    Wow completely stunned, excellent tanks.

    I think we should have a monthly competition to see who has the best tank like the international sites. (Maybe the sponsors will sponsors a gift :sick: for the winner)

    and I taught I spent too much time on my tanks :wink:

    seriously though these are picture perfect tanks!

    15 July 2011.jpg



    08 August 2011 - first Major Re-scape - full Gravel change from Silica Sand to Fluorite Black Sand - removed internal filter and set up external cannister filter. Made a bigger moss wall to fill space left by removing internal filter

    Hey guys, joined the site when I first started my aquarium. Awhile ago, haven't been very active.
    I am back into reading everything I can and this forum is very very good! Nice to see the local guys beautiful tanks!

    I quite like the idea of this thread, my aquarium is ever changing.
    Pity I dont have too many photo's. They work well in showing progression. It's a 160l around about tank, the floor is nicely sloped.
    It is no longer in front of a window rookie error on my part. Has a 600lph canister filter. And I only buy hagen lights they work amazingly.
    As you can see most recent photo alot of trimming has been done... waiting for the grass to grow...

    Let you know what you think.

    This is my 340L community tank. The water is tainted with tannins but it seems like I'm finally getting the better of the driftwood
