I have a 4' long 55 gallon rectangular aquarium that I'm just setting up (so new that I'm doing a leak test as I type this). Long but shallow in depth, which means I'll be able to reach most of the back of it - while on a step stool lol
I was thinking that instead of going short to tall, front to back; going short to tall, left to right. I'm putting a terrace in on the left for a plecostomus and it feels ideal for shorter plants. Longer plants on the right, to hide filter and heating assemblies, seemed like a fun idea. All interspersed with various decor and bits of rock.
Have a general idea in mind but not anything really detailed as I expect the whole thing to come together organically as I find bits and pieces I enjoy looking at. I don't have any particular theme in mind and fully expect to toss things out that I end up not enjoying after all.
Has anyone else done this? Any pics?
