That is one of the best if not the best backgrounds I have seen. Did you make it?

Rating the tank for SND here. I'll say 8, if the slate was a little better stacked i would have given you more. Heres mine, no fish yet, picking up a breeding group of 12 demasoni in 2 hours.

I would give a solid 8 for that, nice clean setup. Offwhite rocks really stands out against the dark substrate. Cheers !!!

Here is mine

I give 9 to Cerdik, very nice tank and nice background!

And 5 to parrotkeeper. Try to remove the background and replace some stones to give the tank simpler look - place only one kind of rocks, preferably some gray or other dark round stones and the tank will look much better! But thats only my opinion.

Here is my new fishtank, how do you like it?

^^^you guys have some sweet backgrounds and rocks to match....very impressive.

Vlad, gonna give you a solid 9.99 only reason for the deduction is the green intake tube.

It's a stunning tank!!! My rocks were very close to what you have untill the growth took over, which my Tropheus really like to munch on.

I will throw mine up there only because I moved a couple of rocks out. :lol:

Vladimir, I have to ask.... What are the two rocks in the front left that have a marbling to them?

All rocks in the tank are "Nero Ebano". But its hard to find some it the stores. Try some shops specialized in gardens and decorations.

Vlad - what JimA said re: green intake, otherwise excellent. Also I noticed those marbled rocks as well, I wish I can get my hand on them

JimA - I PM'd you a few months ago as I thought your setup was one of the most naturalistic tanks I've come across. I give a strong 9 because I preferred your previous rockscape, get them rocks back in there! post the your other photo too. Still a beauty.

And mine...

I give it an 8. You are in the same boat as i am, In need of a good 3D background. With that I think solids 9.5's
Here is my 125 freshly preped for my mixed alunocara which I should have in there in about 2 weeks, Ignore the dithers I have them in there to keep my bacteria up.

I like the feng shui, so ill give it an 8.

Here is mine. It's a room divider so there is no background on it. I've since added a new cave in the middle but this is the only pic of the whole tank i have right now...

It's hard to say because it's so dark, but I'll give it a 7. I like your choice of rocks, but they are a bit too organized, IMO. The fish from what I tell look to be gorgeous. I'd like to see them in some light.

Still work in progress. Picking up a new bulb this week, then my lighting will be done... for now.
It's, I'd say adequately filtered, but I'm going to work on overfiltering the heck out of it as the fish get bigger.
