Hi and welcome to my 33 G long journal!

Tank size 12" x 48" x 12.5"

For the longest time I've wanted/loved long tanks so I upgraded my 20 G L into a 33 G L.... 48" footprint what more can you ask for?
If anyone is interested here is my lame 20GL that I got rid of awhile ago lol

I am not sure what I am doing with the scape.. probably just a crazy jungle with lots of hiding spaces since it is a community tank.....

nice tank... wished i had more space or had a bigger tank like yours. ever considered adding carpeting plants to the foreground...? like your stump on the right side of your tank... looks like the mosses are growing well :)

:) hehe thx

I have some dwarf hairgrass in the front and in front middle i have some dwarf baby tears, they are growing kinda slow.. not sure why.. but i'll update when they fill in a bit more! :D
 
great job, what a change from the 20!;)

only criticism

it looks great, especially how you heavily planted on the left, and tried to balance it out using the middle and right, but the right needs a bit more or the center does. Otherwise great aquascape:)

I would spread out the wood more, maybe use a piece to break up the mini-jungle of plants on the left side...and then let the right side fill out the space more with the plants...JMO

oh ty... i really wish i hadnt plant everything down!! shifting might be hard work.. I think I might shift the right side over to left a bit and maybe go find a nice drift wood for the left side... not sure what type I should get thou as far as shape.. original i had a tree stump I put ont he left side didnt look good so i just kept it plants...
