My Tank Progression

[wei0204]

I like almost all the scaping. Very interesting in seeing a frequently rescaping tank. The plants pearl so heavily and they look lush. The fish are lovely...

I just recently purchase another nutrafin natural plant system with the bubble ladder so now I have two, hopefully it will help a little bit with getting my tank consistent levels of CO2(I know I should go pressurized, but i'm waiting and looking for a bargain right now..lol). Also did some trimming today and ended up doing a little aquascaping..so here's a pic from today..

I also added gravel on the backside of my tank and accidently created a path, looks pretty cool for something I did not intend to do...haha

Another shot of the tank

Looking slightly from below...

I personally prefer the previous scaping. The lastest scaping is alright but the white sand part is a bit distractive. Just my opinion.

Definately one of the leader of fishes. Very inspirational G Sharky

thanks guys....It's not actually white sand it's gravel and I don't have a good camera or good photography skills thats why it's so bright....lol...I was looking for the same colour gravel in my LFS, but they don't have the same one that's in the tank before....I'm hoping the glosso would take over that part and cover it...

02/16/07....yet another update..I've been sick the whole week and unable to get out of the house so I turned my boredom to my tank...The rockwork on my cichlid tank has been collapsing due to the digging of some fish especially my frontosa and decided to fix the rockscape..After removing all the rocks I discovered that my pair of julichromis ornatus had spawn and there are little frys about 1" big has survived from hiding from the rocks, but before I could scoop them out I was beaten by my fast moving peacocks...I feel so bad..Any was I took a couple of rocks on my cichlid tank and rescape my 20 gallon...I've never used rocks before in any of my scape, but here's my first....
today:

different angle:

I put the bogwood with the java fern along wit the ruben sword and the crypt on my 20 gallon saulosi tank....I don't know how long they will live in this tank since it has low light/no ferts

Since I'm posting pics might as well show u guys my 75 gallon

Did a few aquascapes and here are the newest pics....
added some new plants on the right side E. tenellus and the right Blyxa japonica

Yesterday I went to my LFS and bought some new plants and decided to get rid of the hairgrass and fill the back..On the right is the bacopa carolianna, middle plant is H. Hottoniiflora, and rotala sp. green...here's the pic as of now and I'm going to let everything take off until I make changes....this pic don't do the tank justice due to bad camera/bad photography skills

Heres the left over tank...instead of tossing the plants away I put it on to my saulosi tank....
