did your back break?

thats a huge tank, definitely nicely done up! Before maturing it already is very nice, after it matures definitely even better. Jungle like theme?

Considering moss on your driftwood?

That tank looks like it's outdoor. Am I correct?

**marle** · 13th Nov 2007, 00:18

i guess its indoor, look at the reflection of the tank at the first picture?

i thought i saw a dining table?

Wow!! Got presence!

5 ft tank, but the cabinet only 2 panel. Impressive. And also, the trim at the top is relative thin. Quite Zen in presentation.

Not to mention that the aquascape is nice too!

Cheers,

don't think you spend a lot of time looking at the floors right?

Hm, may i know what's the substrate that your using? It doesn't seem to have disturbed your water, it's so clear!

Looks like ADA or magic soil, currently there are several new brands of substrate out there which provides clear water and nutrients to your plants. One such brand is Gex.

yup, heard magic soil clears water really fast and have little ammonia output at the start, but at later stages, the magic soil might give out ammonia.
