im not a huge fan of brightly colored gravel, but i like the tank, looks good

although, i highly advise you not to keep tiger barbs with angels, tigers love to nip at long finned fish, your angels could become a target

The Kissing Gourami has been removed, and 2 Blue Rams have taken it's place.

where did you put the kissing gourami?
they are really cool fish but they grow REALLY slow and it take them forever to get the the 12" size, but its worth the wait! lol

I like the fish a lot but Im into more of a nautraul look as far as the gravel goes. To each his own. I do like your aquascapeing otherwise.

looks nice overall, but i have to agree.. that "circus special" mixing of colored gravels has to go.. not picking on you, am just saying for all...

here is what has worked for me for a gorgeous planted tank.... about 2-3 inches of a black bio-gravel from caribsea... 3 or more watts per gallon of power compact lighting and adding flourish excel from seachem (according to directions) regularly... i set local, city tap water out over night (or, two nights) with NO additives and do water changes once a week or so... replenishing the floursh excel accordingly afterward...

ok, before all the co2 addicts descend.... i know i am not going to equal the growth rate short term with my system.... but, over the long term, it has worked just fine with alot less fuss/hassle...

just my two cents..!!

The gravel is obviously not for everyone, but maybe he's going for the psychedelic look. :cool2: Those plants in the background look like shrooms.
