pumped up amazon~bratyboy style - Aquascaping

Hey everyone i just acquired a 55 gallon tank and im anxious to get started with the display.

The idea for the tank was just to do a nice setup with driftwood and rocks. Tons of plants and a few fish from the amazon in all water levels. Not going to be the case.

i really like the idea of setting up a amazon tank that is true to the area and resembles one part perfectly.

So....as im looking for pictures online and try to get some ideas i couldn't get much so i went to youtube and found this video but the idea of the tank is near the end at 7 min and 24 sec. fast foreword to the part. its that tank that looks like it has java ferns. but im not hooked just yet on any picture but i have a good idea of what i want. and it should almost just like the amazon.

I will keep you all updated.

really nice scapes i think that a driftwood scape is a "easy one".
Just put moss and ferns in the driftwood in the setp and lt i grow. few smal plantas in front and few lare plants in background and all done

i really like the weeping moss? but i kinda want to do a few riccia rocks. i REALLY want to add a bunch of Bolbitis. java ferns will be added but i would like to get some of my lace to grow. background plants are going to be vals with dwarf sag and sag in the mid and foreground. i want a semi informal planting with maybe a few crypts and some cambomba and hyros. dont know yet.

I like several of them. I think you just have do go for it. You'll probably end up with something uniquely you.

Lots of our members check the forums during their regular workweek. Give it a few days, you'll get plenty of input.

You FINALLY got another tank! HOw long has it been since you tore everything down and sold it all off? Did you ever end up keeping one or did you totally take a break?

Anyway, I really like the look of the #5, but you should just start putting something together and let your own imagination take it away.
