Here are a few shots of my 50 gallon tank. I know they are dark but you can kind of tell what's going on in there. When I figure out how to use the camera I will take some better shots. There are 2 otos, some CRS, some CBS, a bunch of cherries, and some amanos.

This is a shot of the front


Here is another


Here is a close up of the left side


The front right


CRS and some friends


Enjoy!

By the way, has anyone seen anyone else using this avitar? I think that I have seen it being used by someone here but I could be mistaken.

That's a really great looking scape you've got going there.

I hope my 50 will look half as good when finished. How about a list of your plants and lighting.

What are the specs of your tank. Tank dimensions/filter/co2/fert/light? What type of tank is that, I like the rounded corners, it seems that the tank is a taller tank rather than a long tank.

jnaz

The specs on the tank are:
50 gallon 30"x15"x20" Sea Clear acrylic with lots of scratches (it was free)
JBJ pressurized CO2 injection at 2bpm
2x96 watt Current CFL
Fluval 405 and 205
Current 1/10 chiller

Substrate
4" of Eco complete and 2" of ADA Amazonia 2
I know that 6" is a lot but my eco complete was from the "bad batch" so I went to the ADA soil
as a topper, plus I wanted to lower my ph.

Lava Rock
There is driftwood on the right that is covered by the ferns and moss

Plants
Riccia
Java fern
Ludwigia Repens

Rescaped the tank a week ago. Here are some pictures.

The pics that I posted earlier are a bit dark. These ones are lighter but a bit blue.




The female cherries are driving the males nuts again.

I took out all of the stems and kept most of the plants from the original layout. I did add an erio that I got in a trade.

Beautiful CRS!

maybe it's the angle or the refraction, but is the piece of driftwood on the right almost touching the front glass? In more pictures than not *to me* it takes a bit away from the rest of the hardscape.

my $.02 (which honestly isn't even worth that since I've never posted a tank on here lol)

jnaz

I kind of agree. I will see what it would look like moved to the piece behind it. I haven't quite yet got the placement in a way that completely satisfies me. My arms are constantly wet from moving the pieces.
