My first attempt (1 month old)

Vey nice aquarium, Joe. I particularly like the use of anubias in the center next to the driftwood. I look forward to seeing more pictures as the layout matures and you change things around (I know I usually can't help but continually change a few things here and there).

I know it's just a personal opinion, but might I suggest attempting to use one color or shade of the smooth rocks. The multiple colors seems a little distracting, but that's just my take. Overall, I really like it. Thanks for sharing the photo.

I take your point. The diffferent colored rocks are interesting in themselves but are featured too much I think. Although a natural stream will have a mixture of rock types and not one type. I think I will go to my local beach (where I picked the rocks) and collect a number of the same type and swap them in. I will send photo of the result so we can look at before and after.

Cheers

Joe, your tank looks very nice :smile:

The only thing are the large rocks up front keep drawing my eyes away form the the rest of the tank. Like already suggested changing to one color rock will help and also IMO go a bit smaller in size.
