He has such a way with aquariums, at least there is a special place for him in heaven now.

At least he was at his home when he passed.

RIP. He will surely be missed by the community.

Yes, he pretty much single-handedly built the high-tech planted tank industry.  His work was certainly beautiful to look at.

Sorry it didn't, I meant to highlight a particular video of him doing a tank.

I've watched many of his videos. As was said earlier, he will be missed by many. Love his work.

I've seen pics of his work before.  They're always at the top of the newest forum my nemesis puts up.  I never new the name of the artist before, but now I can recognize his work.  I'm sorry that he died.  He was likely a solitary man and didn't go to a hospital for treatment.  Artists can be that way.  At least he died at home.  Perhaps he knows that his work was loved by many of us.

Thanks Jon for the pictures of his tanks and him.
