Well this tank is finally up and running and stable. Houses: 3 congo tetras, 4 albino cories, one tiny BN, pair of cockatoo dwarf cichlids and a pair of borelli dwarf cichlids. More to come. All plants are real, low-tech varieties. Rocks from Lake Tahoe in California. Sand is silica sand from Home Depot. The branch is manzanita from the woods out back (dead and cleaned). And a small piece of driftwood from the Puget Sound in Washington State. Here is the pic. Comments on arrangements, especially for the hardware, are most welcome.

I don't think it looks amazing, I think it looks pretty good but in my opinion just needs some more plants. I like the rocks and the twig set-up.
 
I think it will look amazing once the plants fill in. Good job I'm sure the Apistogramma love it.
 
I'm on the roller coaster of "amazing"...first it is, then it isn't, then it may be :lol:
No really glad for all your comments. Any comments on hardware placement? I just really don't know how to position it so it is less conspicuous and still does the job. I guess the plants will cover them up someday. I will work on more plantings.
 
If you fancy a challenge you could try attaching some flame moss to your nice bit of twiggy wood. That'd look really nice, and might help hide the intake a bit aswell :good:
Nice tank btw! Guna look really good when the plants fill out a bit and if you get some more.
