Looking good Mark, but isnt it periously close to the close? Im sure you've left enough room to get in and out :lol:

markandhisfish · Oct 4, 2008

do you mean close to the door? its difficult to get the perspective with the pic. yes it is quite close but it looks coser then it is in the pic. door still opens ..... welll about 80% of the way :hyper:

Mangrove root. It's a type of tree that loves the water and puts down those long twisting roots through the water. Makes a great looking piece of wood for an aquarium.

the mangrove root it artificial from zooplus . you cant see from the pic as i have turned it round but it had 2 branches broken off when it was deliverd hope to have replacement soon

deciding on the stocking for ths tank is doing my head in!!! :crazy:

just when i think i know what i want i chnge my mind! wanted a tank with lots of options and now i seem to want to do all of them. even tho im trying to move away from fish under 4" i just looked at it and thought hmmmm about 100 cardinal tetras would look pretty spectacular too.
