Truly nice mate (experience shows),,,, interesting to see how many others with large scaped tanks there are on here.
Hopefully a few people that look on here that rarely show their stuff can give us a peep.

This was back when my old jack was still kicking, not much has changed scape wise except a few extra small bits of wood for the new jack to hide in.

found another one.  a couple of years ago with Living Color (Fishtank Kings) corals - fake marine look. Wish I have kept the coral set.  Always mistaken as a marine tank.

Is a 5x3x2 considered large?

lets say any water volume greater than a 6x2x2 is large  :D

mind you, Johnsys thread so lets see what he calls large!

my largest tank is a 6x2x2

Love the Uaru in the last set of pics

rescaped my 5x3 on the weekend (excuse the rock in the tree - hopefully it will stop floating soon)

pretty happy with it now and plenty of floor space for my ray pup (hopefully more on the way - a trip to buccals is in order :))

my pup is just a motoro but im hoping to get a nice 3 way from buccal soon :)

that piece of wood is from my back yard too so it didnt cost me anything!! :) im hoping to stumble over another piece to mirror that one on the other piece of bracing

golden vine always looks nice - thinking about stealing all the wood Jules has in his snake vivs :P

Really nice man! I'm keen to add a bit more of that golden Viney driftwood up the back right hand corner of my tank. Some of that in there suspended from the top would look rad as well!

What kind of pup have you got? They are addictive. Can't wait til mine are all big enough to go in the display.

David K is selling some nice gold vine.

 

He posted about the "little" 5x2x2.

Amazing tanks! I'll one day go to tank busters, but I'm going for a more planted tank at the moment. Kassysimon has one of my favourite planted tanks, if anyone has seen it in its prime it's an awe inspiring tank c906164c9931d549d3d6cbb16e00a01c.jpg This is my 5x3x2 at the moment Only got a couple of small archers, 3 greenhorse faces and 2 l144s Huge thank you to kassysimon for the plants and help

Yeah man for sure!! Get some pics on here! Good turn out so far!
Also interested in seeing people's filtration. I was just running an FX6 on this tank until last weekend. I added an overhead filter box I made full of K3 bubbling media. My heaters are also in there now, piece of mind having no heaters in the tank with large predators.
I'm also going Picking up a GH/KH test kit later in the week and start to raise the KH "if needed" to maintain a more constant PH level. Thanks to Mark "Buccals" for sharing his knowledge with me about this and many other things over the last few years. Thanks for all the help Mark! Only now after nearly 15 years of keeping fish I can sit back and say I'm content with what I'm keeping and how my tank is setup.
Now to get onto the next project... 8x4x2.5

both thumbs up mate !!
