hi aaron,

yep, got it in now to prevent stagnation. Works a treat 😀
Thanks .

no worries Nick, i knew it wasnt snappy 😉

10l of JBL in, i have made an island shape with it so that you cannot see the 2 substrate lines at the front of the glass - much neater 😉



then i added the ADA Malaya, sloping towards the rear to create depth.



wood arrangment begins....



and the finished product



overall i am happy with it 🙂

i thought you might say that 😛 I decided against the more common theme of having a sculpture? like yourself had in the Miracle Mire, and it all pointing one way like my last tank and George did it in the crypt only tank as a better example. I shall still be having crypts, grasses & ferns in, but just trying a different approach regarding hardscape positioning.. 😀

similar to Williams tank

Thanks everyone. 😀
