Meeting of Rivers
Hi people
Recently I became part of this great community, and I would like to be able to exchange ideas, criticisms and all the information needed for my new project. Currently, the aquarium will be emptied and retired to a new planted for this final year (31/12 to 01/01 are the only days off that I have) ... And as you can see is a mess, with poor layout done and many without care ... Only the first messes this aquarium was good, with beautiful plants such as cabomba furcada red.
After much work, saving and sacrificing my youth without amusement hope to reap a beautiful fruit, and I would like you could guide me.

I cannot help you too much, Jack. It looks nicely done to me. Maybe a few accent plants for here and there, but "river" inspired tanks IMO should be mostly green anyways with sandy bottoms that have limited ground cover. I really like it. Sorry! The extreme right and left sides of the tank are a tad barren and could use a clump of plants, but I would even be hesitant to do that because it would detract attention from the center of the tank.
So, you can't use what I say to re-scape your tank!
