Should look excellent in a few weeks! Keep us updated with pics!

I second skincareaddicted's opinion about the rock wall.....very chique! Any plans to add moss to that or the driftwood?

Nice tank, I like the way you've laid it out. It will be neat to see how it fills in. Beautiful angelfish! I just love the attitude it's giving us.

nice big tank man but i think it would be better if the crypts be moved to the front and the Micranthemum umbrosum more to where the crypts currently are... just my 2-cent's worth looking forward to the next update
