Thank you It will look better once the cuba starts to carpet *crosses fingers*

I've redone my main tank, swapping the gravel out (bad nitrite problem ), Planted alot of HC cuba, replanted all old plants, added mini landscape rocks. What do you think?

I think it looks nice, unsure how it'll look all grown in tbh. Hopefully it'll turn into a lovely jungle

I would look at maybe moving the drift wood , the top of it is creating a focal point that feels slightly uneasy. The individual componants look lovely (really like the gravel! what is it?) but there is a slight lack of direction to it.

Obviously, this is my opinion. It is FARRR better than some tanks I have seen, and if you are happy with it and enjoy watching it, then that's all that matters

Thanks for the comment I see what you mean I've moved it backward, new pic in first post. The gravel is fine black gravel from pets at home, very nice quality

That looks a bit better, If you are going for a jungle feel then this'll work nicely, the hardscape is a bit more subdued now, you just have to keep the plants sorted to work with it

Personally, I prefer hardscape focal points supported by plants, but it didn't suit your tank... no idea why!haha

I really don't like how I sound in this thread, I'm nitpicking, it really is a lovely tank Just picking on a few minor details, if you get me?

No your not nitpicking this is the sort of opinions I was after, I know it takes more than one view to make something as good as it can be. Much appreciated

Looks good, have to say due to the perspective I'd have used thinner stems behind the rock, such as Rotala.

Lovely Ross!

Thanks yer I agree the stems look a little big but hopefully after the other plants are grown in it will match. Any tips on trimming them down?

Lovely Ross!

Thank you!

I meant to comment last night but was busy... If that carpet works out, its going to be really lovely. I kind of like the larger stems in the back.
