Fake Deco Tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
That's an awesome little tank, bro! I really like how you set up the sunken ship scenery. i can homestly say I'm jealous, and I'm the biggest advocate against bright colored gravel. i might just have to copy you.
 
I think it wld be cool with tetras it will be like there search planes!!
 
Very nice...I'm definitely not a fan of like the bubble chests and fake divers, but tastefully done, themed tanks like this I love!

You might want to consider maybe siliconing a piece of plexi glass or some sort of divider in between the sand/gravel?

hmm imo that blue gravel and the ship ruined it. you should've done just the sand, then a 8'' ring of black sand/gravel in the middle, with the palm tree in the middle of that. it would've been awesome :D
i quite agree, i think it would look better if the island was made out of the coarser substrate. i like the ship though :D

Good luck keeping the sand out of the gravil once you've got an eel in there. I don't know how the fish will influence it, but I know that my fiddler crabs are always dragging sand into the rocky side of their beach tank.

maybe you could silicone the gravel together to make one flat piece of blue. or cut a piece of tile to size, cover it with silicone and then blue sand. consistence!

What you suggest then...real plants. I've had no luck with them and drift wood is nice but it's not cheap. JW

Well, ya.
No luck, its all about knowledge and understanding of simple conceptsl to easily grow plants. Thats what seperates the grown-ups from the kids just starting out. Or if thats not working for you, finding your own driftwood or rocks, and the carefull arrangement of them throughout the tank to create the perfect scene is all part of the hobby to me.
At least thats what I think when I see fake deco. No offense to anyone personally.
