saintly's 120 'hills of desire' - Aquascaping

saintly · 11-16-2009, 12:07 PM

it's been a while sinece i've posted a journal here, so here's my latest scape.

similar to my LFS tank but with a twist or 2

the tank will reside in the far corner.

i did think about putting in the kitchen, but my boy looked at me strange.

so it ended up here.

this was 90% complete. a few alterations took place.

and on to the planting.

moss,

here's an image of that very same moss.

directly after filling.

2 days in, and the grass is growing nicely.

4 days in....

this tank is nearly 1 week old, and here's how it looks as of tonight.

updates soon. many thanks folks

Wow!!!!!!
I don't know where to start!
Cute kids! Nice kitchen! love the wallpaper!!!!! I really feel that what is around the aquarium is as important as the aquarium itself. If he home looks like crap then the aquarium loses its beauty.
But love love the stones. Where did you get them from? I have been looking for some just like that.
Just because you have a good eye I really like the tank more with out the plants. But plants are important. lol.

Very nice. I can't wait to see this tank progress. Can you tell us more about the equipment you are using and dosing plans? Also, what fish do you plan on using?

Sincerely,
Jeremy
