It is really cool to hear from so many hobbyists who are embarking on this new foray into the world of aquatic botanicals, blackwater, and a more natural aesthetic. And with all the neat pic of up-an-coming tanks and hearing about your exciting new projects, we get some interesting questions...and I realize that, even though people have been adding leaves and cones and seed pods and such to aquarium for years, no one really ever made the effort to aggregate the experience; to become a destination for the "state of the art", etc. in this arena. Well, we're happy to fill that role in what one of my (very critical, I might add) fishy friends reluctantly admitted is becoming (in his words) "a global movement."

One of the questions that we get a lot concerns the concept of water movement in a botanical-influenced aquarium- like, how much we need, what it does to these types of tanks, and what the best way to approach it is.(click to read more)
