So today begun with me needing to do a good cleaning of the 55 gal, and ended up with me taking every single thing (except the fish) out of the tank and redoing the scape. I wanted to get some of the wood into better placement, and also to creat better hiding places for those that need them.

here is the new tank scape

wgat do you think, and what could I do to make it better
 
I think it's great. Looks very natural. I've got 2 suggestions. Maybe you won't like either, but I think they're worth considering. With an angel in there, I guess you've got fairly softish water, so how about a twig catfish for a bit of a novelty? Also, how about considering a floating plant for on the right hand side. Obviously, the tank doesn't NEED either, but they might be nice. See what you think. It looks great as it is though.
 
I thought it was a bit dark, so I switched the background around from black to blue but I haven't decided wheather I like it yet. As far a s a floating plant that would be cool but it would need to be hardy becuase I have some plant killers in this tank, any ideas?
 
looks a stunning tank.i'd have to agree.it looks a little dark plus you have 2 malawis mixed in with your other fish.your malawis will require a different set up to the rest of your fish(not moaning just trying to help lol)
 
TSI I use 2 55w bulbs in a shop light fixture

And I know about the cichlids but these have actually done really well so far




I changed up the back ground to the blue whis was this morning
