    Thumbs up Re: 1ft, 1 stone scape. :)

    Looks nice! I like the texture and color mix of the rock, even has the ideal tinge of algae on it... alot of character.

    Btw, did you DIY your intake steel mesh guard too? Looks good.

    Thx! haha ya... drilled with a smaller drill head for wood, later found out that my hose cant fit thru.. and discovered that i only have large drill head for stone and walls.. haha.. force the drill head in resulting in a ''not so smooth'' finish

    nice and simple tank! maybe you want to insert the lily pipe further into the hose, seems scary that only a few mm of the hose is holding onto the lily pipe!

    by the way, you using a 1 ft cube?

    love the overall setup.
    nice and neat

    the DIY mesh is a nice touch too

    i like the texture and contrast the rock creates.
    of course there are ways to improve the scape,
    like, smaller similar rocks or even pebbles to complement,
    and smaller plants to adjust the scale the scape creates.
    nevertheless this is nice

    Thx for the compliments
    that is my worry too. cut the original tubes too short already.. still looking for clear type tube for these 9mm lily pipes...
    its not a cube btw, the dimension for the tank are- 30w x 22H x13D cm.
