He should be able to help you as he posted a thread on it some time ago. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

I've now done it twice, see the step by step process here: http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Technical%20Tinkering/38674.html and here: http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Aquascaping/52910.html
