Hello everyone,
I have seached the web for aquascaping.........with no previal! Is there any good site that break it down into lame-mans terms?? I have planted 60 gallon tank for my Gouramies.............does not look as good as Pammy's (actually nowhere near)...............what an awesome setup! I mean I am not after any contests er anything just for after a long day of overhauling jet engines I can sit back and lose myself in it and unwind. I have planned on using seamchem flourite and onyx and lighting from AHsupply..........already have a DIY C02. Thanx............Rob

for a basic layout and then look around the rest of the site for other tips.

Good to hear more aviation people are Discus/plant freeks

I have a 55g with 5 discus, a cory cat and a pleco.

I also have a thing for DC 9s.

You don't need to use both flourite and onyx - use one or the other. From what I have read, flourite is suppose to look better under water.

For aquascaping, check your local library or LFS for books from amano. Also go here to see some really cool landscapes from:
http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org/
This should give you a few ideas.
