Looks nice but a blckwater tank would look better

Lol that’s a thought

Great looking tank, what lights do you use?

Looks great, I've always wanted to keep altums or leopoldi. but never had the right water type.
Sometimes you eat the bar, sometimes...the bar it eats you.

I have kept all three and many strains and variants of scalare.
I love altums but found the leopoldi's the most fascinating.
I love the pothos roots and that huge flat stone in the tank.

Just some beamswork leds gonna switch to some 30w led floodlights creates more of a natural shimmer

This is probably my first big go round with altums, had scalare many times, although I’ve never kept Leopoldi. this time I had an empty 180 sitting around already had everything I wanted in my 480 and 450 said why not lol need all aspects of the hobby monsters and peaceful alike

with tanks like these you just have to wait. If those plants start growing. There will be lot of roots and it will look really cool.

Well cared for altums become pretty monster and definitely don't disappoint. Look forward to watching your tank mature.
