Hey guys and gals I recently had an idea to make a 3D background for my tank. Now im no artist but i did the best i could. I carved it out of Styrofoam and then covered it with concert. Not the best but it hides my filter, heater and Co2 well.

It has most live plants but the one in the far left with the flower is a fake and there is also one on the far right side near the bottom that is fake.

The fish I have in it are 3 green tiger barbs, 6 hatchet fish, 5 cory cats, 3 ottos, one golden dojo loach and i want to put in 3 dwarf neon blue rainbow fish

I would like to put something in the tank that would use the little platform i made on the left hand side of the tank but i don’t know of anything lol

also im looking for a good ground cover plant like a moss or something?
Ok here it is.

heh ya im pretty proud of it :D Any1 have any good suggestions on a ground cover plant? and maybe where i can get it?
 
Hey guys thought i would post some updates of my 40 gallon FW tank. IT has grown algae on the background and i think that makes it look better. i also added more plants, fish and the old plants have grown pretty well.

What do you think? (sorry the pics not great our camera is dieing :P)
