The water is indeed slighty brownish. This is because of the pieces of wood and a lot of oak leaves that are in this tank. Also the lights that I use gives a natural look of the water. The lights that I use are 3x 50W GU10 halogen warm white spots.
really nice tank.
is it just me or from few of the picture the color is slightly brownish is it from the water or the light or is it the wood?
i'm not saying that is bad though i thought that actually add to the natural feel

Hi Bro, nice setup very natural. Have you thought of changing the halogen light with LED type?
Thanks for your compliment about the scape.
I have indeed considered about replacing the halogen for LED GU10 bulbs.
Don't know when the change is going to find place but I have thought about it.
I have an SA biotope as well and I find that replacing the halogen with LED bulb (3 x 1W per bulb) is really an excellent decision I've made.
Btw, where did you get those oak leaves bro?
The oak leaves are just from my backyard. I live near a forest and their are more then plenty oak trees. There are European oak trees and also American oak trees in my neighbourhood, so it isn't a problem to get them. My first idea was to combine two GU10 spots with one 5W LED floodlight.
natural looks.. congrats on the breeding..
Update from my side:
I've introduced 17 Nannobrycon unifasciatus and 4 young Mesonauta egregius to this tank.
So this makes:
18 Nannobrycon unifasciatus
7 Corydoras aeneus
7 Poecilocharax weitzmani
5 Hypoptopoma sp.
4 Sturisoma festivum
4 Mesonauta egregius
1m 1f Taeniacara candidi
1f Dicrossus maculatus (soon I will get a new male and three females)
1m 1f Copella arnoldi (Going to get three more females)
I also made a movie of this tank a few days a go and want to show it here:
Very impressive setup and nice photography work!!
Candidi needs to reduce some weight : ) nice pictures though
