Thats a nice tank. What size is it and how many Neons do you have? I am also looking at a large school of Neons for my tank.

Thanks i like it to . The tank is a juwel vision 180 and is 40 gallons (180 liters). There are 19 neons in the tank. The oldist is coming up to 3 years old the same age of the tank. Eny comments on how i can improve the tank eny thing like that please feel free to tell me.

Can you take a few more photos point the camera down and at a slight angle it is very dark on the RH side.

Do you have any driftwood or rocks in that tank.

Well from the picture you posted the flow of the tank is very confused.
For the most part you have a diagonal design to the tank with the aquascape flowing from the upper left down to the lower right. However your tall plants (look like vals ) that are growing to the surface are flowing over and down the middle of the right which ruins the 'scaped flow of the tank. I'd suggest either filling in the back right to the surface or trimming the plants so they dont get pushed down into the plants that are growing up.

^_^

I will do that here are some better pic's than the last 1

It appears as if you have no background on the tank or if you do so it is white in color. If you are able to, by placing a darker color background, i.e. black or a dark blue it would help to accentuate the plants more. Otherwise, I agree with what Babel had to say on placement of the plants you currently have.

ok i think i need to get a back ground

looks pretty cool

Looks pretty nice. I am not too picky about the way people aquascape their tanks exept for plastic ornaments and fake plants. Does your light extend across the whole tank? If so, trim those vals or replace them with stem plants that wont block out all that light. Of course, this is my opinion, do what you feel looks the best .

yes the light does go right across the tank. I think i need to trim the weed.

The back of the tank certainly requires painting I suggest black it is best applied with a paint roller, this gives a better coverage.

I find it difficult to follow the flow of your Aquscaping it seems very busy at one end and empty at the other. It requires some height possibly with drift wood and something to link the whole design together.

i think i will put black on the back. keep ur comments comming

Regarding painting the back of the tank for a background...

What type of paint do you use? Some sort of latex, I assume?

IMO you do better, and it's cheaper to just use a background from either the LFS or one you make on your own. Paint is harder to remove or change when you want to.

^_^

so I just put some black or blue card up then

You could, but it's best if it's water resistant so as not to become damaged with any accidental spills. You can get backing from a LFS or you can just paint it.
