Hi guys,

Can peeps post up some shots of their tanks....

I'm after some ideas for the aquascaping in my new 120-litre L134 species tank

Any input would be much appreciated

Cheers,

Andy

A slightly older photo of my set up. I have changed it a little over the past few months but nothing drastic...

Cheers for that Doc

Was thinking of something along those lines.....

Might try and have a split level set-up, with half the substrate being a couple of inches higher than the rest, held back with a large piece of slate.

Have opted for the 'fine gravel' as a substrate, as I've never used sand before, and I'm a bit cautious after reading different articles etc.

As for the caves, I've already made some pvc tubes covered with gravel, which my BN plecs have used for breeding already. So I'll make a few more of those I think. Coating them with silicone and then gravel, reduces the 'white-tubing-in-your-tank' effect !!!

I just love the tiny little black and white rocks

I think maybe I'll get rid of all but a handfull of the sand in my tanbk, since you guys seem not to use it. I've heard that can be troublesome though- resting on a smooth surface covered with bacteria as opposed to resting ona rougher surface covered with bacteria- oh never mind I'm not making sense.
