Where did you get those awesome drift woods? Did you buy that? If you did, how much did you pay for? Thanks.

[TheNyogtha]

@Jackhaasoffice It's called Redmoor wood. I bought mine at my local aquarium store, but you can find it online as well. Try a google search.

this makes me want to start a planted tank again :(

very beautiful.

what is the fish with the black stripe starting from its eye? a gourami perhaps?

[TheNyogtha]

@Cyworldabcd It's a Mesonauta festivus (Flag Cichlid). Very nice and fairly peaceful cichlid.

so u used gravel instead of sand?

[TheNyogtha]

@jarrod989 I used sand mixed with "Congo River" substrate from Caribsea.

Hello my friend ur tank is a amazing

But I have a question

Did u do something about the light or some shading in the tank?

I have the rio 180 and trying to do some shade without flooding plants

Do u have an idea for me?

[Gruffelo76]

I really like it. I am inspired...

[senseipokomoko]

[Ikanblack]

What kind of wood is dat?

[jprebelocoelhopalma]

NIce but with that wood i think you could do better... And congo river? Well thats obviasly not south american.. as cyperus helferi..

I would try to make it more shallow and use some Lotus or Echinodorus and change the susbract only for sand..
