Advice: New at this (First Tank) so STILL LEARNING - READ READ READ!!! ALSO Use sites such as this for info and tips on set ups ect VERY HELPFUL Decide on the type of fish you want first then plan from there. Be patient with your set up.

Lovely fish avatar
Nice job with hiding all the equipment, hoses etc. Looks natural. There is one thing that strikes me a little odd: the overall purple tint possibly caused by your choise of lighting tubes. Otherwise very well done! fish avatar
Hey! That looks great. I love what you've done with the rocks! I've always wanted to create a little house area like that in min! Great job! fish avatar
