Thanks Evo, yup i also remove the bogwood from the previous setup and i think just use the driftwood as the main theme for this setup. But i'm still thinking whether to put in ketapang leaves or not. Any suggestions?

Ketapang leaves will certainly improve the tank's naturalness.. do add some.

Wood placement looks a bit too prearranged to me. All of them facing almost the same direction cause them to look a bit un-natural. Just my 2 cents.

looks better bro.. wheres the cory close up pictures? haha..

*PHEW*!!!
Lucky for us you're wearing your shirt!
I'd try to get less bulky DW with low footprint.
This will give a good view of your fish and not trap dirt.
And I'm sure they will love the sand you are using!![]()

Looks better but you may want to mix the bulky DW with less bulky one. Anyway, where's the fish?

I see you got new wood, more choices....can try more different formations. Wood hang over cave like structures will look good, with Ketapang leaves in small pieces lying around the ground...some semi-covered under the Sudo sand.

Yup, the sudo sand is very nice. But as per light colored based gravel, it gets dirty very easily and will lose the nice clean sandy look quickly.

The wood looks promising. Can go arrange them and see what they look like. Don't forget to post your photos. The sand should be ok, dirt can be easily clean.
