wanting to try something new, and because i got a new tank aswell. i did a few mistakes on the 22 long like some areas are shaded and some prevents the water flow and plant choices etc.

Wow!! The hardscape is awesome. I need to collect some more wood and rocks but it gets pricey.. in the 4 hours in post i can see in your picture that you were watching something on tv. Possibly insperational pictures of aquascapes? =)

That's awesome Jap. Didn't realize that's why you were picking through all those stones at April. Where did you get all that wood?

A few BNP or a host of Otos will take care of the white slime.

Boy that's a pretty big slope in the back. Hope it holds.

Hmmm may have to go to King Ed even though I don't like to.

And yes I have a few juvies but they are hard to catch.
