my 100 Gallon tank

Hi Biancaj, those plants are the plastic amazon sword plants that you will find in all Aquarium stores. I bought about 10 of them from JUMBO size and some medium, and some small. the green grass that runs along the front of the tank is also the plastic grass mat that the Aquarium stores also carry. I bought those to put on the bottom og the tank. they come in a 12 inch X 12 inch square and you can cut them to shape, however i had a problem with food getting trapped in it, so i cut a 3 inch section off of them and then lined them up one after another from one side of the tank, all the way across to the other side. It gives the illusion of having a grassy area bigger than it really is, plus, i don't have food being trapped, i just use my gravel vac to clean the gravel.

I have spent countless hours sometimes trying to get that just perfect look and get it then have something like a piece of driftwood not want to stay in place :duh: i have had that tank for almost 15 years and 2 states ( marine tank the first year) and over the years i have aquascaped it a lot of different ways and each way i did it it had to be perfect. I didn't realize that there were so many different ways to aquascape 1 tank. at least i took pictures of many of the different aquascapes i had and this one is by far my favorite.

Hehe...man, I know what you mean...you fiddle and you fiddle, you get a rock or a piece of wood JUST right....then, like an idiot, you touch it once more and it slips off of where you put it, and you can never get it back exactly like it was...DOH!

I know, she was a good manager who herself was an aquariest. since then they have a new manager and they hired an idiot for the fish dept. that does not know how to order and stock frozen food. i use bloodworms and they stocke ALL brine shrimp and nothing else. when i called him on it, he said don't fish eat brine shrimp ? he does not know how to order supplies and told him so, so now i drive to the competitor who orders the things that you want and have them in stock.
 
Nice tank you got there so all the plants are fake?..........and if so do you got Tiger barbs in your tank cuz the pic i think i see sum?
 
Yes i have 10 tiger barbs that have been in the tank for 2 years, and do very well with the other fish, no aggression at all :dance:
