JUMP TO LAST PICTURE UPDATES:
DiY Sump, mame overflow and light stand
---------------
Ever since i rehomed my wifes beta, i've been attracted to planted tanks. Because of this pretty much every tank i've owned has become a planted tank. Since all my tank journals have this similar theme, i figured i might aswell combine my 3 tank journals into 1 single journal. So here is the start to my new Tank Journal, Neven's Planted Addiction.
A long while back i posted a thread that gave a quick reference to pictures of my start into this hobby, unfortunately the pic links went dead. I decided to rehost the pictures just for those who want to see the old thread: http://www.bcaquaria.com/forum/member-photo-video-gallery-17/my-old-scapes-2241/
