Default Let's see Tank Pics OVER TIME

I don't know if such a thread exists, but how about "Tank pics over time?" In other words, "Here is the same tank in 2003, in 2006, in 2008, and last week."

I think it would interesting and educational; we could see what plants really do well LONG TERM in our vivs (in other words, we can all watch the Selaginella and Ficus pumila eventually smother the Sinningia pusilla and Jewel orchids ;-)

I suggest this because
:

1) It is interesting to see what plant varieties are truly long-lived (for example, I find that all Acanthaceae need a bit of grooming to stay attractive;

2) I am curious as to how long our setups can really go before the system may need help, or start breaking down.

Anyone down?

Thank him? I could kiss him!

Now that's what I'm talkin about--c'mon people!

Rollin: Any pleasant surprises or surprising disappointments? (I, for example, cannot grow Marantaceae in my tanks; they get brown edges. No &$@# idea why...)
