i have a 20 gallon long aquarium and im not exactly sure how i want to do the deco and gravel and stuff in it. so can people post pictures of there smaller setups so i can get an idea of how i want to do the tank. or even bigger tanks so i can just deco like that on a smaller scale. i was thinking more natural (fake driftwood and fake plants and resin rock) but i just want ideas on how to do it. i want to get a background too, but im not sure which design to get to make it look the best. i know i want to have a fake planted driftwood piece in the middle with a small bubble wall behind it so the bubbles look like they are coming from the wood but the bubble wall is also hidden. but yea lol can i see some setups to get a better idea to decide what i wanna do. right now all i have is ugly white gravel (too bright) and 2 plants and a 3" diameter PVC pipe elbow for hiding so my tank is ugly right now.
 
This would probably go better in photo gallery or general aquarium. If you go to the photo gallery there are a lot of tank pics.
 
if you don't want to waste your white gravel, you can mix it with some grey and then some black gravel for a medley of subdued rock hues. kind of a neat look. but yeah, check out the photo gallery.

thanks but im just going to put all black gravel in there and just get rid of the white. i didnt like it, i just want all black gravel. if i want white and black gravel i will just do it in the next tank cuz whatever gravel i put it is never getting changed lol
 
thanks atomix thats how i want to do mine but i want a huge piece of fake planted driftwood in the middle and plants beside it. like a good bit of fake plants everywhere like everytime i go to the fish store i want to buy a new plant once im done with the fish buying. because i dont think im buying anymore fish until i got it decorated how i want it. becuz the tank actually hasnt fully cycled out yet. but i want a background too and the bubble thing i have i want to put behind my driftwood. i want some resin rock on either side of the driftwood too.
 
ill see how well i can describe this, but this idea popped into my head just now

bubble wall behind a wall of long grass type plant

piece of driftwood in middle with moss or small ground covering plant in spots on it

resin rock on one end of driftwood, some absolutely crazy lookin plant on the other

natural gravel, looks like river rock type stuff
 
hope ur not talkin about real plants because right now im not ready for it. but i want to get an eclipse 5 and have a small planted with neons for a starter.
 
Heres how my 26 used to look. Im sure other people have much better setups, just something since noones posted yet. I had some cichlids.
