This is the progression of my new 55 gal. setup:

The layout will have some more plants added, but it the general idea is obvious now - to have a "cluster" of plants in the middle and a surrounding "lawn" of low growing plants.

Given a 55, I would be tempted to scape it in a flow style with rocks indicating a lengthwise water flow and some sort of undulating substrate with mostly low level plants. 55 dimensions are not very easy to work with but you've done a nice job there.

Nice layout and containing interesting, rich thoughts, niko. The "flashing" substrate somehow a little stresses the simplicity of your approach.

very nice, lookst like you upgraded the light? what is the light spec? care to share?

Turtlehead

Same lights as before - a 55 and a 65 PC, total of 120 watts.

The pictures may have a different hue because I used a different setting for a white ballance this time.

I like the substrate, what is it? Also like the absence of a background in
the tank.
