The mindset behind the aquarium: One-on-one with Alex Franqui
On this very special episode of "The Tint", we sit down with Team Tannin's Alex Franqui, ridiculously talented aquairust, designer, and now, high-placing competitive 'scaper! Fresh off his 3rd place finish in the prestigious 2021 Aquatic Gardner's Association Aquascaping Contest, in which his pure botanical-style aquarium took 3rd in the Biotope category, Alex shares his mindset, experiences, and ideas which propel him forward as a hobbyist. His tank represents a major milestone in the mainstream appreciation of botanical-style aquairums! We talk about our favorite fishes, the concept, maintenance, and aesthetics of functionally aesthetic botanical-style aquariums. A fantastic episode with something for every fan of "The Tint" to enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-fellman/support
