I liked it before....




Only joking looks loads better bud, fish look great too. What do you have in there?

Id just push the rock into the sand more, so it doesn't look like its sat on top of it so much.

nice!

I like the fake rock. Bet it wasn't cheap though? They are anywhere between £30 - £50 when I've seen them locally.

Not sure how much the Rock was as it came with the tank along with 2x large ships and some plastic plants. not sure what to do with the ships as i don't think im going to use them again and they take up storage space.

Nice tank, ive just done my tank now with sand and look a lot better. Lokks ok with the plastic plants but any plans for switching it with real ones?

Hi Steve,

All the plants apart from the ones attached to the rock are real ones, not sure how long there going to last through. First time keeping real plants.

The amazon swords jammed in the corners wont be getting the light they need with the leaves tightly packed together like they are, best moved towards the middle a bit, let the leaves lay naturally.

Also you need to seperate out the vallis stems a few inches appart, in a tight bunch like that they wont grow as well as they could do.

Its looking 10 times better than it did, good work

very nice mate

Some small changes:

Thinking i need more substrate for the real plants.
