its something i been putting off for awhile now. i started to put some stuff in there before i thought about taking pics. the only thing that will prob stay where it is is the driftwood and the rocks on the left. the other plants should be switched up some what.

That's a really sweet piece of driftwood. I'm looking forward to more updated pics- do you have any specific plans?

ok so i added about 20 crypts on the right side. around the driftwood and in front area. really like crtyps and didnt have many in there last time. i also added 2 types of hygro. one in the back the other on the driftwood. also added 2 water sprites.

put some more vals back. i really liked the area of vals i had there. i forgot how much of a pain vals are to plant when they are long strings. also put another terracotta pot since my elephant nose likes to hang out in it.

Yeah, vals suck to plant. But it's really coming along (wish I had a 120)!

Nice long tank MG. By the way, this background you're putting, will it also have missed spots? lol :grinyes:
What happened to your wall? You ran out of paint? hehehe :grinyes:

its hard to paint behind a 120. also put some hc around the terracotta pot and around the crypts.

well i gave up for the night. filled the tank back on turned the hot mag back on in hopes to kill off the rest of the duckweed. starting to run out of plants so i might hold off finishing this until next fish club meeting where i should be able to pick up more plants. i have met 2 of my goals i think. first goal better caves for my elephant nose. the new driftwood and i cant even find him so that goal has been met. the other goal was to have more open area for the angels. with the big section of crypts in there that shouldnt be a problem anymore.

well i going to have to pick up some more plants. i still have a hole. i left lots of room for them to grow out. lots and lots of crypts. i cleaned the glass just for h. just so i dont have to hear him cry some more. angels are not hiding in fair from me.
