About the Cover
The Artist at home. On this month’s cover, master aquascaper Takashi Amano shares with us his view of the 14-foot (4-meter) planted tank in his home in Niigata, Japan. Largely spearheaded by Mr. Amano, the current revolution in aquatic gardening is well demonstrated by his annual International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest (of which our own Editor-in-Chief David E. Boruchowitz is honored to be among the judges), and we are proud to present photographs of the top 12 winning aquascapes from the 2010 competition (p. 54).

Tip of the Month:
To protect valuable specimens, set up their tank with two heaters, each rated at half the required wattage. If one sticks on, the other will stay off, and the water will not overheat as much or as quickly.
