Aquariums of George and Karla Booth

George has kindly provided me with a set of prints of their planted tanks. Anything quoted comes directly from the comments George made on the back of the original prints. Otherwise, they are my own comments, added to fill space. :) Really nice pictures are marked with an (*), and high quality photo-CD transfers are indicated appropriately.
