I tried the pantie hose trick but no good at all it just blocked up within 3-4 days. I finally located a small white filter bag under. Now new problem it looked shocking seeing this white bag attached to the intake tube. This is how I went about changing the aquascape to hide it. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith *Attached Image:* Overall showing filter bag 12-08 Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

I moved the Anubias nana across the corner but before I could do this I had to pull out a lot of Crypts (not a worry they are used to it) The Anubias is on a few small rocks and just grows mad and will finally grow to the top of the tank. Then I replanted the Crypts at the side of the Anubias up to the front glass. I also put in 4 Seachem fertilizer tablets under the Crypts. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith *Attached Image:* Full tank photo 12-08 Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Just the way I like it. I have tried to create a natural look have I done it???? It will take a few weeks for the rocks to age that is if the SAE and the Shrimps let it grow. Another benefit now with the Anubias turned that way I can see the large surface of the Anubias which means I now get a better view of the Shrimps, they just love climbing all over it and gliding down to the substrate. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith *Attached Image:* Have I achieved the natural look yet?

But I also think it looks pretty dang good, and I would leave it like that. Thats just my opnion though. Good job. The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we dont know what to do.

More like it reminds me of nature taking over what man (or fist ) has constructed with the stone. I like it, makes a focal point but blends well with the substrate. That one large stone you added last definitely made a huge difference. ^_^

It makes me think of when knoll meets up with a plain or glen, meets up with a forest. (Bambi) Just replace the deer with fish. TTFN --->Ta-Ta-For-Now Kelly ;o}
