Hi everyone I am trying to upload some picture of my tank hopefully it will work its been planted less than a week so plenty of growing to do, any feedback welcome its my first tank so im learning all the time.

you can post it on photobucket, and copy the link.. i find that the easiest way to share.

If your using a phone to take pics then email the pic to yourself and it compresses itself so it can be uploaded directly to the site.

just a couple more pictures, if anyone has any advice or ideas would be good as I said before this is my first tank I liked the idea of the tree I have a bonsai tree at home so that gave me some ideas it took a while to get the rocks set out I started off with bigger lumps but that wasn't working so I smashed them up into smaller pieces and that seems to have worked im sure ill keep tweaking it see what grows and what doesn't, like I say any info would be appreciated

many thanks

I know it would be a bit of a PITA to do, but I would consider swapping out that gravel for some sand, for the benefit of your cories.
 
Your gravel is nice and smooth, but it's very coarse. Apart from that, I like it a lot

its funny you say that ive just been looking through some pictures and was thinking it would probably look better with sand or a much finer gravel, the gravel went in first before I knew which direction I was going to take it in, I might be moving the tank at some point in the near future so might do it then ill have to empty the water to do so.

Wow, I really like it!
 
Will look excellent once it has grown in!
 
Are you happy with it?
 
Like Fluttermoth said, sand would look great, and benefit the corys

hi yes I am happy with it theres things I would change if I do it again, its all starting to grow now so looking forward to what it will look like in a couple of months.

I would like to change the gravel at some point for sand or a much finer natural looking gravel will have to see how it goes
