Hi,
I started my first tank since childhood in September 2017. I´ve been reading the forums for a while, not posting a lot.
A mistake I made was not being 100% happy with the hardscape before flooding the tank. So I changed a lot since the start. I figured the easiest solution was to try a jungle.
My latest move was changing the stem plant in the back to crypts, removing a beach in the front and introducing the beautiful ferns (which gave really an instantly stunning effect). Now I´m pretty satisfied. So I wanted to show you!
