Suggestions for my DYI modification to a comm 3D BG

[00rollins]

Know just have to make up my mind on an aquascape, think I like it less cluttered


The 2nd coat of resin is still drying in these pics, the sand drift will look better when the excess sand is vacuumed off.

Ok good input, wood was acctually all me in the 125 only one piece and all the fish seem to croud, wanted to go for a natural look with some java from my planted tank on the wood. But the zonatus and hartwegi seem to like to eat plants, the ate a few swords in the grow out tank. I like the open look in your tanks but I also wanted to cover the overflows. Lighting has been an issue as well want some bright lights to really show off there color but dont want the algie, I have a 40w uv I v been saving for this tank. Inoriginally went with the black for optimal coloration on the fish but been thinkin the natural sand might look better

Your setup is looking pretty shaweeeet, bro! lol! I agree with you going less cluttered on the aquascape, especially since your gonna have all those bad boys in the tank. Plus the background is taking up enough room. And good choice going with natural looking sand. Since the Zonatus and Hartwegi are going at the live plants try putting some plastic plants in there. My Zonatus and Hatwegi used to ignore my plastic plants after they figured out they where fake. I'd go with those plastic plants with the suction cups on them. I personally like the looks of the plastic Philodendron with the suction cups. The suction cups would allow you to attach the plants directly to the overflows and cover every inch of it, you won't even know it's there. Can't wait to see it all setup bro, so get to it.
