Now my opinions to your aquascape. Well, there is none yet . The one thing that struck me right away is your background. What is that? A foil of some sort? I would place a background on the tank that is either dark blue or even black, if it is not too late to do so. Is it possible for you to place the driftwood into this tank and take a photo of it so we can get a better idea of how fitting it would be? Hope this helps, Ingo Last edited by LITTLE_FISH at 18-Oct-2005 09:12 Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

Anywhere around where you could get an archetectural piece of branch? that always looks spiffy For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett
