	Would it look good
greenmonkey51 Fish Master Posts: 1571 Kudos: 1692 Votes: 5 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	I want to move my SA community in my 75g to my 125g. But Im afraid that it won't look good. In my 75g I have pea gravel but in the 125g theres white sand. My 75g looks nice but I dont want to mess with changing out the sand. Am I just paranoid or is there anything I can do to make it look nicer. The pea gravel is the thing that makes the 75g look nice.

To make your self and the fish happy replace the white substrate. Plenty of rocks and DW would certainly make a difference. Maybe someone else can give you an idea on the type of plants to use.

Is there any way to darken up the tank. I know that adding some duckweed and surface plants would help. I think that driftwood would help contrast the tank. I also think that if i added peat that would help.

Drift wood will leak some tanning in the tank & leave it like a tea colour. Peat will lower a bit the pH & will darken the water aswell. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
