Yes Miss fish the Shelf is like to one you made. It looks good. The other side of the log thing has fake Algea Painted on it. It came with the 37G tank when I bought is but it was too big for the tank. I put it in and turned the Algea side to the back and it looks good. The Gupppies My angels will take care of.

I feed about 3 every other day to them now. They enjoy the live food.

I have decided to get rid of the Water sprite and will be putting my wisteria in its place. I am also getting a plant order together to order when the tank is ready. I have decided to keep my 29G tank up for now but will change the substrate to the Eco that I have been waiting on for a month now.

I have been up to my arm pits in fish tanks today. I had the day off of work so I started the aquascaping of my 75G tank. Here it is now that I am done. When I move the rest of my angel fish I will have 2 Amazon sword to add to the tank.

I made a Plexi Glass Divider so I could raise a section of my tank. I had it in the center. I started to move the gravel around it and on one side the Silicone came loose.

I moved it to the corner of the tank. I got it in place and I removed most of the gravel from my 29G tank, to fill it up. I didnt realize how much gravel it would hold. I got my plants moved and planted where I want them.

You can see the Plexi glass through the tire.

Let me know what you think.

I certainly enjoy the tires.
They look very nice w/ sandy color gravel.
The sloping substrate adds a nice 3 dimensional look.
Not sure I like the tubes supporting the red slate.
Too bad you can't camoflauge them.?
The white gravel almost gives the idea of a frozen river, nice.
And beautiful angel too.

Here is an update. I am fighting with Green Water. See Green Water, HELP!!! I went ot the LFS to get my Albino Cory some friends, I bought 4. In the tank next to them I saw the Otos I have been looking for. I bought 6 to split between my tanks.

I will get more photos of my tank with all the fish when I get rid of my green water.

Really nice!

usacutie81 · 12-13-2006, 09:17 PM

Those last 2 pics had very sharp colors. It was kind of a shock to have the orange pop out at me like that after all the neutrals. Your tank looks awesome, it's coming along great. Are you planning to put up a background?

I love your tank!!! And the angels(if u keep seeing me complimenting angels, it is because i am excited to get my other pair this friday
