After that, I can move the plants more towards the middle of the tank more, but this tends to kill the feeling of depth. The idea is to slope the substrate from the right side to the left (i.e., the wall of my apt. to the open area). It's really tricky, and may take a little tinkering. I could make it much more obvious, but I'm a plant lover, so I can't give them all up for only 5 or so species. I'm tinkering with symmetry. If you would have seen the tank before I pruned, you would get a much better idea. I'm trying to contain lateral (x) space, but expand it on the y & z axis. This may require an eventual room shot to pull off...we shall see.
I'm always up for something new.
Edit: There's also a Feng shui element involved, which further complicates things. But no corners or edges face you when you enter the room. It's really neat how it works...it does "feel" better in a strange way...
