Finally set up my 1200lt/300G Eel tank

Still cycling but I’m happy with the layout so far. Plants are temporary just to aid the cycle a bit as the nitrites are still high.

Most of the boulders and drift wood I scavenged from a seasonally dried creek close by.

Only issue I’m having is the curl or spider wood is not sinking and oozing a weird gel. And there were a few broken facade glass panels cracked when it was delivered and I didn’t have any kind of insurance as I did everything myself to reduce costs, a lesson I’m learning was not worth it.

The aquarium and aquascape looks great.

Cheers, first try at an actual planned hardscape. Next will be the plants but I’m so restricted were I am on choice.
