Thanks R Reiner im using pool filter sand from Home Depot. I do want to add some rocks though to the sand. I’m in between the smooth small black river stones and regular brown gravel mix mrrobxc mrrobxc was telling me about

I'd keep it natural looking just know if you add a bunch that over time all the sand will be on the bottom and the larger size gravel on top. If you only add a little into the mix the larger size will still end up on top but you can still see the sand in between the scattered gravel. I'm trying to go the Safe T Sorb route for my tank with a small grain nat6gravel on top maybe as a cap or just straight safe t sorb

OOH! I like that much better! It looks a little empty on the left IMO. Id put another sword or two over here. Other than that it looks great!

Damn your tank and fish look good! Your swords are really blowing up and it makes me jealous lol mine are shriveled up and don’t seem to want to take off... just got a Fluval 3.0 light for my tank so hopefully it’ll help them look like yours!

Thanks M MFM I appreciate it, I go heavy on my lights too. They're on for 14 hours a day and get the root tabs once every 60 days. Thanks DwarfCichlidLvr DwarfCichlidLvr how is it now? little more filled out I hope hahaha Thank You C Chris2485 it took many many trips to multiple lfs, I honestly couldnt tell you. If I had to guess it was probably from Rod @ predatory fins where I got the zebrinas

Looks good!
However the branch in the middle that's sticking up looks out of place Imo. It looks better when it's laying down.
