[rixy]

here are some befores

and heres some pics after my move around tonight(thanks ferris )

which do you prefer?

 

[Lynz781]

I like the after . Did you just turn the wood on its side? It looks more like a background now. Nice shoal of barbs too.

But the question is and more importantly, which do you prefer?

 

[RadaR]

Woah! Now thats a proper piece of wood. Looks really good. Fish must be very happy.

Lynz781, it looks like another piece of wood.

 

[rixy]

yeah,its a 3ft liece of bogwood out of the garage,and yes,i prefer the after pics.now ive got 2 nice pieces of mopani wood spare(the wood in the before pics)

 

[jayjay]

Yeah, I prefer the after pictures as well, I like the wood you've used. I'm using more bogwood now, have a 20g full of it, still want more though.

So what is in the tank altogether? Tiger barbs, severums, delhezi, senegal?

 

[stang1]

Your tank looks great. I love that piece of bogwood.

 

[Ferris]

Looking great m8 (told you )

i just like a change every now and again ferris.i tryed to make myself like the minimalist look lol.i'm much happeir with the look now thanks for making me think about putting more bogwood in

 

[Tsi_User]

That wood is amazing, I'm scared to know how much it cost though

 

[rixy]

£45 for the large piece,£18 for the small piece(on the right hand side) and £18 for the bogwood with the 2 x java ferns on.ive owned the big piece for a year and the other 2 pieces for approx 6-7 months.i didnt buy any of them,i swapped them for loads of ocean rock at the lfs.

That is some special wood you got there, its hard to make a tank look bad with that wood in really, unless u add ships n stuff to it, and coloured gravel, apologies to anyone that has ships and coloured gravel.

 

[Loko17]

I like it, but you should add more plants IMO

 

[rixy]

trouble is,if i add more plants,the severums may eat them,or,the bichirs may dig them up.no,i think i'll keep it as it is.plenty of hiding places,but i can still see the fish.thanks for all the comments so far keep them coming good or bad.

Firsly, the tank look great - much better. I would imagine, it looks stunning for real & the picture doesn't do it justice.

This may sound odd, but all I can see (by the shape of the wood) is a large dead animal in the tank ! The wood on the right looks like a sheeps head & going back to the left is it's body with a leg in the air I'm absolutely, not meaning to offend you or the tank in any way - it's just what my eye see in there - but it still looks great !

If it was mine, I'd loose the right hand piece of wood, or change it's position.

Just my 2p's worth

 

[rixy]

yeah lol the piece of wood on the right hand side does look like a dead animals head.im pretty pleased with layout( not 100% though) so keep the comments coming.should i move any of the wood in the tank?what about adding some mopani wood from the 1st pics?im not going to add any more plants though.i've spent a fortune on plants over the years.they either go brown,or get nibbled,or get too big.dont worry bikerman03,this is a forum and i want peoples opinions good or bad.im 75% happy with how it looks.
