I was waiting for the dust to settle earlier today in a newly setup 80 gal tank. It had a very natural quality about it (similar to what I've observed while snorkeling in local streams and rivers) and thought I would snap some shots. They're not the best, but thought I would share::

Nice shots are those leaf fish?

 

[skylsdale]

Nope--just your average black skirt tetras (a bit washed out with the silt and stress of the new tank).

 

[turtlehead]

oh very nice.

If you didn't tell me, I would have said that that was a REAL underwater photo in some natural setting. Way to go

The substrate has a nice natural look to it. Nice photos.

Snorkeling around Northern lakes (in the summer) is a lot of fun, isn't it. Some very colourful sights, both plants and fish. Just wish I had an underwater camera to capture some of them.

Great job -- as everyone before me has said, it looks very natural!

Can we see a larger shot of your tank?
and what are the specs, and what type of wood is this?
thanx

I call shenanigans. He just took some pictures in the local stream and wants us to think it's his tank...

But really, an awesome job on the tank! Did you just grab some buckets and raid a local stream for the substrate?
