This will look great once everything fills out; I really like the hardscape and fish. Only thing I don't like is how flat the substrate looks, perhaps sloping it up towards the back would help?

 

Thank looks great i agree with black lung a slope would be nice.

 

Thanks for all the comments. I plan on cleaning the gravel soon, and so i will try to give it a slope. Has anybody had experience with securing moss with cotton thread? Im not sure how long to keep it on, or if it will just dissolve on its own accord. Ill get some more pics up soon, but I dont know how I can get my pictures any bigger or give them better resolution.

 

I've used cotton, took a long time for it to rot away but the moss covered it up well so it wasnt a problem

 

I'll be doing a lot more work on the tank in the next few days, so I will post new pictures then. Im planning on sloping the gravel and putting in a few more pieces of manzanita, that I collected at my cabin a few days ago. I did a water change today and put in a black background, which really makes it look better.

Here are some pics from a week ago.
