[connorlindeman27 27]

We have a winner in Tropical Fish Forums'
July Tank of the Month Contest

We had 4 awesome tanks entered in this month's TOTM contest.
It was a close contest, but only one could win...
And the winner is.......
@gwand


Let's all congratulate him​

This is one of my 20 gallon long black water tanks. It is home to a male A. cacatuoides and five juvenile offspring as well as 12 N. marginatus and 8 glowlight tetras. Pothos are growing hydroponically on the rim of the tank. A black sand substrate is planted with swords, anubias, cryptocornye and vallisineria. The tank is filter by a tidal 50 and AC 35. An Olushy 200 W heater keeps the tank at 79 degrees. Alder cones and almond leaves add tannins and a bronze color to the water.
