Yup, ranma got it, thx! Here's a link to the light fixture , I bought it online:

It's one of the few places that has the 70w version, most common is the 150w.

yah, me too! until I learned the hard way, if you can't aquascape, no product can help you. Nowadays, just dosing Seachem Excel for my tanks.

Amano is a genius though, he got me into this hobby, so credit where credit is due

Happy New Year everyone! So I too decided to rescape for the new year. Last scape was super bare, a small island of plants. While cleaning the garage, found a few old decorative twigs and started to play around with them, few hours later, they are in my tank.

So I added more substrate in the back and planted heavily from plants we got from plant swaps we attended at a local planted tank club gathering. Changed out the sand since we found that the sand (got from an ADA retailer) might be for marine. The new sand is more more yellowish and hides fish droppings better, also look less glaringly white.

So far, the guppies seems to appreciate the new scape and are quite playful around the new scape.

As always, critiques, comments and suggestions welcomed! Also, thanks to my wife for helping out.

I like your new scape. I will say i will be proud to have something like that on my study table. The branch you add in looks cool. Never have the idea to simply add in branches for a nano. good job!!!

By the way why can't sand use for marine tank be use in planted tank?

Very nice aquascape! I really like the second picture. I think its about time I invested in some glassware but ADA is far too expensive in UK. I also like the look of the sand against the plant border. I may well try to use a light coloured sand as you have in my next aquascape.
