looking really great !!! are you going to put a centerpc plant on that one hill on the right ? or are you leaving it bare for the effect >? ethier way awesome tank !! great work
has the cork got soft yet? only thing that would be bad about it i can see is algae getting on it and you cant remove it since its cork and cant scrub it off.
looks great in the tank and cheap way to have a great look
oh, and regarding the top area:
I had thought I wanted to grow it in with HM or HC or something grassy. I still think about it, but I also think about how it could be cool with more ferns. haven't really made a decision yet, but did stick a few bits of HM in there to see how they do.
update: after medicating for several fish illnesses that remain uncured, the tank's biofilter was destroyed and brought on the worst algae attack I've ever had. I'd be embarrased to post pictures. it's been rough watching the downward spiral.
