At first I was going to say I didn't like being able to see through the tank to the signage, but then I realized since I can read it it must be reflecting off a window that is in front of the tank. I like the big rocks and background, and the lighting looks neat too, but I don't see any fish

I'll give it a 7 but might just need better pics.


Rescaped my tank last night. Before pic from a few pages back:


After:



I really like it, more than any other scape in any of my tanks. It might be too many rocks for the moorii once they get bigger, but the labs and the multipuncs really like it right now

The rescape looks great! I like the height that the new set up gives the tank - feels less "empty". I give it a solid 7.

Here is mine - fish will be coming on Friday. I like the fullness of the tank, lots of hiding places and I think it's a pretty natural looking scape. What do you think?

Jarrods - Nice setup I would give it a 7.5. I like the split layout of half rock and shells, maybe try hiding the tubes(black ones)\heater more and I personally like the rocks not stacked that hight but its very nice.

Here is the latest redo to my setup. I just switched from mixed to black sand and gave up on live plants and switched back to fake silk ones.

Very nice!

I like it!
Personally i am more of a background kind of guy though.

8/10!

The Tank looks good, but I really like that Tycho Album Poster!!! Nice! I rate that a 10+.

[13razorbackfan]

Your light choice for that 3d background makes it pop. It looks very nice!

pic is a bit fuzzy phone camera sorry =p lol its a room divider-ish lol our living rooms a bit big so we have a little area for the dogs and a computer disk. (which does n good since the laptop is never there lol)

Is that a room-divider tank? I love using tanks as room dividers! They can be so difficult to decorate, though, since a background won't ever be an option.

Considering how happy your discus look, your tanks deserves a 7.
Are those your heaters that you placed low-down along each end? That's a good idea, hides them somewhat.

Perhaps some more, tall plants, like a spiral vallisneria? The driftwood is also very regularly spaced at 1/4 intervals. They are very nice pieces, though!

Alright, now here's my malawi work-in-progress (fair is fair ).

I give yours an 8. I like the river rocks and your light fixture, but I hate the green filter tubes. I was gonna get an eheim canister once, but the tubes threw me off. My brother has those same plants and he says his mbuna leave them alone, hornwort I think, right?

I give yours a 7. I like the simplicity. Here's mine

[Wspchef2001]

I love Texas holy rocks and bow front tanks for that I'll give it a 8. I like the stocking too. So here is my 29g CA tank.

3 Firemouths (juvis)
3 Peppered Cory's

Thanks Those green tubes... But the filter is just wonderful. I'm going to replace them with black tubes as soon as I can find ones that will work in a shop somewhere.

The plants are actually bacopa monnieri - don't ask me why the mbuna don't eat them, but they're clearly doing alright. I added the first one intending it to be salad within a couple of days. I've had hornwort before, the mbuna don't eat them - but if you don't like floating plants all over, they're not a good choice. They will find a way to rip them out of the substrate and move them.

The salousi tank is lovely!
