The filter behind has another 1/3 the volume of water!!! Let me load up a pic of behind the Amano tank 2morrow.
One HUGE tank. Good choice of slow growing shade plants.

wow, that is much bigger than I thought. Nearly as big as Horst Kapper's (the founder of Dupla) in the 1970's. The Dupla founder's planted tank measured 12000 litres with 42 metres of heating cable through the gravel. I am sure Amano could get away with alot less lighting than that if he was growing low light plants. Check out Manly Aqauriums tank which is quite similar but smaller at 3456 litres and only runs on 4 x 150w MH.

Thanks Pro. I couldn't remember where I had seen the article on that tank. What a piece of work.
I've seen the tank at Manly Aquariums and it is fairly impressive too. Supposedly cost around 20k
