Hi, This is my new Aquascape ! My wish is to make an attractive tank in my living room, nice to look and peaceful. It's not the "final" version, I have a lot of work to make it ... I want more colors, more plants ! Rotala macranda red, Juncus repens, ... coming soon ^^
The tank is still "under construction" so I did not take away the equipment for photographs













All the photographs are made by Renaud (in APC), a very big thanks to him

Bien fait! Nice crypts in the middle. What is the substrate and what sort of fertilization do you use - water column only or do you supplement the substrate?

That looks really peaceful. Crypts are great. I'd love to see typical frontal shot and info about the tank.

Superb in every aspect - style, composition, balance and presentation!

Do you find substrate heating beneficial?
