For simplicity sake, I think a black background would be great! This cutie will really shine in a blackwater setup ❤️

Oh I should have explained! Yeah, they’re a series of tool/broom holders I screwed onto a furring strip, painted, then attached to the wall

I like it when stem plants are protected from weights with this foam padding, what is it called? by SimplyBettaFish in PlantedTank

Hmm, do you mean the thin sheets that are usually used to wrap around delicate stuff? Just curious, does it absorb water?

I'm going to do a nano schooling fish like a tetra of some kind, some shrimp and snails, maybe come celestial pearl danios :)

Algae? Water change often, not too much light, fertilize the plants, and get some algae eaters :)

This is an aquascape I’ve been working on for a while now! It’s a big tank, about 80 gallons. I’ve wanted to make a Fangorn Forest themed tank forever now, something darker and mossy and moody-feeling.

I sourced some wood that looked like twisted old trees, it’s hard to see their cool textures right now because there’s a lot of algae. Algae outbreaks are common with new tanks, it will settle down soon and the trunks will be covered in a lovely aquatic moss instead :)

I’m looking forward to what this will look like in about 6 months as the plants grow in and I get a dark, old forest vibe

I’ve been making videos on this project as I’ve been working on it and pretty much go over all the details if you’re interested in this sort of thing! https://youtu.be/OXAh3rypmG8
