Thanks! I'm working on uploading a video I'll share too I think photos just don't do it justice - there is a lot going on!
I love the background on yours, I wanted to do something like that but I've already got the overflow and the return set up to where it is about impossible to add anything else, or give up any of the room. I'm jealous too, I wish I had a discus tank!
thats yea looking at the pic its blurry and you cant see anything real well but i tried lol a vid would be great! is that another tank i see in the corner? left hand side =p you should put that one up too =]
I've always been a fan of a sand substrate but could never get it look how i wanted. Love the rock selection and especially love the fish! I give it a solid 8.
As you can see i once had sand in my tank but put gravel on top of it.
Im not really fan of gravel either but IMO it goes with my setup. And no the plants are not real. i tried to place them in such a way that they would look kinda natural though.
Im not gonna rate your tank....but i like the idea you have. I like the sand and the rocks. I would suggest maybe stacking them higher, but thats just IMO.
I do have more, but they usually get moved around every other month or so, so I don't bother trying to set up a perfect aquascape. I just throw them in there mostly. Usually I find that the higher I stack the pile, the less and less natural it looks. Also, less rocks means I have less to move when trying to dig out those holding females :fish:
Good Point! It took me 2 months of moving rocks to get my tank the way it looks. I dont have a large bio load so i typically just siphon out water and replace it. (leaving gravel alone)
