Falstaf,
I heard you are amazing at designing tanks. I have a 20 gallon that currently has black gravel, a black background, 2 chunks of slate (like the size of cinder blocks), and water. I want to stock it with a puffer I think. Any thoughts on what I should do? Thanks for the help.

Hi! thanks for the compliment

Sure I can help, I just need the measurements of the tank so I can see more less the proportions and you want a rock only scape? Oh and if you can give me the kind of light you have that will sure help to.

I can get those demensions to you Monday as I will be going on vacation tomorrow. I am looking for a planted tank with the two "slabs" as my focus. I was wondering if you cousld throw mw 2 designs.... 1 for a dwarf puffer and on for 2 Angels and a smattering of Corys. Thanks for all of your help.

I'm back and I brought the demensions of the tank with me:
Length- 30 inches
Width- 12.5 inches
Height- 19 inches.
Thanks for all your help. Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi, sorry I was out of town on business, let me work on it today and I can have something up by tonight or tommorrow morning.

wow.. ur really nice and helpful falstaf

Hi!

Ok here it is, i actually like it a lot, it's quite simple because puffers are a bit small, so they have to outstand the aquascape. so i used 4 pieces of slate instead of 2.

Plants are:
-java fern (attached to the slate)
-Anubias bateri var. nana (attached to the slate also in front of the java fern and where the slates touch eachother)
-Aponogeton undulatus (background)
-Vallisneria Americana (giant val)
-Crokskrew val
-Cryptocoryne wendtii "brown" (sides)
-Lilaeopsis
-Cabomba, hornwort, or water whisteria (back right, depending on light conditions)

That looks fantastic. I have been wanting to do something with this tank for quite sometime now. I appreciate all of the help. And yes, it is a 29 gallon. I was thinking about my other tank, my 20 gallon when I typed. I ment to ask for help on my 29 gallon.
