My Planted Shrimp Tank Journal

[5teady_2012]

Here is the full lot from start to finish...

Here is how it looked at first before i started doing anything to it..

--------------------------------------------------------------

Then i decided to add some more bits and bobs to it

--------------------------------------------------------------

After seeing a few shrimp tanks throughout the forum, i decided to do it out again and try to give them a better home and this is the next stage, too much moss and looked jammed to much,

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So then i deicided, let sort the bloody thing out and tidy it up and endup up with this..

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still i wasnt please so tonight, i decided to once again sort it out...


First i cleared it all out..

Next i added the two main pieces that was to be arranged around..

this one is the base for my main feature (my pride rock lol) the centre piece

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, to skip past the boring bits, here is the final outcome, im really happy with it and wont be changing it again..

The centre piece.. (pride rock)

The end

veery nice, looks much better ive got a feeling the 2 green stick stem type plants you have in there are non aquatic

 

[5teady_2012]

they have been in my tanks ages, they do really well.
