[Metalgearliquid2]

You want tips on bettering it's decoration? I would say ditch the colored gravel, and go with sand. I have several tanks, and I just switched to sand, and wow... the colors on the fish just POP.

I would maybe somehow get some things to hide in, and make caves.

I have a temp 30 gallon, and I have some PVC in there for hiding spots.

If you are switching in a few months, I would say add some hiding spots, but leave it as it is until you go bigger.

kinda foggy. do some water changes and use some carbon in your filter

yea i was thinking about sand for the larger tank

pvc that seems like a good idea it does seem like my rocks arent enough for them to hide in



i think my light is making it look cloudy its an actinic T5 and a 10,000 daylight T5 in one strip

i have sand in my tanks and the only downside is that they are harder to clean

I thought sand was eaiser to clean since all the crude lays on top????

I would reposition the white rock on the left before it falls and breaks your tank. If those are bamboo plants, you should know those are not true aquatic plants and will eventually die and rot in your tank if you keep them fully submerged.
