Quick pic of my 55

u need plants.....

^ I disagree. I like a minimalist tank.

I could go either way with the plants... I could see some nice tall swords around the root on the left & some anubias tied to the branches of the piece on the right.

At the same time...I like letting the driftwood show itself off and having a nice open view of the tank. I dunno. I can't afford them right now anyways so whatever.

They are obviously not top shelf vodka drinkers! The skull was sweet.

Do your tank the way you want it! It's your tank. There is always someone here to tell you "Your doing it wrong"

Haha yeah I know. If the skull ends up in any tank it'll probably be my 20 gal. That thing is in complete disarray right now since I've taken all it's black sand and replaced with 'river rock' or whatever it's called substrate. But really I think I can do a better job displaying it in my home than in a fish tank where it's borderline cheesy

For now I think the 55 is set except for possibly changing the orientation of the root on the left. Too many sweet looking ways to set that one up

I think the root would like nice coming downward.. kinda like a hand reaching in... maybe in the middleish area.. or exacty where it is.. just downward.. hope I explained that so that you can understand.. what I'm trying to say..

Good Luck though.. it really does look good regardless of any changes..

looks like it's really coming together well
