Thanks stingray! YOu should post a pic of your scape on this thread. I think it would be cool to see them side by side. Of course mine still has a lot of time before it grows in and I am using a cheap DIY light system.Looks good! similar to an aquascape I'm doing in my office, I'm even doing an Xmas moss tree and stream bed lol, but with a different aproach.
I made the filter for the tank. There are two water returns to the tank; one return 3.5 inches from the left going right, one 3.5 inches from the left going right. There are two reasons for the diffuser being there: 1) the center of the tank is the deepest portion so the bubbles being emitted from the diffuser have time to diffuse before reaching the water surface 2) the diffuser is not that good so it needs a strong flow of water to disperse the c02 bubbles. Most people remove all of their equipment prior to displaying the aquascape, but certainly not before it has had a chance to fill in.One thing though. You gotta move that C02 bubbler! Why the heck is it in the front center of the tank?!
I wish I could, but no can do. Besides I just planted my mosses with the dry start method, so it will be a few months before it has water and fish, and this thread will probably be long forgotten by then, lol.Thanks stingray!

Ok, well if your homemade filter prevents you from puting the returns in the back, then I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. Can't wait to see how it looks in a few months.I made the filter for the tank.
