@rusticdr you are right. Thanks. Sorry for mistake. The aquarium is 270 days old. Set up the tank took us around one day.

Looks gorgeous! I was surprised how well the aquarium can look without hardscape!

Hi,

your tank shows how much impact an awesome plant growth can have. I really like the composition a lot.

One question: Did you just plant into the flat substrate or is there any kind of slope underneath the focal point? (Trying to learn as much as possible 😉 )

Best Regards

@Dominik_K I made gently rising from the substrate at a focal point. In addition, I put 4 cm in the front and 8 cm in the back of the aquarium.

By the way watch that movie. This is that aquarium at the beginning of its existence:

Hi,

I like this tank a lot. Did you every think about a brighter background? I think milkglas (is it called that way in english?) would be worth a try 😉

Another question: How many neon tetras do you house in that tank? Looks like about 20.

 

[salava8]

I can't use brighter background because aquarium has black silicone between walls. I think it looks bad on the photo. I tried but I don't like this effect. 🙂 Thanks for sugestion.
Yes, I have about 20 neon tetras.

The arrangement took 1072 place in the IAPLC 2017 competition 🙂. Soon the tank will be liquidation. His place will be occupied by a 243L aquarium with a biotope ... Lake Malawi. New challenges are needed. 😀
