Get a piece of styrofoam that's an inch or so thick. Use a torch to burn it to make rock shapes in then spray it. Looks good to and is kinda cheap.

or you could do Vinyl...I think there were some threads on how to do it on OVAS that looked pretty good.

X2 - cheap, looks great, several colours to work with,durable

Looking good, much better with a back ground.
Is the left front open space or is there a ground cover coming along?

Thanks bettabreeder!

Charlie:the front left is Covered with inviSible ground cover grass lol. I'll post a pic in a couple hours when the lights come on. It'll make sense then.

[wrm130]

The grass, unfortunately, blends really well with the substrate.

[charlie]

Is that Echinodorus tenellus ?

[wrm130]

I believe it is tenellus. Or so I've been told. Neat plant but it blends and doesn't pop very well

[charlie]

It would if you had a black cap, like black fluorite, sand, eco complete.
Regards
P.S when it takes off, keep me in mind

Def E. Tenellus! Maybe use another carpeting plant like HC or HM for a mixed carpet look? The green of either will def make the darker green/red of the tenellus pop. Liking the general look of the tank though!

2 reasons.

1. I hated my layout.
2. moving

I'm going to attempt to move a 40b with substrate and an inch of water.  Wish me luck

I read all this thread. Interesting.  Let us know how the move turns out.
