[ginceng102]

Hi! i'm planning to give a theme to my tank. i thought of a beach/beach resort theme. im not that creative. any suggestions what to put? i have 15 gal. tank, white sand, plants, 2 big rocks, and a coconut cave.

How about a Tropical/Desert Island theme, you could stack up rocks offset at the back to give the illusion of a cliff with a few plants & mosses in the crevices, fill in the rest of the background with lush plants & coconut hut. On the sandy foreground you could have 2 or 3 stylized windswept palm trees using branches sticking out of the sand at different angles with Xmas/Tiwan or Spiky moss tied to the tops! Smaller twigs laying around as driftwood.

Keep it natural or if you fancy kitsch have the bubbling treasure chest & shipwreck or Mermaid sunning herself on the beach. Its your tank. "The Worlds Your Lobster"
