About the Cover
The classic but timeless beauty of a Takashi Amano Nature Aquarium aquascape has been the inspiration for countless aquarists around the world. At first many hobbyists saw his creations as unattainable ideals, but because Mr. Amano graciously shares his expertise and artistic insights, today more and more aquatic gardeners are following his lead and producing enviable works of art. We at TFH are proud of the role we have played, and continue to play, in furthering the planted tank hobby, an effort highlighted by Mr. Amano’s exclusive monthly article series, focusing this month on techniques for creating stunning driftwood-based planted aquascapes (p. 56).

Tip of the Month:
Plug your filter and heater into a power strip separate from your lights. Then, when you go to drain the tank to change water, you can shut off the filter and heater, preventing damage due to low water, but still have the lights to see to properly vacuum the gravel.
