Tank build after swap meet

[76brian]

This is not on topic but it's my thread so

I picked up enough stuff at the swap meet yesterday to put this together. I did buy a few extra plants today as well. I am much happier with how this looks compared to my other disaster. I think its because of the substrate, sand is SOOO much nicer to plant in than flourite.

...thanks for the new thread, I didn't think it was worthy of its own

Here's an update

That looks really good. I like it

Looking good, be patient and your plants will fill in in time.
You could always try a background and that would hide your filter box,
as well as make the inside view pop.

Thanks folks

Yup I plan on doing a dark background, and I want some carpeting type plants too.

This is low light though, a 24" 17w T8, over a 30" 20 gal tank. I'll probably add a 20w CF plant bulb in a desk lamp or something.

Looks nice.. I rmb that tree stump DW For lowlight, I'd say the dwarf sag. would be best. You looks like you got some there. It'll send runners soon enough and will cover the area well

What you see is chain sword... I think... from the pics, it could be dwarf sag though. I'll have to take a close up pic for positive ID later.

Did you get it from the Swap meet too?

[76brian]

Yup!
