    Looking good.

    My 2c - You might want to move those swords on the right to the back of the tank as they get huge. Also, have a look for a rock that matches your gravel better (in nature the "gravel" would be from weathering of the surrounding rocks). I have a chunk of black and white granite that would have been a perfect colour match.

    @Hawk i agree but we kinda went for a very crazy full look and the swords we want to full out that little area a bit of a test to see how the fish would use them

    but i always enjoy the comments and will look at some different things this was the first of many scapes and the next will be Co2ed and with black gravel without all the rocks and "stuff" haha with a bit more elegance but im enjoy watching how all the caves and coves are used by all the fish and how they seem to enjoy they "full" effect but thanks my friend hoping to get a few more ideas :)


    wish me luck

    Cool man. I got told the same thing when I started with swords but had never grown plants before so wasn't too stressed. I landed up buying about 6-8 of them which now take up the entire back of my 300l. I have already moved 2 to my new 135l and will reduce the number even further to give me a bit more room. My angels and corydoras love the swords for spawning on...

    I also plant with hidey holes and areas for the fish to explore and they love it.

    Enjoy the journey with your new tank.
