After having my first fish for a while in @Claire's old 155l cube, I felt the time was right to fill the space in the man cave with the biggest tank I could realistically fit; to avoid any temptation to buy more tanks so I now have a Juwel Rio 350 121 x 51 x 66 cm. If I could have taken a sledgehammer to the old chimney breast...
The fish had plastic plants and decoration in the cube, however I wanted to try natural decoration and real plants this time. Claire has a nice planted tropical tank, and a nice marine tank and I felt bad when I saw all the plastic tat I had given my fish!
So far I only have two Java Fern, two types of Echinodorus, some Cryptocoryne and Frogbit. I've put a few bits of weeping moss on the wood in the hope this spreads. There are still a couple of plastic plants to fill the space and provide cover for the time being, they will be gone ASAP!
I'll update this thread with more pictures and updates as they happen.
