Hi Nevada!!!

Very nice. IMHO I think the background plants are not thick enough.

**Ahzai** · 6th Jun 2007, 08:39

simple and nice ! I love your tank.

**zenscape** · 6th Jun 2007, 08:59

Beautiful!

Love your driftwoods and its arrangement. Plants choice is also excellent and yes, your recent change is better.

Perhaps take out the equipments behind and give it another shot and it will be a masterpiece

If you stick to the name of Tropical Rain Forest, then the most recent change will quite a misnomer. It will look more like an island within a savannah plain.

Something seems missing at the centre portion where the rocks are. More Bolbitis?

Nice setup with interesting driftwood!

Not sure if a black background will enhance the view.
How about tying some Anubias at the base of the driftwood? They would grow well shaded by the stem plants.

Thank you guys for the comments and inputs.

Ruiestrelinha,

What do you mean by giving you the setup? Do you mean the tank specs and info? sorry ...

Leeruisheng,
Yes the background plants are just added like 2 to 3 weeks ago. It hasn't grow really thick yet ...

Zenscape,
I will do that once the tank already more matured

I like your tank setup too and i hope you'll get something from the ADA Competition! GL!!

Valice,
Yes thats what i'm thinking too. So do you think i should add more bolbitis or more crypts? or stargrass? Thats one of the reason why i need opinion on choosing midground plants in other thread

Juggler,
Tried with black background however it makes the tank looks smaller and less attractive. I'm thinking of using white oyama (will get the oyama from singapore during my SUmmer break later on AUgust

) I don't think nana is a good choise as it has large rounded leaves, whereas the other plants that i choose is slim and small leaves. I'm thinking crypts or stargrass instead like what i mentioned to valice ... What do you think?
