On Sunday November 14, 2010, Mark and I decided together that to better the future of PlantedBox.com and Mark Evans as an Aquascaper, PlantedBox.com needed to close its online shop. I've been involved in PlantedBox.com since day 1 when I first approached Mark with an idea and concept to...

Excellent, George! The replica rock is superb! :thumbup:

Re: "Prairie Lands"... more crypts!!! I tried the garden fence on Without Foundation :lol: I spent a good hour making and painting the damn thing and it looked silly :lol: :shh:

Re: "Prairie Lands"... trim no.1 :lol: Come on Bob! Let it grow bro! :thumbup:

No, don't be :) We all have to start somewhere, and the pics are helpful for others who are in the same boat :thumbup:

Re: my 7'x18"x18" malawi biotope Sweet :D Great car collection too :)
