Botanical"-style system. It's simply NOT the pristine, "uber-white-sand-and-scrupulously-clean-well-manicured-planted" 'scapes we've been indoctrinated to accept as "natural" over the past decade or two. It's not some sterile-looking artistic representation of nature. (not that there is ANYTHING wrong with that, of course, but I believe that the term "natural" is a slight overstepping of this definition).
Rather, the truly "natural" aquarium embraces the transitions and processes that occur when you introduce terrestrial materials into the aquatic environment, both to the materials themselves, and to the aquatic environment. This is exactly what has happened for eons in the rivers, streams, and lakes of the world.(click to read more)
