Oh God, It Will Drive Me Insane...

I just can't decide how to place the wood and plants in my tank.

I keep getting it one way, think it looks good and then later think it looks cramped. Or then it looks messy. Or then it looks too empty...

I get completely obsessed and waste most of my weekends trying to figure out how to arrange my tank. I just can't help myself.

The only bit that I don't get tempted to change is the center arrangement...

Anyone else have this problem?

I'm the same. I sometimes go sycho because it's not perfect. Right now my tank is either good, cramped, not enough plants, or something. I can't decide!

YEP!!! I'm having the same problem with my low tech setup, just cant decide where to put the wood, plus there's something missing

Well, tomorrow am off to the LFS early in the morning, get some established plants (not the cuttings and crap I get from internet orders) take most stuff out of tank and try and get it right...

Well, I actually don't have real plants. I meant just moving around everything.

Where are you? I actually find that my internet plant provider ships excellent plants.

But I definitely hear your pain regarding tank arrangements. I'm never satisfied with mine either. Good luck!

I have the same problem mate. I've got three pieces of bogwood in an empty tank right now on constant rotation, I still haven't found the idea combination and to be honest I don't think I ever will! However at least you can say you're thinking about things a bit more than shoving a bit of bogwood in there, building a stonehenge-esq structure from pink rocks and maybe adding a bubbling treasure chest and roman ruins.....
