My 280L Project

[rebe]

Hi all, I thought that it would be nice to create a dedicated thread for my new 280L tank. I've had the tank for a long time, but things are moving now and progress is being made. Here's what I've got so far:

Mangle wood, beach stones and play sand

All of the plants ready for planting

Holy plants!

The tank is planted, tada!
It's roughly resembling two parts of a river. The open river bed at the left side, most of the plants will grow much taller. Then there's the forest river bank with ferns, moss, and botanicals on the right side.

I love this cave-like area here particularly, (above the stone in the centre of the image)

I assume that a tank can only be entered in a TOTM contest once? My newly planted 280L looks lovely to me, but if I can only enter it once then I'll wait until the plants are grown in and the tank is more stocked?
