Planted SW tank

[Anonymous]

Has a planted SW tank ever been a featured aquarium? I tried to look through the last few ones, but I can't seem to find a list with all of them. Can someone who has been here a bit remember one?

Nope, a planted SW tank has never to my knowledge been a Featured Aquarium in Advanced Aquarist.

Send us one and we will feature it if it's good.

I know where a partialy planted reef is. ( Local LFS)
I will get some pics if they still have the plants. ( been a couple years).

How do I send it?

Maybe you guys can give me some pointers to make it worthy?

 

[FragMaster]

No pointers needed that looks GREAT!
More coral to even it out would look even better though.

I'm afraid to add too many inverts to keep the "planted" theme! Maybe a large toadstool leather right in the middle, just a bit off center?

 

[FragMaster]

That would be nice !! A nice Yellow one.

Actually, the one I have is a bit more pink...

What about a green sinularia?

 

[FragMaster]

Even better !
I apologize ! Idid not notice the mushrooms onthe left side of your tank until just now. LOL!!! ( IE needs more coral)
All that jumped out at me were the tubastrea's LOL!!

Yeah a green sinularia would look exceptionaly nice just behind that little penensula with the red macro on the tip ( just left of dead center in the foreground). Got any other small corals?
I think a small polyp rock or to well placed would look nice as wel.

Its your tank though man I personaly love it the way it is!
Dont let my ideas potentialy muck up your fine work in there.
The question was only if any one has ever produced a planted marine tank . Yours is definately planted. It definately took a lot of hard work, and placement to make it look that nice.
Post some more sectional pics of it so we can see whole tank closer if you wouldnt mind.

So not only did this not make the cut for Featured Aquarium but featured aquariums themselves have been cut altogether eh??? :?


What gives?


And FWIW, I'd like to see this planted tank featured too.

Wade takes care of all of our FA's for the magazine. Not sure why this never got forwarded to him...

FWIW, we seem to have interest from people about featuring their tanks in the magazine, but actually getting the manuscripts back from them along w/ photos doesn't always seem to pan out.

[email protected] is the address for FA submissions.

We haven't cut anything from the magazine, rather we've had very little interest in FA submissions. I've messaged/mailed a few people recently who have not responded, so we're running very shy on feature tanks.

If anyone sees or knows of a tank worthy of being featured, please forward them to me or let me know!

Wade

PS- Aerosmith you have a message.

Wow! You really did it! Thanks, Wade!

 

[wade1]

On the contrary, You did it!


Thank you for your submission, now hopefully millions of people will enjoy it.

If you can make friends with your local fish store, you might be able to persuade them to save them for you? That is how I got mine!
