Hi Together

Background, furniture and filtration are selfmade

Nice build Thomas! Those bichirs are beautiful

Thanks, I've tried to focus on Wood and stones, but a little visual barrier was necessary



maybe i'll replace the Vallisneria with Microsorum because of the less light

Very nice job on the background and rock/wood set up in the tank. The fish do look great! Nice job!

Wow! That looks great! Super natural looking as well. Very nicely done sir.

Thanks a lot

Looks great.. the val should/will be fine with Low light. I had a broken light fixture for over a month and my val was the only plant that did well with just ambient light.

GREAT SETUP! Love the background and the décor. The flood light looks amazing in the tank. I'm not a fan of most DIY backgrounds or flood lights but this one is the exception

That really does look amazing! I have been saving some styrofoam to do something similar in my 180 gal turtle tank. Could you list how you did it and materials used?
