Very well stated Phil, on both paragraphs.  I suspect that from the
standpoint of good TV, it would be more interesting to have someone
aquascape an aquarium in the home, returning a few times a couple weeks and
months later to show the aweseomeness that ultimately results. (I've stated
before that I wanted to do a video series like this at one point... 
more akin to "extreme fishroom makeover" than iron chef.)

be a good way to get people aware of the organization so we can show them
how easy it really is to have such an "extreme"(ly beautiful) aquarium in
their home too.
